| Call me outside, I’ll come running down
|
| You call me outside, I’ll come running down
|
| Call me outside, I’ll come running down
|
| You call me outside, I’ll come running down
|
| When I satisfied each need invented by my eyes
|
| I was a nest by a fox’s hole
|
| Or dirt underneath your boot soles
|
| When I satisfied each need invented by my eyes
|
| Till it was nothing like I’d imagined, oh
|
| Like cocaine, their green eyes fixed
|
| On the television to pass the time
|
| Until their two miles of elegant blinds
|
| Halfway raised for the watching as you walked by
|
| «Look, come to the window…
|
| She carries a candle at mid-day!
|
| While the sun’s still so high!»
|
| But you knew better than to pay mind
|
| To what people and the Devil say
|
| Call me outside, I’ll come running down
|
| Into your vacant, intoxicating night
|
| If you call me outside
|
| To their haunted streets
|
| Their red electric lights!
|
| Oh, I’m on the sad side of a nowhere town
|
| But sister I’m all you’ve got
|
| So call me outside, I’ll come running down…
|
| Then, not another word |
