Some Girls

I've been holding out so long 

I've been sleeping all alone

You've been staring in my dreams 

Lord I miss you. 

I've been waiting in the hall 

Been waiting on your call 

When the phone rings 

It's just some friends of mine that say, 

"Hey, what's the matter man? 

We're gonna come around at twelve 

With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you 

We're gonna bring a case of wine 

Hey, let's go mess and fool around 

You know, like we used to"

I've been walking Central Park 

Singing after dark 

People think I'm crazy 

I've been stumbling on my feet 

Shuffling through the street 

People ask me, "What's the matter with you boy?" 



Sometimes I want to say to myself 

Sometimes I say

Fooling on my time

Lies, dripping off your mouth like dirt 

Lies, lies in every step you walk 

Lies, whispered sweetly in my ear 

Lies, how do I get out of here? 

Why, why you have to be so cruel? 

Lies, lies, lies I ain't such a fool! 



Lies, lies in my poppas looks 

Lies, lies in my history books 

Lies, lies like they teach in class 

Lies, lies, lies I catch on way too fast 

Fire, fire upon your wicked tongue 

Lies, lies, lies you're trying to spoil my fun 



Lies, lies you dirty jezebel 

Why, why, why, why don't you go to hell? 

Why, why you think me such a fool? 

Lies, lies, lies honey that's ya rules! 



Lies, lies, lies, lies, oh my lies...

I was driving home early sunday morning through bakersfield 

Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station 

And the preacher said "You know you always have the 

Lord by your side" 



And i was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran 

Twenty red lights in his honor 

Thank you Jesus, thank you lord 



I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late 

And I thought by the time i got there she'd be off, she'd be 

Off with the nearest truck driver she could find 

Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner 

A little bleary, worse for wear and tear 

Was a girl with far away eyes 



So if you're down on your luck 

And you can't harmonize 

Find a girl with far away 

And if you're downright disgusted 

And life ain't worth a dime 

Get a girl with far away eyes 



Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send 

10 dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus, 

Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California 

And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio and all my 

Dreams would come true 

So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl 

Well, you know what kind of eyes she got 



So if you're down on your luck 

I know you all sympathize 

Find a girl with far away eyes 

And if you're downright disgusted 

And life ain't worth a dime 

Get a girl with far away eyes

Well now we're respected in society 

We don't worry about the things that we used to be 

We're talking heroin with the president 

Well it's a problem, sir, but it can't be bent 

Uh yes! 



Well now you're a pillar of society 

You don't worry about the things that you used to be 

You're a rag-trade girl, you're the queen of porn 

You're the easiest lay on the White House lawn 

Get out of my life, don't come back 

Get out of my life, don't come back

She's so delectable 

She's so respectable 

Get out of my life

Worked the bars and sideshows along the twilight zone 

Only a crowd can make you feel so alone 

And it really hit home 

Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine 

Well here's another goodbye to another good friend 



After all is said and done 

Gotta move while it's still fun 

Let me walk before they make me run 

After all is said and done 

I gotta move, it's still fun 

I'm gonna walk before they make me run 



Watched the taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house 

They're laughing and singing 

Started dancing and drinking as I left town 

Gonna find my way to heaven, `cause I did my time in hell 

I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well 



After all is said and done 

I gotta move I had my fun 

Let us walk before they make me run 



After all is said and done 

I did alright, I had my fun 

But I will waddle 'fore they make me run 

But I will walk 'fore they make me run 

I will walk 'fore they make me run 

I will walk 'fore they make me run 



After all is said and done 

Gotta move, I had my fun 

Let me walk before they make me run 

I'm gonna walk before they make me run

Shattered, shattered 

Love and hope and sex and dreams 

Are still surviving on the street 

Look at me - I'm in tatters! 

I'm a shattered. 

Shattered 



Friends are so alarming 

And my lover's never charming 

Life's just a cocktail party - on the street 

Big Apple 

People dressed in plastic bags 

Directing traffic 

Some kind of fashion 

Shattered 



Laughter, joy, and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex 

Look at me - I'm in tatters I 'm a shattered 

Shattered 



All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter 'bout 

Shmatta, shmatta, shmatta -- I can't give it away on 7th Avenue

Work and work for love and sex 

Ain't you hungry for success, success, success, success 

Does it matter? (Shattered) Does it matter? 

I'm shattered. Shattered 



Ahhh, look at me - I'm a shattered 

I'm a shattered 

Look at me - I'm a shattered, yeah 



Pride and joy and greed and sex 

That's what makes our town the best 

Pride and joy and dirty dreams and still surviving on the street 

and look at me - i'm in tatters, yeah 

I've been battered, what does it matter 

Does it matter, uh-huh 

Does it matter, uh-huh, I'm a shattered 



Don't you know the crime rate is going up, up, up, up, up! 

To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough! 

You got rats on the west side 

Bed bugs uptown 

What a mess this town's in tatters I've been shattered 

My brain's been battered - splattered - all over Manhattan 



Uh-huh, This town's full of money grabbers 

Go ahead 

Bite the Big Apple, don't mind the maggots, huh 

Shadoobie, My brain's been battered

Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter! 

Pile it up, pile it high on the platter
