She smelled like a thunderstorm When I met her Down in the Tenderloin Sipping tea
Vicodin pills some scotch And a sweater
Soon I was feeling Back on my feet
She lived in a little shack By the water The sound of the ships would lull Us to sleep
A couple of sloths the world Had forgotten
With nothing but youth And faraway dreams
After the saints fly home
Solomon resting in his tomb Paperbacks on a train
Sugarcane fields All wet with rain
Hurricane lanterns glow
After the rain the boats are slow
I’d rather be left behind
Nothing’s as pure As an empty mind
