On the main streets and the In the condos white as bruised With the carmine of the busy bars
There's a and mystic beauty To these inner-city slide by in the velvet of their cars
Through the dance halls and the malls And the filled with Dresden dolls To the school of fallen angels on the
The whole city's an expensive whore A forest nymph with a But ain't no woman around
No, ain't no woman around No, there ain't no woman Well, I'm surrounded by these But there just ain't no around
And the girl that my bed hear the words I should've said To the only true love I found
I'll pretend that in her purse Is a day-dream, not a That comes to kick me down I can taste the youth of her kiss
Maybe it's the childhood I missed The first time around there's a shape to her charms a strange meat on her arms But there no woman around
No, ain't no woman around No, ain't no woman around Well, I'm surrounded by girls But there just no woman around
Sometimes I I'm running Like a fever the night And I've run myself straight the ground
I miss your smile, your And your on my skin And I'm lost and alone in this
From the locks and and strings of pearls To the drunk and eager, girls It's an floor show Matinee in town And it suddenly that I'm surrounded by these girls But ain't no woman around
No, there ain't no woman No, there ain't no woman Well, I'm by these girls But just ain't no woman around
