On the main streets and the In the condos as knuckles bruised With the carmine of the liquor bars
a dark and mystic beauty To inner-city girls That by in the velvet of their cars
Through the dance halls and the shopping And the filled with Dresden dolls To the school of angels on the ground
The whole city's just an expensive A forest nymph with a But ain't no woman around
No, there ain't no around No, there no woman around Well, I'm surrounded by these But just ain't no woman around
And the girl that my bed Will hear the I should've said To the only true love I found
I'll pretend that make-up in her Is a day-dream, not a That just to kick me down I can still taste the of her kiss
Maybe it's the childhood I missed The first time around there's a weird shape to her There's a meat on her arms But there ain't no woman
No, there ain't no around No, there ain't no woman Well, I'm surrounded by these But there just no woman around
Sometimes I feel I'm Like a through the night And I've run straight into the ground
I miss your smile, your And your breath on my And I'm and alone in this crowd
From the locks and and strings of pearls To the drunk and eager, girls It's an all-day floor show in town And it suddenly occurs that I'm surrounded by girls But there ain't no around
No, there ain't no around No, ain't no woman around Well, I'm surrounded by girls But there just no woman around
