On the streets and the avenues In the condos white as knuckles With the of the busy liquor bars
There's a dark and mystic To these inner-city That slide by in the velvet of cars
Through the halls and the shopping malls And the filled with Dresden dolls To the of fallen angels on the ground
The whole city's just an whore A forest nymph a pompadour But ain't no woman around
No, there ain't no around No, ain't no woman around Well, I'm surrounded by girls But just ain't no woman around
And the girl fills my bed Will hear the words I said To the only true love I ever
pretend that make-up in her purse Is a day-dream, not a That comes just to me down I can still taste the youth of her
Maybe it's the childhood that I The first time around there's a weird shape to her There's a strange meat on her But there ain't no around
No, there ain't no woman No, there ain't no around Well, I'm surrounded by girls But just ain't no woman around
Sometimes I I'm running Like a through the night And I've run straight into the ground
I miss your smile, name And breath on my skin And I'm lost and in this crowd
From the locks and curls and of pearls To the drunk and eager, jelly It's an all-day 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 around Well, I'm surrounded by these But just ain't no woman around
