On the main and the avenues In the condos as knuckles bruised the carmine of the busy liquor bars
There's a dark and beauty To these girls slide 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 nymph with a pompadour But ain't no woman around
No, there ain't no around No, there no woman around Well, I'm surrounded by these But there just ain't no around
And the girl that my bed Will hear the words I should've To the only love I ever found
I'll that make-up in her purse Is a day-dream, not a That comes just to kick me I can still taste the of her kiss
Maybe the childhood that I missed The first time around there's a weird to her charms There's a meat on her arms But there ain't no around
No, there ain't no woman No, there ain't no around Well, I'm surrounded by these But there ain't no woman around
I feel I'm running Like a fever through the And I've run myself straight into the
I miss smile, your name And your on my skin And I'm and alone in this crowd
From the and curls and strings of pearls To the drunk and eager, girls an all-day floor show Matinee in town And it suddenly occurs that I'm surrounded by girls But ain't no woman around
No, there no woman around No, there no woman around Well, I'm by these girls But there just ain't no woman
