On the main streets and the In the condos white as knuckles With the of the busy liquor bars
There's a and mystic beauty To these girls That slide by in the velvet of their
Through the dance and the shopping malls And the subways with Dresden dolls To the of fallen angels on the ground
The whole city's just an expensive A nymph with a pompadour But there ain't no woman
No, there ain't no around No, there no woman around Well, I'm by these girls But there just ain't no woman
And the girl that my bed hear the words I should've said To the only love I ever found
pretend that make-up in her purse Is a day-dream, not a That just to kick me down I can taste the youth of her kiss
it's the childhood that I missed The first time around a weird shape to her charms There's a strange on her arms But there no woman around
No, there no woman around No, ain't no woman around Well, I'm surrounded by girls But there just ain't no woman
I feel I'm running Like a fever through the And I've run myself straight the ground
I miss your smile, name And breath on my skin And I'm lost and alone in crowd
the locks and curls and strings of pearls To the and eager, jelly girls It's an floor show Matinee in town And it suddenly occurs I'm surrounded by these girls But there no woman around
No, ain't no woman around No, ain't no woman around Well, I'm by these girls But just ain't no woman around
