Album: Night Lights (1975)

  • I see this little girl she's dressed in black
    She's spitting on the stage
    And like some stray cat she arches her back
    She leads the anarchist parade
    She's a poet with street walking rhymes
    They say she's got no shame
    And as she screams about some piss factory
    Her eyes burn with Rimbaud's rage

    Ch baby you got such a way with words
    You got such a way with your hairstyle
    There's only one thing that you do I don't believe
    That's when you smile

    Her T shirt's ripped with a passion
    Her mind's been raped by Rolling Stones
    She keeps her weight down by fasting
    On Jim Morrison's bones
    And when she's good she's a rock dream witch
    With Mac Beth on lead guitar
    Just a ballad of a thin girl
    I really think she's gonna go far

    Oh baby you got such a way with words
    You got such a way with your hairstyle
    There's only one thing that you do don't believe
    That’s when you smile

    She really knows how to get to the heart
    She writes with a stiletto in mind
    She's got just a touch of Bonaparte
    She's lack the Ripper's kind
    Her wounds are open for the sake at art
    She's living right near the edge
    I love to see that kind of power
    Its getting lonely on this ledge

    Oh baby you got such a way with words
    You got such a way with your hair style
    There's only one thing that you do I don't believe
    That's when you smile Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
