[00:33.66] Every time I open my mouth
[00:36.72] I take off my clothes
[00:39.72] I'm raw and frostbitten from
[00:42.85] being exposed
[00:45.47] I got red scabby hands
[00:48.47] and purple scabby feet
[00:51.47] And you can smell me coming from
[00:54.85] halfway down the street
[00:57.41] And I remember that old hotel had quite the smell
[01:07.59] where I'd go to use the phone
[01:10.16] Between the donut shop and the pizza parlor
[01:13.40] where I learned to live alone
[01:16.65] Sweet sixteen and smiling
[01:19.53] my way out of any jam
[01:22.78] Learning the ways of the world, oh my
[01:26.28] Learning the ways of man
[01:28.28]
[01:35.17] And I didn't really want a baby
[01:38.42] and I guess I had a choice
[01:41.36] But I just let it grow inside me
[01:44.99] this persistent little voice
[01:47.61] And I guess I got her off and running
[01:50.67] and run off is what she did
[01:53.99] And that's part of what I think about
[01:57.42] think about that kid
[02:04.05]
[02:06.05] now there's So nothing left to wish upon
[02:09.83] except for passing cars
[02:13.27] The cacophony of city lights
[02:16.34] is drowning out the stars
[02:18.90] This park bench is a life boat
[02:21.90] and the rest a big dark sea
[02:25.40] And I'm just gonna lie here until
[02:28.15] something comes and finds me
[02:30.68]
[02:38.49] Yeah I got this tired old face
[02:40.80] still grinning most of the time
[02:43.86] Just 'cause it don't have a better way
[02:46.80] to express what's on it's mind
[02:50.18] And I got this running monologue
[02:53.30] entertaining in it's outrage
[02:56.23] And I've got the air of an animal
[02:59.54] That's been living in a cage
[03:08.43]
[03:16.06] Every time I open my mouth
[03:19.06] I take off my clothes
[03:21.75] I'm raw and frostbitten from
[03:25.13] being exposed
[03:28.06] I got red scabby hands
[03:30.81] and purple scabby feet
[03:33.75] And you can smell me coming from
[03:37.25] halfway down the street
