Star Witness

My true love drowned in a dirty old pan
Of oil that did run from the block
Of a Falcon sedan 1969
The paper said '75
There were no survivors
None found alive

Trees break the sidewalk
And the sidewalk skins my knees
There's glass in my thermos and blood on my jeans
Nickels and dimes of the Fourth of July
Roll off in a crooked line
To the chain-link lots where the red tails dive
Oh, how I forgot what it's like

Hey, when she sings, when she sings when she sings like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey, when she moves, when she moves when she moves like she runs
Moves like she runs

Hey there, there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight
'Round the town tonight
Hey there, there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight
'Round the town tonight

Hey pretty baby, get high with me
We can go to my sister's if we say we'll watch the baby
Look on your face yanks my neck on the chain
And I would do anything (I would do anything)
To see you again
So I've fallen behind

Hey, when she sings, when she sings when she sings like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey, when she moves, when she moves when she moves like she runs (hey there, there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight)
Moves like she runs ('round the town tonight)

Hey there, there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight
'Round the town tonight
Hey there, there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight
'Round the town tonight

Go on, go on scream and cry
You're miles from where anyone will find you
This is nothing new, no television crew
They don't even put on the sirens
My nightgown sweeps the pavement
Please, don't let him die

Oh, how I forgot
