Miss Nobody
I was walkin' 'round MacArthur Park
It was late night and the streetlights sprayed the dark
She was huddled down
By a Kmart cart
With a black eye and a shadow 'cross her heart
She'd been waitin' around for a better god
But most nights he didn't show up when he should
She gripped a cup and lit one up
in the summer heat
"Hey mister, listen good"
She said:
"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
But I'm doing fine
I don't miss nobody
I'm on my own all night
And if you are somebody
Someone with sympathy
Just sit down here beside me
Your soul could set me free
Your soul could set me free"
Broken friends inside her head
People rarely plan their demolition
Bleached out in the sun again
then bleeding nights
when funds are insufficient
She keep holdin' on
until the dawn
But never lose the fortitude and grace
And when she smile, she come alive
and golden days illuminate her face
She said:
"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
But I'm doing fine
I don't miss nobody
I'm on my own all night
And if you are somebody
Someone with sympathy
Just sit down here beside me
Your soul could set me free
Your soul could set me free"
Sometimes life can be so beautiful
Sometimes life can be so magical
Sometimes life can take the wrong turn
and you turn up here
She said:
"Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
But I'm doing fine
I don't miss nobody
I'm on my own all night
And if you are somebody
Someone with sympathy
Just sit down here beside me
Your soul could set me free
Your soul could set me free"
