We had our neighborhood girl |
|
She used to hang out, in front of |
|
McKinsey's |
|
BarAnd we were interested in her and her clientele |
|
We just wonder where she's gone |
|
Oh she's gone? |
|
Yes, she's gone, gone, gone |
|
Yes, she's gone, gone, gone |
|
I think I you know your neighborhood girl |
|
She lives on my street, now with eyes of ice |
|
I've seen her in the morning when she is walking in the sun |
|
And I always thought that she looked kind of nice |
|
She spoke to me once at a party, |
|
I thinkAnd |
|
I thought at the time that she had had too much to drink |
|
Because she said to me, "There's a backbone goneAnd I've got to get it back before going on" |
|
Well your neighborhood girl, she seems to have resigned |
|
She was looking out at people from the back of her mind |
|
And before she went off, she spoke to me again |
|
She came up and said"You have the eyes of a friendAnd there's a razor's edge that I have lost somewhereAnd I would like it back so if you've seen it anywhereI've been out for a while but I'll be back in a bitI am just walking through the smoke finding out if this is it" |
|
Because I've got this feeling that things are going gray |
|
And I'd like to hear a straight line to help me find my way |
|
I looked at her and |
|
I did not know what to say |
|
She had long black hair |
|
Must be a different neighborhood girl' |
|
Cause ours had blonde hair, in front of |
|
McKinsey's |
|
BarAnd we were interested in her and her clientele |
|
We just wonder where she's gone |
|
Oh she's gone? |
|
Oh she's gone, gone, gone |
|
Yes, she's gone, gone, gone |
