summer night on south laurel street
nobody's vacant, complacent or drunk
i walk from my house to the whore's house and i see you laying there
half-naked and high
and you told me to stay for a little while
and I asked you how much to pay and you said it was free this time
your teeth are white and mine are yellow but it doesn't matter though, i guess i'm beautiful in my own way laying on the yellow bed with you at this house thinking about the girls at school who were just like you
And then I think about the girls out there who might be pretty and do their own hair and don't wear high heels or are gorgeous I mean who the fuck wants to be gorgeous if all you are is a whore for new shoes
summer night on south laurel street, somebody's vacant, complacent, and drunk and it's not me, not this time, anyway
she comes back to my house and we kiss over wine and I take her to my room and we're doing just fine until I wake up and realize my watch is gone; yeah a whole lot of other things are gone, too
I still remember her white teeth and the way she looked at me, like she was crazy about me, somehow I don't feel used
