My perfume is the river And my moneys my liver The bus ride homes forever, stuck behind the old Street sweeper And I'm thinking in slow motion Like an old piano playing I can curse him it won't bring him lying quiet by my side And I'm tired I'm foolish Town small and my love is useless If it don't work on him If it don't work on him Streetlight heads are hanging And my feet won't still for itching Old roads I'm used to taking Led me straight tonight for fiction The bum lies out the shop keep while he's putting out a trash fire There's a sale that runs midseasons sign says everything must go And I'm tired. I'm foolish. Town small and my love is useless If it don't work on him. If it don't work on him.
