cigarettes and chocolate milk

these are just a couple of my cravings

everything it seems i like's a little bit stronger

a little bit thicker

a little bit harmful for me



if i should buy jellybeans

have to eat them all in just one sitting

everything it seems i like's a little bit sweeter

a little bit fatter

a little bit harmful for me



and then there's those other things

which for several reasons we won't mention

everything about them is a little bit stranger

a little bit harder

a little bit deadly



it isn't very smart

tends to make one part so broken-hearted



sitting here remembering me

always been a shoe made for the city

go ahead, accuse me of just singing about places

with scrappy boys faces

have general run of the town

playing with prodigal songs

takes a lot of sentimental valiums

can't expect the world to be your raggedy andy

while running on empty

you little old doll with a frown



you got to keep in the game

maintaining mystique while facing forward

i suggest a reading of 'a lesson in tightropes'

or 'surfing your high hopes' or 'adios kansas'



it isn't very smart

tends to make one part so broken-hearted



still there's not a show on my back

holes or a friendly intervention

i'm just a little bit heiress, a little bit irish

a little bit tower of pisa whenever i see you

so please be kind if i'm a mess
