I Remember One Young Sister With Rainbows In Her Eyes
Standing On A Corner With The Afternoon′s Supply
She Spoke Of Other Places, Perhaps A Better RoadThen She Asked If I Could Tell Her
Where They Kept The Mother Load

Like A Night This Side Of Dying
Her Day's Inside The Dropper On The Shelf
When She Hears Her Lifeline Crying
Not A Thing You Say Can Stop Her
When She Just Can′t Stop Herself

I Remember That July, The Panic And The Heat
The Savage Shine Of Summer, The Strychnine In The Street
The Way That Sold Each Other For A Favour In Glassine
The Best Of Friends Sold Brothers
For A Dime Of Quinine Dreams

Like A Night This Side Of Dying
Her Day's Inside The Dropper On The Shelf
Like The Shelter She's Been Buying
Not A Thing I′ve Got Can Save Her
When She Just Can′t Save Herself
She Just Can't Save Herself
