Lyrics
Covered the window with a sheet
Looking out on the street and the side
The little kids were still complete but fractional faults
Are supposed to keep them in line
He rented a room and back to bed
Happened to tell me that you want me to call
But you never wanted just to rent
Speaking in southerner drawl
have you seen her?
have you seen her? have you seen her?
the figurine seems so white
let me come in on the second flight
on my way downtown to meet the girl
i sleep next to now every night
she doesn’t acknowledge work classics
she doesn’t listen to a non-woman tape
her face is simple excellence
and it’s always changing shape
have you seen her? have you seen her?
have you seen her? have you seen her?
i miss her.. i miss her.. i miss her.. i miss her..
i’m over them now.. i’m over them now.. i’m over them now.. all over it now.
i’ve got acid in my teeth
i’ve got acid and i’m not gonna wait
‘cause every minute’s been shot up
full of yesterday’s muted hate
i saw you just plain forget
i saw you remember and cry
the time that you didn’t give a shit
the time you did but i didn’t know why
i saw you come right in hotel dale
looking for somebody to score
i saw you in kingsboro with some clown
but i couldn’t stand to see you anymore
i’ve been meaning to tell you i’m all over it now
man, i’ve been meaning to tell you i’m all over it now
have you seen her? have you seen her?
have you seen her? have you seen her?
i miss her.. i miss her.. i miss her..
