Del Water Gap - Skinny Girls lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Lord, don’t let me wake at night

Picturin' the hands that might be holdin' her

Though we’re far past burned

I left her for to grow up in

The burned out hole, the skeleton

Of our parents debt, that this city kept

(Short Chorus)

But please don’t let me think of that

Please don’t let me think of it

(Verse 2)

I’ve wrote songs for skinny girls

Who couldn’t bare to let me hurl

My soul to them

And stick to plans

U start with one and end with three

It’s all for fun until it’s bad to me

And I lose my grip, and I fall in it

(Chorus)

But please don’t let me think of that

Please don’t let me think of it

Please don’t let me think of that

Please don’t let me think of it

(Verse 3)

Carola told me on Lexington

'Baby, when you’re older u can have me then'

'I’ll still want u luv, when u lose ur touch'

'Smokin' reds, I had her on my back'

I think of then and I imagine that

I should have kissed

Those famous hips

I’d scream, 'Promise me this ain’t all for dead'

'Did I waste ur time, pullin' thread by thread?'

Yeah, that stuff is cash & u lose it fast

(Chorus)
