Geoff Baker - Girl from Kinnelon lyrics

rate me

There was nothing sane and sound

About the night we closed the Idiot down

With boys from all the boroughs playing grab-ass between each round

But when we’re bridge and tunnel, what do we do?

We stood on 14th St. and watched the sky get blue

And a Morris County girl told the story of her rose tattoo

Already wide awake

Already fighting sleep

Thirty blocks thinking about this girl from Kinnelon

All the way to Chambers St.

When she’s on a 19-gram weekend

When you’re 19 everything still makes sense

And a pretty girl is never long and hard on making carrying friends

But when you’re out and on, what can I do?

I lie awake all night and watch the sky get blue

And clouds as soft as cotton or the skin under your rose tattoo

Wired sick with worry

Wired sick with want

Up the street and back thinking about this girl from Kinnelon

And wondering where she’s breaking dawn

But when my head’s still ringing from you,

What can I do? When you don’t call when you say you mean to

When I’m back in California writing songs about your rose tattoo

Wired all the way to north Jersey

Wired all the way from L.A.

Hit the interstate thinking about this girl from Kinnelon

And hoping everything is okay

<br />
