Penelope movie - Queen of the Surface Streets lyrics

rate me

Song by Devotchka<br /><br>

Well this is one place where <br>

Your gods can't dwell <br>

It's like walking in <br>

To the mouth of hell <br>

Sweating our dignities out on the subway <br>

At the beginning of another long, long day <br>

<br>

As for my mortal remains <br>

I couldn't care <br>

'Cause when the day is done <br>

She'll be waiting here <br>

That's when I love the accommodations <br>

In a urine smelling transit station <br>

<br>

I'll move these rocks <br>

For you my love <br>

I will tear them up out of the Earth<br>

Song text taken from stlyrics.com<br>

And I will bend my spine <br>

'Til it's quitting time <br>

'Cause I know what your time is worth <br>

<br>

And I'll give my days to the Neanderthals <br>

With the classic rock <br>

And the wrecking ball <br>

I'll go swimming in the wet concrete <br>

And I'll cast my pearls at the unpaved streets <br>

<br>

I don't mind the mental atrophy <br>

'Cause when the lids come down, you're all I see <br>

You're like a lovely hallucination <br>

You get me through my current occupation <br>

<br>

I'll move these rocks <br>

For you my love <br>

I will tear them up out of the Earth <br>

And I will bend my spine <br>

'Til it's quitting time <br>

'Cause I know what your time is worth <br>

<br>

See I'm towering <br>

Above mortal men <br>

I'll emerge from the darkness <br>

And there you stand <br>

You're the Queen of all the surface streets <br>

I'm a wiener boy, that you're here to meet <br>

<br>

I don't need the money <br>

I couldn't care <br>

'Cause everything I want Is standing right here <br>

I would live on the street <br>

In a cardboard shack <br>

Just the worship the feet <br>

And the curve of your back <br>

You'll be my only preoccupation <br>

On a permanent vacation <br>

<br>

Now I will move these rocks <br>

For you my love <br>

I will tear them up out of the Earth <br>

And I will bend my spine <br>

'Til it's quitting time <br>

'Cause I know what your love is worth <br>

<br>

What your love is worth <br>

What your love is worth<br>

<br>
