TWO LITTLE GIRLS
you were fresh off the boat
from virginia
i had a year of new york city under my belt
we met in a dream
we were both 19
i remember where we were standing
i remember how it felt
two little girls growing out of their training bras
this little girl breaks furniture
this little girl breaks laws
two little girls
just a little less alone
this little girl
cries wee wee wee all the way home

you were always half crazy
now look at you baby
you make about as much sense
as a nursery rhyme
love is a piano dropped from a four story window
and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time
i don't like your girlfriend
i blame her
never seen one of your lovers do you so much harm
and i loved you first and you know i would prefer
she didn't empty her syringes into your arm

here comes naked little me
padding up to the bathroom door
to find little naked you
slumped on the bathroom floor
so i guess i'll just stand here
with my back against the wall
while you just distill your whole life down to a 911 call

so now you bring me your bruises so i can oh and ah at the display
maybe i'm supposed to make one of my famous jokes that makes everything ok
maybe i'm supposed to be the handsome prince that rides up and unties your hands
or maybe i'm supposed to be the furrow-browed friend that thinks she understands

here comes little naked me
padding up to the bathroom door
to find little naked you
slumped ont he bathroom floor
so i guess i'll just stand here
with my back against the wall
while you jsut distill you whole life down to a 911 call
