Poor Boy Lyrics

A truck parked this morning- outside the groc'ry store
Friends face the future- they're wearin' summer clothes

Great cosmic forces- like fallin' dominoes
I love talking funny- it's the only song I know
Sweet smart and s**y- the day my life began
Burnt out and damaged- I dragged my body home

This slice is runny- it's dripping down my clothes
Flies stick to honey- it's the only game they know

Chant 1:
Poor Boy-I walk into the river in my hat and shoes
Poor Boy-I'm sittin at the table with a knife and spoon
Life fast die happy- don't let your panties show
I trust market forces- it's the only song I know

Bridge:
So come and rock my soul- where sin and sorry lie
White horses carry me- unto the other side

Chant 2:
Poor Boy-I'm livin in a country where my thoughts are cold
Poor Boy-I'm waitin for the harvest of the seeds I sow
Bridge 2:
a flower in the night- with thoughts of days gone
I've got to ring that bell- and I'll be satisfied

Chant 3:
Poor Boy- I'm wearin silver slippers and a long white gown
Poor boy- I picture un my mind the day the walls come down

Chant 4:
Poor Boy- I'm livn in a country where I'm never free
Poor Boy- I'm writing down the names of all the things I see-
