bill morrissey - canal street lyrics

[verse 1]
well, if you’re down on c+n+l street
you can hear the whistle blow
and if you’re down on c+n+l street
you got nowhere to go
n0body comes down here
without a string of alibis
except that hoopi shoopi girl
with springfield in her eyes

[verse 2]
and down here the sun sets earlier
than anywhere in town
and the red bricks from the woolen mill
just draw the cold up from the ground
well, it’s always winter here
summer’s just a word you memorize
while you watch that hoopi shoopi girl
with springfield in her eyes

[verse 3]
she got a laugh like a memory
she got a smile like a bruise
and it’s not like she would talk to me
it’s not like she would refuse
and the office girls scream angrily
she’s only the disguise
of a hoopi shoopi girl
with springfield in her eyes
[verse 4]
well, i’ve seen her play accordion
at the early morning mass
and no one can say where she has been
or how long on this street she might last
still she walks with asylum
underneath these darkened skies
just a hoopi shoopi girl
with springfield in her eyes

[guitar solo]

[verse 5]
well, i punch out as the snow falls
let the second shift begin
and i go back to my four walls
lie down and take my rest again
and when the fever comes upon me
it’s never a surprise
to see that hoopi shoopi girl
with springfield in her eyes
