devotchka - queen of the surface streets lyrics
well this is one place where
your gods can’t dwell
it’s like walking in
to the mouth of h-ll
sweating our dignities out on the subway
at the beginning of another long, long day
as for my mortal remains
i couldn’t care
’cause when the day is done
she’ll be waiting here
that’s when i love the accommodations
in a urine smelling transit station
i’ll move these rocks
for you my love
i will tear them up out of the earth
and i will bend my spine
’til it’s quitting time
’cause i know what your time is worth
and i’ll give my days to the neanderthals
with the cl-ssic rock
and the wrecking ball
i’ll go swimming in the wet concrete
and i’ll cast my pearls at the unpaved streets
i don’t mind the mental atrophy
’cause when the lids come down, you’re all i see
you’re like a lovely hallucination
you get me through my current occupation
i’ll move these rocks
for you my love
i will tear them up out of the earth
and i will bend my spine
’til it’s quitting time
’cause i know what your time is worth
see i’m towering
above mortal men
i’ll emerge from the darkness
and there you stand
you’re the queen of all the surface streets
i’m a wiener boy, that you’re here to meet
i don’t need the money
i couldn’t care
’cause everything i want is standing right here
i would live on the street
in a cardboard shack
just the worship the feet
and the curve of your back
you’ll be my only preoccupation
on a permanent vacation
now i will move these rocks
for you my love
i will tear them up out of the earth
and i will bend my spine
’til it’s quitting time
’cause i know what your love is worth
what your love is worth
what your love is worth
