story behind the song: never heard the first name Allie before. so there ya go
Lyrics
seems to be there's always something left unsaid
in backstreets and alleys, rivers and undead
seems to be that time forgets its lines
wrinkling like pavement's mummified decline
saw her out on richmond just before the tracks
heading into midnight when someone had to ask
why she looks so beautiful and baby what's your name
she just smiled, said Allie, as she left the place
mastering that artistry of trying not to think
of muses and pretty things and i need another drink
belieing good intentions with sixteen ounces of too far
studiously staring at the woman beyond the bar
why you look so beautiful and baby what's your name
you just laughed and shook your head, a smile upon your face
saw her out on richmond just before the tracks
heading into midnight when someone had to ask
why she looks so beautiful and baby what's your name
she just smiled, said Allie, as she left the place
why you look so beautiful and baby what's your name
you just laughed and shook your head, a smile upon your face
a smile upon your face
a smile upon your face
