Lyrics
The hot blonde with a blue dress on checking me checking her out from over her vintage pink sunglasses at 8:35pm, Saturday night, 23rd Street, Portland. A walking sexpot straight out of Bukowski’s sordid world. She half turned that fuck-machine body in that painted on baby blue dress and caught me red-handed checking those hips for grips and fucking her hard in my mind… ...and she smiled as she walked away. Walking feet strolling down 23rd Street at 10:15pm. An out-of-towner looking for a friendly smile. They don’t dole those out here in Portland Oregon like Big D does. I walk in silence thru Saturday night couples, missing my woman, my girl, my friendly shadows... my way back home. To snatch a line from Mr. MoJoRison “People are strange when you’re a stranger”. ‘Tis true Lizard King, taking for instance this land-o-port, no one seems pleased to smile at me. Hippie chicks with hippie dicks either not too hip or too hip, anti-hip if you will. But such is the luck of the transplant walker, such is the luck of me. Seedy bar seat 23rd Street, 12:30 am, Saturday night with cops in combat boots and motorcycle tights looking for barroom fights to break up. Don’t look my way officer. You don’t got no trouble with me. This stubble you see is a double of me for the tough guy I was just trying to be. There surely is somebody somewhere here on 23rd getting… Robbed Beaten Raped Stomped Shot Assaulted Insulted Abused Invaded Held-up Held-down Lying Crying Dying Surely you should be tending to they and look past me, writing about you in this corner seat, 23rd Street, Portland
