Devotchka Queen Of The Surface Streets

Well this is one place where



Your gods cant dwell



Its like walking in



To the mouth of hell



Sweating our dignities out on the subway



At the beginning of another long, long day







As for my mortal remains



I couldnt care



Cause when the day is done



Shell be waiting here



Thats when I love the accommodations



In a urine smelling transit station







Ill move these rocks



For you my love



I will tear them up out of the Earth



And I will bend my spine



Til its quitting time



Cause I know what your time is worth







And Ill give my days to the Neanderthals



With the classic rock



And the wrecking ball



Ill go swimming in the wet concrete



And Ill cast my pearls at the unpaved streets







I dont mind the mental atrophy



Cause when the lids come down, youre all I see



Youre like a lovely hallucination



You get me through my current occupation







Ill move these rocks



For you my love



I will tear them up out of the Earth



And I will bend my spine



Til its quitting time



Cause I know what your time is worth







See Im towering



Above mortal men



Ill emerge from the darkness



And there you stand



Youre the Queen of all the surface streets



Im a wiener boy, that youre here to meet







I dont need the money



I couldnt 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



Youll 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 its quitting time



Cause I know what your love is worth







What your love is worth



What your love is worth
