What Jail Is Like

Afghan Whigs What Jail Is Like Lyrics
1.Little Girl Blue

Sit back and count your fingers
What else is there to do?
Oh honey i know how you feel
I know you feel like you're through
Sit back, count, count your little fingers
My unhappy, little, little girl

Sit back
Gonna count those raindrops
Feel it falling down all around you
Honey don't you know it's time somebody told you
Cause you got to know
All you ever gonna have to count on
I'm gonna want to lean on
It's gonna feel just like those raindrop do
When they're falling down
Baby, all around you
Well i know you're unhappy

Now you sit back
Gonna count your little fingers
What else do you have to do?
And i know how you feel
And i know you ain't got no reason to go on
And i know you feel like you must be dreaming
Honey go back and sit right back down
I want you to count on me
My unhappy, my unlucky, and my little, little girl
I know you're unhappy baby
Honey i know


2.Mr. Superlove

The storm was blowing from the south
The blood was running from your mouth
Glass was shattered on the floor
A hundred pieces maybe more
I remember you were crying
Just befoere you sent it flying
Silent sounding pounding on my floor

You may not believe me, baby, when i tell you that i am mr.
superlove
You may not believe me, baby, when i tell you that i am mr.
superlove
Falling out (falling out)
Falling out (falling out)
Falling out (falling out)
We had a falling-out

Clothes were lying on the chair
Your face was hidden by your hair
All that i could think of then was
What it must have felt like when you
Were lying naked headlong down the stairs

You may not believe me, baby, when i tell you that i am mr.
superlove
You may not believe me, baby, when i tell you that i am mr.
superlove
You may not believe me, baby, when i tell you that i am mr.
superlove
You may not believe me, baby, when i tell you that i am mr.
superlove
Falling out (falling out)
Falling out (falling out)
Falling out (falling out)
We had a falling-out


3.My World Is Empty Without You/i Hear A Symphony

My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
And as i roam my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strength, i need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear, i miss so much
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, baby

You've given me a true love
And every day i thank you, love
For the feeling that's so new
So exciting so inviting
Baby, baby, i hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pushing me closer and closer to your heart
Then suddenly
Your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine
Til i leave my past behind

My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
From this cold world i try to hide my face
But from this loneliness there ain't no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house i dwell
In darkness, in memory i know so well
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you babe without you babe...

5.The Dark End Of The Street

At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me

I know time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for what we stole
It's a sin, and we know it's wrong
But our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street

And when the daylight hour rolls around
If by chance we should walk downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Ooooh darling, please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street
You and me

They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
Oooooh, some day
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me


6.What Jail Is Like

I'll warn you, if cornered, i'll scratch my way out of the pen
Wired, an animal
The claustrophobia begins
You think i'm scared of girls
Well maybe
But i'm not afraid of you
You want to scare me then you'll cling to me no matter what i do
Tell you a secret
They shared a needle once or twice
I loved her, she loved me
We slept together a couple of times
You think i'm proud of this
Well maybe
But the shame you never lose
Infatuated with a lunatic and cornered by the muse
And it goes down every night
This must be what jail is really like
And i will scratch my way out of this pen, again

Lonely?
Maybe
Or maybe not
It all depends
Your ideal, your image
Your definition of a friend
If what you're shoveling is company
Then i'd rather be alone
Resentment always goes much further than it was supposed to go
