Poor Baby Lyrics by Erich Hoch

The Paranoid Bolshevik

0

The park is prettier in the snow
But you wanna swim in the canal
How now?
And you hate the exorcist steps
They’re always slippery and you’re gasping
And rasping
But you have been here before
You’ve been all around this town
And you have seen it before
You’ve seen every road, you know
But you’ve never gone skating in the harbor
Poor baby
You don’t drink and you don’t do drugs
And they all say that you’re no fun
And you’re getting hungry now
But you spent your money on a trench coat
Oh no
And the key bridge is too damn long
The river’s rough and it’s too windy
So fucking windy
But you have been here before
You’ve been all around this town
And you have seen it before
You’ve seen every road, you know
But you’ve never been down by the water
Poor baby
You don’t drink and you don’t do drugs
And they all say that you’re no fun
Poor baby
You don’t have sex and you don’t make love
But you’d like to you just can’t find no one
Why you gotta be so sad?
Poor baby!
Why you gotta be so sad?
Poor baby!
You’ve got a stain on your hand
From when you fell down a well
And you don’t want to stand
Your legs are tired as hell
You’ve got tears in your eyes
Because it’s all so much
Yes you’ve got tears on your shoes
Because it’s too damn much
And you have been here before
You’ve been all around this town
And you have seen it before
You’ve seen every street you know
But you’ve never been skating in the harbor
Poor baby
