Pipe Dreaming Lyrics by Matt Minigell

Pipe Dreaming

2018

She was wild, she was free
With a leather jacket and a rosary
And a tattoo of Charles Bukowski
For good luck from a bad man
With happy hour gleaming in her eyes, she gets so sick and tired
Of scheming for a game she just can't win
She's leaving the city again
She rolled the dice, bet a horse
Lost her faith in the Universe
And sorrow came twisted and heartless
And spun its webs through her chest
So if you lay down on the bench
With curbside Christs and dissidents
Count your vowels and consonants
Cause someone will steal them away
She's leaving the city today
But I don't mind it
When I'm at my best
And if I don't see morning come around again
I could be happy here
I could be happy here
She danced her last in a small flat
With Kafka drowning in the bath
And the ramblings of prophets and paupers
For sale on 30th Street
Shot her arms with poison paint
Till she was out of art to make
And lay down at the stony feet of the Spirit of Transportation
She's leaving the city before it takes her
But I don't mind it
When I'm at my best
And if I don't see morning come around again
I could be happy here
I could be happy here
