She had a face like a cook I'd seen in the kitchen of the Anchor Hotel See her in the city virgin She's friendly and you know her well A thousand-odd broken stallions Still very quick on the beat Full-size, the buffet begs before them All you can eat I'm drawing up a plan for the city Filled with ten thousand crooked stairs Some lead up to heaven Some look through you like you're not even there Could it be that I'll see her When I cut across the park Walking along with her hound? When I look at myself in the shower I wonder if she'll see what I see
And will she like what she has found I rolled out from under the engine And I saw her standing there I knew right then that I could love her forever Even when her breasts are rotted with cancer I wonder where she went when she said go A sailor has to masturbate until the ship lands A lot of things happen out on the open sea I'm gonna sell Arizona to Japan I'm drawing up a plan for the city Filled with ten thousand crooked stares Some lead up to heaven Some look through you like you're not even there
