In the good old bad part of this college town Men in business suits they run you down You take their money just like you take mine You send it bubbling down the thin blue line It doesn't matter how it got this way Cause we could make it through this thing together I know you're laughing but I got to say Now I still want you maybe more than ever No foolin' it's a fucked-up world So be cool my little junkie girl The cops are out to shut the district down I comb the ruins of your stomping grounds Stanyan Street looking like the third world war You come up blazing like an open sore Now I believe you but I got to know How come the right side of your brain is hurting So take me with you when you go Through to the white side of your China curtain No foolin' it's a fucked-up world So be cool my little junkie girl In the good old bad part of this college town Men in gray limousines will drive you down You take their money just like you take mine Where does it get you on that thin blue line Now I can hardly hear you anymore Your eyes are empty and your voice is hollow I see you waving from a distant shore And where you're going I don't care to follow No foolin' that's another world Good luck my little junkie girl
