The Asphalt World

[Verse 1]

I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world

She comes to me, I supply her with ecstasy

Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city

Like big stars in the back seat, like skeletons, ever so pretty

I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world

[Chorus]

But where does she go and what does she do?

And how does she feel when she's next to you?

And who does she love in her time honoured fur?

Is it me or her?

[Verse 2]

I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world

She's got a friend, they share mascara, I pretend

Sometimes they fly from the covers to the winter of the river

For these silent stars of the cinema, it's in the bloodstream, it's in the liver

I know a girl, she walks the arse-felt world

[Chorus]

But where does she go and what does she do?

And how does she feel when she's next to you?

And who does she love in her time honoured fur?

Is it me or her?

With ice in her blood and a dove in her head

Well, how does she feel when she's in your bed?

When you're there in her arms and there in her legs

Well, I'll be in her head

'Cause that's where I go and that's what I do

And that's how it feels when the sex turns cruel

Yes, both of us need her, this is the asphalt world

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

With ice in her blood and a dove in her head

Well, how does she feel when she's in your bed?

When you're there in her arms and there in her legs

Well, I'll be in her head

'Cause that's where I go and that's what I do

And that's how it feels when the sex turns cruel

Yes, both of us need her, this is the asphalt world
