"Arlington Girl" lyrics

Arlington Girl

She does raindances
When she's feeling dry
North train track woman
Got her arms in the sky
And she's moving to Arlington
As soon as she can
She got blood in her eye
Stones in her sky
And she walks like a man

Arlington girl
Arlington girl
She says
She does
Does all she pleases
Dancing on tomb stones
Black dirt and old bones
Some say
That she's hanging
Just waiting around
For Jesus

She does raindances
And she knows the score
All the back alley banjo boys
Lie down and die on the floor
Sewing stories for Romans
On yellows and blues
Expensive suites
And dirty teeth
There sand in her shoes

Arlington girl
Oh, Arlington girl
She says
She does
Does all she pleases
Now she's dancing on tomb stones
Black dirt and old bones
Some say
That she's hanging
Just waiting around
For Jesus

Insatiable sins
Sometimes they turn out all right
But only cursed girls
Have this blessing of foresight

So to stop herself
From going insane
She rinses her soul off
Down in the cold
Blue rain
