Jill Sobule - Perry Street lyrics
Your rating:
She once stole a paperback She found a gay lord's drugs She was too ashamed to buy it what would the clerk think of her so she put it in her overcoat and had a bite to eat with the whole book in her pocket she couldn't wait to read she's goin' down she's goin' down town to Perry Street she's goin' down she's goin' way down to Perry Street Small room in a tiny town she made sure they were asleep she read about the wicked girls who live on Perry Street which was down in Greenwich Village it was 1963 it was more than she imagined it could ever be she's goin' down she's goin' down town to Perry Street she's goin' down she's goin' way down to Perry Street Page 45 she has her first kiss Page 68 she's almost there she's almost there She pulled into the station With her suitcase in both hands Her heart pounding louder than the pomington grass band And the stars are from the ceiling Shine down as in a dream She hails her first cab ever she goes down to Perry Street she's goin' down she's goin' down town to Perry Street she's goin' down she's goin' way down, yeah she's goin' down she's goin' way down to Perry Street
