Hawksley Workman - Girls On Crutches lyrics

pretty girls are walking around they're walking on crutches barely making a sound they're calling up their boyfriends to come fetch them after work cuz their legs are getting tired from the dancing they've been doing trying to make it in the city and you wanna feel bad for 'em home cook a meal for 'em dial up the mothers who can hardly wait to see 'em going out the door back to college or university supposedly can't see straight I've got spots on my lens I can't look forward only speak in past tense I got being for my purpose but no purpose for being here it's better just to look away when everything is falling down it's falling down in the city when the broken legs are looking pretty the fact of the matter is what's buried under here is you gotta go to school if you want a career you've got to summon up the forces that are there to tie you down you've got to rest that broken leg and just be glad it's not a broken heart in the city cuz a broken heart is never pretty
