Jordan Zevon - This Girl lyrics

I've got the world on a string I keep it wrapped around my neck Living on the street of dreams Just got my notice to evict These days I only see the sunset through my rearview mirror And the objects of my life are further than they once appeared But there's this girl, there's this girl There's this girl, there's this girl This girl who guides me through the pain And puts me on my feet again There's this girl, there's this girl, there's this girl Seems like I've been having one of those days Since sometime back in 1998 And a turnaround is surely on the way Or maybe that's me spinning down the drain And I suppose my woes are only momentary stains Just one foot in the door and all my worries wash away 'Cause there's this girl, there's this girl There's this girl, there's this girl This girl's my private Avalon An island miles from all that's wrong There's this girl, there's this girl, there's this girl There's this girl The rescue from the pessimist avalanche There's this girl Who loves her bitter victim of circumstance 'Cause there's this girl, there's this girl There's this girl, there's this girl This girl whose eyes can light my way Through the haze that fills my day There's this girl, there's this girl, there's this girl
