Poor Things Lyrics

The song Poor Things is performed by The Boggs in the album named Forts in the year 2007 .



Poor things moving from the bedroom to the kitchen through

the cold hallway. Brief excursions from the bed, she said,

"I slept today. I didn't dream. I slept today. I didn't dream."

Quater past, and from the ladder,

"i.." Twilight on midnight and here again.

"When after all, who now believes..."

"When after all who now? Hey-hey, I slept today, I didn't

dream, I heard cars pa*s by. The ordinary kept me in bed."

The telephone rings.

"hey?"

"hey"

Outbursts. Nobody.

"No! I nevere knew!" The chortle of cars as they pa*s by.

"Pahleeeze let me go too? Maybe we could..."

Fingers make there way to... "Hey-hey!"

She shuts her wide mouth and wonders,

"Why? Fix myself or sometime or..."

"Try."

The black olive of her eyes looks on a great gathering of the

ordinary. Windswept streets and curling leaves,

"leaves less than to be desired."

They curl between the nethers and...

"Shed your..." Straighten. Swallow. Stand.

"Somewhere I hear..."

"Hey-hey!"

The neighbores come through the wall.

The closing of the downstairs door.
