Still Here Lyrics

The world's a cracked walnut

The meat's all gone

And only the rind

Keeps spinning on

Breathes smoke like dragons

Smooths her dress

One must try not

To leave a mess

She gets her bags

Collects her stench

And drags it all

To the bus stop bench

Still

Here

Still here

No gentleman caller

Will ask her name

Her filthy frock

Must be to blame

She could be sixty

Or eighty-five

She's an older gal

And still alive

But in her mind

She's a winsome lass

That's left behind

Among broken glass

Still

Here

Still here

She's always behaved herself

She's never asked for help

She's always behaved herself

(She's always behaved herself)

She's never asked for help

(She's never asked for help)

Still

Here

Still here

A young man of twenty

With nervous eye

Waits for the bus

And asks her, "hi"

He's a gentleman caller

A rose in hand

A man such as he

Would understand

She goes to talk

But words pour out

He boards the bus

To kill her shout

Still

Here

Still here

Still

Here

Still here

Still

Here

Still here

Still

Here

Still here
