Terrea Lyrics

Terrea

Black eyed angel of the dark

How you gonna find another spark

Terrea

Spanish rhythm in you veins

What you gonna do if it rains

With your shopping cart full of memories and dust upon your lips

There's always somebody you can't please when you work for food and tips

Terrea

Tortured goddess of the street

Wearing leather work shoes on your feet

Terrea

I wish we'd met when we were young

I could have charmed you with the wisdom on my tongue

Terrea

I used to walk that lonesome mile

Is it true that you are putting me on trial

With your soft seductive whisper and your cynical knowing stare

The limp that you've developed and those faded ribbons in your hair

Terrea

Moistened beauty, tender child

How'd you lose that soft seductive style

I got a feeling that when you were younger you used to drive the boys insane

Lead them to the edges of scented ecstasy and pain

They would try to tear your heart out to no avail, it was locked away

They'd wake up from hollow nightmares and scream your name in just this way

Terrea

I feel forsaken and alone

How come you won't let me take you home.

Terrea

In the cold October wind

I ain't got any money you can spend

Terrea

Tattered intersection muse

A coffee can, a cardboard sign, and the blues

Money for food and shelter, is that all you're asking for

Too proud to be on welfare, too old to be a whore

Terrea

The light is turning green

So long until tomorrow, ancient queen
