Greasy Spoon

Sickly sweet, candied meat in A fragrant greasy spoon Knock back black coffee Working until the afternoon She hardly sleeps She hardly eats She hardly breathes When you're in her breathing space Cat calling white van patrolling The streets as she walks from work Rip hard and jeer from a far As he sits with a drooling smirk She hardly sleeps She hardly eats She hardly breathes When you're in her breathing space She brushes it off Like she always does Drops through the subway Disappears with the flood I am a woman And I am a woman I am a woman I am a woman She comes over I hear her moan The walls are paper thin His friends come round, they pass her round Her head goes round the bend She hardly sleeps She hardly eats She hardly breathes When you're in her breathing space She brushes it off Like she always does Puts on her makeup Faces the day As she hardly sleeps She hardly eats She hardly breathes When you're in her breathing space I am a woman And I am a woman I am a woman And I am a woman And I am your mother I am your sister And I am your daughter I am a woman
