strangers - kings county queens lyrics

Loading...

old*time jenkins was at the corner
wasting away his sunday morning
waiting for the bars to open their doors
and lead him to salvation

there’s some boys by the secondhand shop
on and off all the goods they’ve got
avoiding the arms of the local cops
who are breaking their probation

i saw wendy on the street again
pulling tricks and selling her skin
pulling up her stockings and doing her lips
i said “wendy, baby, how do you do it?”

she said “i once remembered, now i can’t recall
how i entered this mortal coil
you couldn’t pay me enough to get into it all
but for five bucks i’ll give you a kiss”

and across the street an old man screams
and he’s waving his fists in anger

but you never trust the words of strangers
no one ever trusts the words of strangers
widow turned across the street
avoiding the stares of the eyes she meets
she crosses herself as she starts to speak
to god knows who ’cause no one’s there

check myself as i start to say
“saw your daughter just the other day
and once again she’s in a family way
but if that’s a family, i’m a millionaire”

i heard a preacher talk from his soapbox
about some forgotten manger

but you never trust the words of strangers
no one ever trusts the words of strangers

stepping out of the pharmacy
with a 30*cent poster and a magazine
i saw a local kid hop the methadrine
with a face that says he’ll go anywhere

the street cleaners sweep away the dust
as i turn my head just full of disgust
just enough time to catch the bus
with a fare that’ll take me away from here
and across the street an old man screams
and he’s waving his fists in anger

but you never trust the words of strangers
no one ever trusts the words of strangers
no one ever trusts the words of strangers
no one ever trusts the words of strangers
