Queen Of The Surface Streets Lyrics - Devotchkas

Well this is one place where 

Your gods can't dwell 

It's like walking in 

To the mouth of hell 

Sweating our dignities out on the subway 

At the beginning of another long, long day 

As for my mortal remains 

I couldn't care 

'Cause when the day is done 

She'll be waiting here 

That's when I love the accommodations 

In a urine smelling transit station 

I'll move these rocks 

For you my love 

I will tear them up out of the Earth 

And I will bend my spine 

'Til it's quitting time 

'Cause I know what your time is worth 

And I'll give my days to the Neanderthals 

With the classic rock 

And the wrecking ball 

I'll go swimming in the wet concrete 

And I'll cast my pearls at the unpaved streets 

I don't mind the mental atrophy 

'Cause when the lids come down, you're all I see 

You're like a lovely hallucination 

You get me through my current occupation 

I'll move these rocks 

For you my love 

I will tear them up out of the Earth 

And I will bend my spine 

'Til it's quitting time 

'Cause I know what your time is worth 

See I'm towering 

Above mortal men 

I'll emerge from the darkness 

And there you stand 

You're the Queen of all the surface streets 

I'm a wiener boy, that you're here to meet 

I don't need the money 

I couldn't care 

'Cause everything I want Is standing right here 

I would live on the street 

In a cardboard shack 

Just to worship your feet 

And the curve of your back 

You'll be my only preoccupation 

On a permanent vacation 

Now I will move these rocks 

For you my love 

I will tear them up out of the Earth 

And I will bend my spine 

'Til it's quitting time 

'Cause I know what your love is worth 

What your love is worth 

What your love is worth
