What Was He Wearing? Lyrics

What Was He Wearing? lyrics

What was he wearing?

What was I doing?



That bittersweet feeling that l was doing something right

And l drive and l think

That you are the most beautiful woman I know



Of course, l remember that

You are ten thousand miles away

This does not comfort me

This does nothing to my soul, my soul



I've tried drinking of late

And smoking dope for about two weeks straight

Today l was knowing that it was over

Perhaps things have just run its course



Perhaps l'm just tired of it

But now l see things a bit clearer

I saw an aging hippie walkin' with several jugs of sunshine water

I saw a black and white cat get out of my car



And l called to her and she meowed to me

And cautiously l moved toward her

And as she moved away this was her kitty



This time l turned and forced my key into the lock

Dammit, l forgot the cigarettes again

And l hoped to return home from the big night on the town

But now l have to go out into the night



And down the street through the Zanie's parking lot

And get in line at the scot

And mumble my request and stare at strangers

And wish that l just could have remembered, damn, damn
