One-legged Girl Lyrics

One-legged Girl lyrics

Behind the counter stood on crutches made of wood 



A one-legged girl with blue-grey eyes, warm and wise. 



I fled from that place and from that lovely face 



That the one-legged girl stole my heart and I need help. 



Cold November morning, buried under trees. 



I would stay here all day long except I have to eat. 



Crack the woods, crack them open both with shovels and yells. 



Got to find little people, got to ask for their help. 



And I tell them 



If I could run fast, as fast as the Flash 



Or be as cool as Ash in Army of Darkness. 



If I were a Gai-King or maybe a Viking, 



Stronger than the Thing then I could win the one-legged girl. 



Getting close to nighttime, running out of steam. 



By now I know my family's looking and they'll know right where I'll be. 



Spy the eyes in the twilight, small and bright, warm and wise. 



Little hats, little fingers, and a flask full of wine. 



And I'd tell them 



If my hand were wheels and if my feet were wheels 



Then I could roll over all of my rivals. 



If I could cast a spell or do something swell 



So that she could tell I was worth her attention. 



Arms drag me away. 



The little eyes wink out. 



Stuffed inside my pocket is a flask of wine. 



Now I can run as fast as the Flash 



Or be as cool as Ash in Army of Darkness. 



Now I'll be a Gai-King or maybe a Viking, 



Stronger than the Thing. 



Now I can win the one-legged girl!
