[Tunnel Girl]
For anyone listening
The last wishers wishing
And squatters who've still got some gin

I’m recording today
From beneath the subway
If anyone out there’s tuning in

I’m doing my best
Though my left eye’s a mess
It's swollen and I can't see a thing

Still, here’s your transmission
The heart bleed edition
Live from the bonegrind machine

I haven't slept near all weekend
The squat it was partying
And me and Eddie of course we joined in

I’m still pretty high
Though my bones sure are tired
Yet I'm searching these tunnels again

Last night while we're raging
This one song was playin'
And I felt like my sister was there
Like the old days when we
Made our way on the streets
Back before she disappeared

Eddie’s stressed and wound up
This big score we got coming
We got dreams we're gonna reach out and grab

And soon we’ll stop squatting
And we‘ll buy us a bar with
The money we make selling skag

Our friends will all hang there
With Eddie and me there
The good times they won’t end you'll see

And above it we'll have
This really posh flat
Far from the bonegrind machine

So each week here I play
The weird west cabaret
I rebroadcast it for all who tune in

That one hour it plays
Close my eyes, fade away
And live somewhere else for a bit
And think of my sister
And how much I miss her
And how I won’t rest til she’s found

So I scrounge neath the floors
In the tunnels and sewers
That lie like a maze underground

Being down here's for the best
I mean, Eddie's real stressed
This scores got him really uptight

I know it ain't right
But he sure let loose this time
I really can’t see out my eye

My whole cheek is swollen
It’s best that I'm gone for
A few days til his temper will ease

So here's your transmission
The sewer rat edition
Live from the bonegrind machine

When my sister comes back then
Everything’ll be right again
And Eddie will love her in time
And when he gets mad
She’ll stand up like she did dad
And then we'll all get along fine

I remember the day
I heard her on the Cabaret
Weeks after she disappeared

But this week it didn’t play
There was no cabaret
Instead in its place
There was something real strange
This broadcast l’ll play you right here
