My true love drowned in a dirty old pan
Of oil that did run from the block
Of a Falcon sedan 1969
The paper said '75
There were no survivors
None found alive
Trees break the sidewalk
And the sidewalk skins my knees
There's glass in my thermos
And blood on my jeans
Nickels and dimes of the Fourth of July
Roll off in a crooked line
To the chain-link lots where the red tails dive
Oh, how I forgot what it's like
Hey when she sings, when she sings, when she sings like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey when she moves, when she moves, when she moves like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey there, there's such deadly wolves 'round town tonight
Round the town tonight
Hey there, there's such deadly wolves 'round town tonight
Round the town tonight
Hey pretty baby get high with me
We can go to my sister's if we say we'll watch the baby
The look on your face yanks my neck on the chain
And I would do anything
I would do anything
To see you again
So I've fallen behind
Hey when she sing, when she sing, when she sing like she runs
Move like she runs
Hey when she move, when she moves, when she moves like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey there, there's such deadly wolves 'round town tonight
Round the town tonight
Hey there, there's such deadly wolves 'round town tonight
Round the town tonight
Go on, go on and scream and cry
You're miles from where anyone will find you
This is nothing new, no television crew
They don't even put on the sirens
My nightgown sweeps the pavement
Please don't let her die
Oh how I forgot

| MojoJojo (Indianapolis, IN USA) | Posted: Mar 26, 2013 - 10:28 I have an insatiable appetite for this song. |

| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Mar 09, 2013 - 17:40 marvelous... sigh... |
| Grammarcop (You want an E Class? We got 'em!) | Posted: Feb 06, 2013 - 10:03 My one and only complaint with RP: When songs overlap in transition and the first few notes of the next song mingle with the final few notes of the song that is ending. On most songs it doesn't matter. On this one, to me at least, it does. |

| MojoJojo (Indianapolis, IN USA) | Posted: Jan 17, 2013 - 10:24 I cannot get enough of Neko and especially this song. The amazing lyrics could only be matched by her performance. This, my friends, is the best antidote for the pap that passes for music on corporate FM radio and shows like American Idol. It's music like this that motivates my monthly support to this station. |
| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Jan 09, 2013 - 11:34 Everybody in my church loves this song... |

And I thought I was crazy. How anyone could get hooked on gefilte fish is beyond me. (Is there a Groucho emoticon?) Good luck with the Neko yearnings! Just make sure that your unattainable love is always 500 yards away...as specified in the permanent restraining order. |

| coloradojohn (A Mile High and then some, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Sep 13, 2012 - 18:51 When each piece of this amazing gal's work emerged on RP as if a fully-formed glowing planetary system from a new and rapidly expanding galaxy, I found that I just couldn't get enough...and I must say that over the years since, each of these songs can still bring such a swoon and swirl of images, feelings, mysteries and enigmas that I can get nothing done but must sit and listen, rapt, as ever, by that voice, that music, that talent! |
| KurtfromLaQuinta (Deep in the heart of South California) | Posted: Sep 13, 2012 - 18:51 I love this song. |
| Flipmode (Spartanburg, SC) | Posted: Aug 13, 2012 - 07:28 I hate Neko Case and it seems I hear her at least once a day on RP. |

| ziakut (Albeit In The Meantime) | Posted: Jun 16, 2012 - 13:11 Um...my audible heart is in love again today. Anyone who enjoys this song...should take my hand and let's sway and sing. I'm thinking of Cynaera right now and wishing her well in her new path. Sun is shining, but the rain is happening and so is my heart. |

| gemtag (Texas) | Posted: Dec 27, 2011 - 11:47 She sounds good but way too much of her is played here. Just remove every 4th or 5th with a little Sam Phillips or Nina Gordon. |

| coyotexxx2 (Enjoying Paradise) | Posted: Dec 20, 2011 - 12:59 Wow, the lyrics of this song reminds me of growing up on the western plains, on the east slope of the rockies. Perfect. |
