Rasputina - Rusty The Skatemaker Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • She was born in an oil-drum South side of Chicago
  • When East St. Louis was not far away.
  • She'd lace knives to her boots and go down to the riverbed
  • Skate around and around till the night became day.
  • The cannery fellows would follow her everywhere
  • From the grocery store to the B.Q.E.
  • With their hearts all aglow from her icy back-at-you stare.
  • When her teeth became tight when her eyes couldn't see.
  • And she told herself that this was enough.
  • For a girl who was born in an oil-drum
  • She had her skates didn't need lots of stuff.
  • She didn't need it but she still wanted some.
  • She had one thing that she liked and she kept around
  • She would take it with her to the riverbed.
  • As she skated around she always thought of a pretty sound
  • That she heard as a girl in her mother's bed.
  • The sound of some breathing another breath in and out
  • When some lungs expand and contract like they do.
  • And she looked at herself in the ice of the riverbed and
  • She saw a girl one which she could see through.
