Paroles de One-legged girl

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!
