St. Teresa

She, down on the corner, just a little crime
When I make my money, got to get my dime
She, down with her baby, wind is full of trash
She, bold as a streetlight, dark and sweet as hash

Way down in the hollow
Leavin' so soon?
Oh, Saint Teresa
Higher than the Moon

Reach-down for the sweet stuff, way she looks at me
I know any man sees you like I see
Follow down the side street, move in single file
She said: That's where I'll hold you, sleepin' like a child

Way-down in the hollow
Leavin' so soon?
Oh, St Teresa
Higher than the Moon

Just what I been needin', feel it rise in me
She said: Every stone a story, like a rosary
Corner Saint Teresa, just a little crime
When I make my money, got to get my dime

Way down in the hollow
Leavin' so soon?
Oh, St Teresa
Higher than the Moon

You crawled up in the sky
You crawled up in the clouds
Is there something you forgot to tell me?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Show me, my Teresa
Feel it rise in me
Every stone a story
Like a rosary
