Maria’s Little Elbows

Well Ill bet my marias got an elbow full of lonely
Now heres a little prayer so that she might get some sleep
Dont let her face be skinned by the sun today
Dont let it in when it comes knocking at your door

Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
Oh oh

Sometimes you feel youve got the emptiest arms in the whole world
Try to make sense but it always comes out absurd
Sleeping horses keep eating up your flowers
Dont let em in when it comes kicking at your door

Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
Oh
Came kicking at my door

She said Ive really come to hate my body
And all the things that it requires in this world
I bet youre out there getting drunk with all your friends
And itll get you in the bathroom of a texaco

Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
Oh
Came kicking at my door
