Lyrics

The last time that I saw her
 She was standing in the rain
 With her overcoat under her arm
 Leaning on a horsehead cane
 She said "Carl, take all the money"
 She called everybody Carl
 "My spirit's broke"
 "My mind's a joke,"
 "And getting up's real hard"
 Chorus
 Don't you know her
 When you see her?
 She grew up
 In your back yard
 Come back to us
 Barbara Lewis
 Hare Krishna
 Beauregard
 Selling bibles at the airports
 Buying Quaaludes on the phone
 Hey, you talk about
 A paper route
 She's a shut in without a home
 God save her, please
 She's nailed her knees
 To some drugstore parking lot
 Hey, Mr. Brown
 Turn the volume down
 I believe this evening's shot
 Repeat Chorus
 Can't you picture her next Thursday?
 Can you picture her at all?
 In the Hotel Boulderado
 At the dark end of the hall
 I gotta shake myself and wonder
 Why she even bothers me
 For if heartaches were commercials
 We'd all be on T.V.
 Repeat Chorus
