Lyrics:
It’s a strangely quiet Parkdale morning
maybe everybody else is dead
I’m so glad they’re still serving up at Mitzi’s
Just a stones throw from my bed

Who are you to pull me from this slumber
with your beautiful lips and your insatiable thunder
I don’t know…

We always walk the same direction
We are restricted to the east
We just keep kickin back the sidewalks and the drunks
To build an appetite for one more feast

Who are you to pull me from this slumber
with your beautiful lips and your insatiable thunder

You look around yourself in fear
You see these folks are not your kind
Squeeze my hand avert your eyes pull down your hat
too late the destitution’s branded in your mind

Who are you to pull me from this slumber
with your beautiful lips and your insatiable thunder

I know you wanna make more love
The kind that lingers like a bad song
Maybe you think that if you love me hard enough
I might stay with you, but you’re wrong

And now I fear it is the last time
I’ll ever kiss your pretty face
What kinda cruel contradiction
Is gonna put me in my rightful place

Who are you to pull me from this slumber
with your beautiful lips and your insatiable thunder
I don’t know…
