Mad at a Girl

Well the downtown whores are calling my name
But I’m just walking blind
Yeah the weak and the poor struggle to claim
My unfeeling mind
These woes of mortal men
These worthless things of the world
Well I don’t care and I won’t pretend
'Cause tonight I’m mad at a girl
Every stranger’s face seems like it holds
More than it reveals
And the streets I pace sparkle with gold
But that’s not how it feels
I stand on the river’s rim
But I’m not searchin' for pearls
Just findin' a hole deep as I’m in
'Cause tonight I’m mad at a girl
No, I don’t need a close friend’s ear
That gut-spilling stuff’s for squares
And I never go around mirrors
I don’t wanna see someone that cares
I’ve gone miles dodging the blame
Torn these soles apart
I’ve raked my nails over the name
That I wear on my heart
And I’ve swallowed pride enough
To make my stomach curl
Yeah tomorrow I’ll be begging for love
But tonight I’m mad at a girl
