Factory Tab

by Martha Wainwright


These are not my people, I should never have come here

The chick with the dick and the gift for the gab

I know a place, I've seen the face

And I'll take the coast from factory to factory


These nights that I have been all alone

And through my window the moonlight she shone

And on my walls the fire she danced

Playing out my very last chance to


run...run...run...run...

Don't look back, you're moving too fast

I know a place, I've seen the face

And I'll take the high road from factory to factory

Oh yeah...

There are millions and millions of people around
On my TV, walking my streets, making sounds
And I can walk with them, I love them, I need them
But there are others I have known as poor souls, sores exposed
To the run-of-the-mill, the destitute and the cold
Sores exposed to the blisters and shards
Where any kind of kindness is as far as the sun
The sun...the sun...the sun...run...run...run...
I know a place, I've seen a face
And I'll take the coast from factory to factory

Oh yeah...

These are not my people, I should never have come here
I know a place, I've seen a face
And I'll take the coast from factory to factory

Oh yeah...
