Jolie Holland - Alley Flowers lyrics

Some people say you got a psychadelic presense

Shinin in the park with a bioluminescense

Down these city streets I see you comin'

From afar and I know

In this world ain't nobody's

Got the shine like you

Got to shine in this world

Ain't nobody's got the shine

Like you got to shine

In this world

Nobody sings like Mary Sue Bell

Nobody prays like Willie MacTell

Nobody walks a mile in my stolen shoes like I do

In this world ain't nobody's

Got the shine like you

Got to shine in this world

Ain't nobody's got the shine

Like you got to shine

In this world

I still miss my lonesome lover

And I cain't find no single other

To take his empty place in my heart of hearts

I told him

In this world ain't nobody's

Got the shine like you

Got to shine in this world

Ain't nobody's got the shine

Like you got to shine

In this world

The ghost of Shakespeare's on the street

Corderoy hat layin at his feet

Howlin in the harp these dirty city blues fallin hard

In this world ain't nobody's

Got the shine like you

Got to shine in this world

Ain't nobody's got the shine

Like you got to shine

In this world

Zora Neale Hurston told her story

And they kicked her out of new york city

Just like jesus christ in gallilee like I said

In this world ain't nobody's

Got the shine like you

Got to shine in this world

Ain't nobody's got the shine

Like you got to shine

In this world

Some people say I got a psychadelic presense

Shinin' in the park with a bioluminescense

Down these city streets I see you comin'

From afar, and I know

Ain't nobody's got the shine

Like you got to shine in this world

Ain't nobody's got the shine

Like you got to shine in this world.
