	Lyrics NORTH BEACH GIRL Music and lyrics written by Doug Burtchaell Shes a self-appointed poster child of the beatnik generation Espresso-powered channel of all bongo revelation She loves Keruoac and Kesey Makes her parents so uneasy Especially when she looks at them with fire beyond her years Chorus: North Beach girl holding court so gracefully Cracking ancient mysteries Keeping me in perfect harmony Driftwood fires light the California sky All I do is wonder why she give me all her time She gives me all Verse 2: Lawrence Ferlinghettis Coney Island of the Mind She keeps a copy with her -- she can quote you every line She loves Lenny Bruce and Ginsburg Shakespeares Merry Wives of Windsor And everything The Doors have ever done Bridge: Daddy plays the market Mother throws her garden parties Slamming shots of cold Bacardi Gets her through the day They dont understand her Why cant she be like her sister? What mortal man would dare resist her? The perfect trophy wife in every way Verse 3: Black sweatshirted stagehand was the role she chose to play After-school rehearsals only bore her anyway Debutantes and cover girls will never share her bongo world She only left a ringside seat for me Chorus: Repeat: End: © 2002 Smart Blonde Music (BMI)
