Jus' Like Brigitte Bardot Lyrics - Joshua Kadison

Neffertiti came out west in a stolen Limousine 

Twenty dollars to her name 

And a walk like you ain't never seen 

She moved into number eight 

With just a bottle in her hand 

An old radio wrapped up in it's cord 

And no particular plan 

I watched her in the hallway 

She blew me a little kiss 

And said, "Hey baby, what's a boy like you 

Doin' in a place like this?" 

Then she said, "Well, I hate to be the one 

To have to give you the news 

But this world ain't nothin' 

But a one way ticket to the blues" 

Then she said, "Baby" 

She said, "Baby 

Baby, can you help me find 

A soul station on this old radio?" 

And we can steal us a little salvation 

If you got no place else to go 

Oh baby, can you help me find 

A soul station? I'm feeling kinda low 

And if you use your, use your 'magination 

Baby, I dance jus' like Brigitte Bardot 

I was sweepin' a warehouse floor 

'Cross town midnight to eight 

If my ship was ever comin' in 

It sure was dockin' late 

Neffertiti was dancin' six nights 

At a club jut off the strip 

After work we'd meet for breakfast 

I'd help her count up all her tips 

She'd stuff some money 

In my pocket and say 

"Baby, go back home 

Now what you tryin' to prove 

Boy, in this city all alone" 

Then she said, "Well, I hate to be the one 

To have to give you the news 

But this world ain't nothin' 

But a one way ticket to the blues" 

And we can steal us a little salvation 

If you got no place else to go 

Oh baby, can you help me find 

A soul station? I'm feeling kinda low 

And if you use your, use your 'magination 

Baby, I dance jus' like Brigitte Bardot 

She'd say, "Mamma must be worried 

Sick about you" 

She'd make me send home letters every 

'Bout every month or so 

So I'd be there writing at her kitchen table 

And Neffertiti'd be dancin' to the 

Sweet soul music playin' on her radio 

Mamma wants to rock you, rock you slow 

To the sweet soul music on the radio 

And we can steal us a little salvation 

If you got no place else to go 

Oh baby, can you help me find 

A soul station? I'm feeling kinda low 

And if you use your, use your 'magination 

Baby, I dance jus' like Brigitte Bardot 

Neffertiti came out west in a stolen limousine
