Shinbone Alley Lyrics - Homebelly Groove...live - Spin Doctors

Moonlight through the chicken wire, humming windowpane, 

Lukewarm water gasping down a rusty drain 

Big town's in need of mending, street lights make tooth some seams 

Denim shadows shuffle in between the beams. 

Different strokes for different folks so 

Mind your manner and easy on the ethnic jokes 

It's a dumbbell curve, your trying to tally, 

All the way down to shin bone alley 

Streets are metacarpal and flesh of asphalt calm 

Buildings rise like fingers from a concrete palm 

Yellow lit apartment trickle through the drapes 

Windows frame each history hidden even from the fire escapes 

Sullen winter sparrow lends wing to expanse of grey 

Six-thirty-two in the morning on Thanksgiving day 

And the bums they hit their corners, the thunderbird rubs their bones 

And the crack addicts stare at the snowflakes zigzagging down to greet jones 

Different strokes for different folks so...

Seven-thirty-two on the same day, your bare feet on the parquet 

And the light so papery white shining past the microwave 

Knuckles to eyeballs and elbows on the table 

Spend the day gazing from the window gable...
