Lyrics Soul Coughing – Houston

I met a girl on rollerskates
She had a spare bag, she had lost some weight
Where I used to work, she was a waitress
She proposed a trade, it was generous

She’s gone to Houston, feel like I’m floating in a warm sea
And if she finds out when she comes back, I know that she will leave me

Well, I heard a sign, it was a dull crack
It was a clock hand, it was snapping back
Oh, well, it wasn’t hers, it was the dope’s kiss
I’ll take the blame upon my shoulder
Well, I just love to feel like this

She’s gone to Houston, feel like I’m floating in a warm sea
And if she finds out when she comes back, I know that she will leave me

Roller boogie, motherfucker
