Mike Doughty says:
“Saw a girl in Georgia, but I lived in Brooklyn; she couldn’t deal with the mileage, she ditched me. I actually yelped at her ‘You dumped me!’ and she replied, rolling her eyes, ‘dumped’. (sigh) That word is so 80’s. It was late August, humid and awful in New York, my apartment i...
[Verse 1]
With a body like soft serve, dripping down in the June sun
I tried to shoot a thought, but the thought sunk
Nothin' to do but scratch words in the dirt and
Watch the water roll down
Phantom kisses buzzing like the insects
Beads of sweat drippin' down on the rent check
My Candyland melted down to syrup while I

[Chorus]
But hey, the lust comes into phase
But you're down in Marietta
So sweet my mouth was seared

[Verse 2]
My sister
Your words can be held against you in a court of law
My sister
You owe no allegiance to the facts, yeah
Talkin' like the saint on the site of the accident
Talkin' like the clause in the lease about the late rent
Ringin' like the random call patched to the payphone
Talkin' like the water rolls down
Watched the water roll down
[Chorus]
And here comes the lust into phase
But you're down in Marietta
So sweet my mouth was seared
But the words you mouthed were sweeter
[Verse 3]
Talkin' like the saint on the site of the accident
Talkin' like the botched shot, attempt on the president
Ringin' like the change in the legless man's Dixie cup
Talkin' like the water rolls down
Watched the water roll down now
[Outro]
Day undone, day undone, day undone, day undone
Day undone, day undone, day undone, day undone
Day undone, day undone, day undone, day undone
Watched the water roll down
Day undone, day undone, day undone, day undone
Day undone, day undone, day undone, day undone
Day undone, day undone, day undone, day undone
Watched the water roll down
Watched the water roll down
Watched the water roll down
Watched the water roll down
Watched the water roll down
