lyrics

Millicent

© 1995 by Eric Dahl and John Hawk

The streets are goin dark
daylight’s almost gone
thinkin maybe I better not,
but I keep walkin on
down here on my own
finding what I’m looking for.

Millicent, I‘m innocent
but this punishment, it’s heaven sent.
You left me on my own,
findin what I’m looking for.

This guy comes up and says, “You want one a these?”
I said, “I’m so high got my feet up to my knees.”
He says, “What are you on?”
I said, “Brother, I’m on – my own,
down here all alone
findin what I’m lookin for.”

And these two gorgeous tropics
come drifting up the street sayin,
“Honey don’t you wanna get offa your feet?”
I say, “I’m on my way to the office.”
They say, “Ever hear of an office party?”
I say, “That sounds sweet but I’m
down here on my own findin what I’m lookin for.”
They both stick their tongues out at me.

Millicent, I‘m innocent
but this punishment, it’s heaven sent.
You left me on my own,
findin what I’m, looking for.

Came to an open doorway music pourin
on the street
walked right up shuffling my feet
looked in the window a crowd of
blue-lit people churnin
I said: I wanna live forever—
down here on my own
findin what I’m lookin for.

Millicent, I‘m innocent
but this punishment, it’s heaven sent.
You left me all alone, down her on my own
down her on my own
findin what I’m lookin for.
