lyrics

they're hosing down the street again
it's getting dark
this fish-scented water runs around my feet
into the gutter
dinner at the noodle shop tonight
they know me there
they'll give me a menu though they know
exactly what I'll order

when we broke up
you went down to our favorite restaurant
returned some hours later
with an appetizer sampler
as if I wouldn't notice you were moving to Los Angeles
here's a samosa
it'll make the whole thing better

it's an accident I'm living here
but it's no accident that I stay

my love is waiting on clement street
out in the avenues somewhere
and if you like it on clement street
I could guarantee that you're gonna love me
probably

and it's not mission or valencia or haight
it's not the kind of place
that all the guidebooks send you too
if you need dinner or an ice cream or a drink
or brilliant books by authors you have never heard of
but may soon become your favorite
