You know the girl who tends the graves at Pere Lachaise
You can hardly see her black lined eyes beneath the shadow of her sadness
The crows they sit upon the stones and watch her while she sketches
My pretty girl from Pere Lachaise
You know the girl who tends the graves at Pere Lachaise
The ghosts come out when the sun goes down or at least that’s what she says
They head on down to Jimmie’s grave and smoke the stuff the hippies leave
My funny girl from Pere Lachaise
She’s waiting for the money
But the money never comes
Me and the girl who tends the graves at Pere Lachaise
We sit and watch the sun come up and we drink whisky that she says was his
She says life for her is a broken bottle and love is just a shopping list
My crazy girl from Pere Lachaise
We were going to sell her paintings from the crumbling walls of Pere Lachaise
But she got a job on a TV station and now she says that she feels blessed
Somedays I don’t understand a single word but I confess
I love my girl from Pere Lachaise
She’s waiting for somebody
But somebody never comes
So she’s painting all the camels who made it through the needle
Must have bribed the angels, maybe God
Used up all the money they got
for slaughtering the unicorns
And the tears they stole
From me and you
Me and the girl who tends the graves at Pere Lachaise
Who pokes her pink and lovely tongue into each and every secret place
Until she finds the single thing that you could lose and not replace
My dangerous girl from Pere Lachaise
She’s waiting for the money
But the money never comes
So she’s painting all the camels who made it through the needle
Must have bribed the angels, maybe God
Used up all the money they got
for slaughtering the unicorns
And the tears they stole
From me and you
