Pretty Beggar - Beatnik Boys Lyrics

Faded black t-shirts
Calloused fingers hard down to the bone
Headlights pointed out to California
And no plans to ever make it home
Cigarette in ready lips
Scars of rebellion lingering in tow
Tattoos marking what we understand
And nobody else'll ever know

Cos we were beatnik boys with nothing but a head full of soul
All we own is what we carryin' sayin
I forged a mind from the boredom and now
I can't be bothered to not be boogiein'

Starry eyed driver boy
Lead footed methodica never knew a doubt
Head in the heavens level with the gods
And no ropes to pull him down
Promiscuously vagabond
Counter culture Kerouac in us all
Even though we ain't making any money
I'm standing 50' tall

Cos we were beatnik boys with nothing but a head full of soul
All we own is what we carryin' sayin
I forged a mind from the boredom and now
I can't be bothered to not be boogiein'

Well we're surviving with a clever wit and daily we're hanging by a thread
Pickin pockets like monkey stealin bread
Tank out of gas n'only enough cash for Arizona
But that's alright I could make a fine life there in Sedona

Cos we were beatnik boys with nothing but a head full of soul
All we own is what we carryin' sayin
I forged a mind from the boredom and now
I can't be bothered to not be boogiein'
