So she went to the bar on the corner

With some friends who were buried alive

And a man leaned over to tell her

That her luck had finally arrived

Said he drove a Cadillac

They could sneak out thru the crack

And he'd never bring her back here again

Watched her finger twirl a circle in her drink

If you think too much, then you'll never decide

You end up like an ice cube sinking down to the bottom

So you do what you must to survive

So she walked out by his side

To strange shadows in the night

Disappeared in the streetlights and were gone

And here I am

And here I am

"So where's it parked," she said

"We've walked so far and I'm getting so tired"

And he looked like a crook who'd just been caught

He said "I don't own no Cadillac

Don't even own a paper sack

To carry the confidence that I lack and my lies"

So she said "You know I just can't believe this"

He said "Go ahead, just leave, I understand"

But instead she rested his head on her shoulder

But how could he love her with nothing to give her

But empty pockets and a crooked man?

Well she said "You can love me with your hands

You can love me with your eyes

You can love me with your voice and your lies"

And here I am

And here I am

And here I am

And here I am
