Holy Grail

Shes on the make or its still a grand plan Shes taking sides in the last stand She finds her scene by the newspaperstand, and Theres nothing there but its all at hand Beneath the arches out of sight In dark doorways the broken light Theres a cold hard ground to spend the night. I dont know what a wise man would say But she sure seems to know that its not the way Its no holy grail, no holy grail I dont know if shes young or shes old But I sure see her shivering in the cold And thats no holy grail, no holy grail No holy grail, no holy grail. They tried to move her on And take her last stash Its been that way since her stock has crashed Shes got an apple But its not in her ear, Dear Lord smell the coffee take a photograph Beneath the blankets and the grime The supermarkets turns a dime And its colder still she puts up a fight I dont know what a wise man would say But she sure seems to know that its not the way Its no holy grail, no holy grail I dont know if shes young or shes old But I sure see her shivering in the cold And thats no holy grail, no holy grail No holy grail, no holy grail. And in her hand written telegram, Sam Could be a friend, sponsor, big man She makes a call: Pull me out of this quick sand Hes always there, but he never can. Now as the rollers lock in place The neon finds a stone embrace Then the coldest road is the one she takes. I dont know what a wise man would say But she sure seems to know that its not the way Its no holy grail, no holy grail I dont know if shes young or shes old But I sure see her shivering in the cold And thats no holy grail, no holy grail No holy grail, no holy grail.
