I Miss The Girl Lyrics

Daughter to the pop veneer. Shining like a new mint quarter. Shining like the Franklin Mint. Seedy like the lampshade quarter. Rolling with the dopes you know. Rolling with the wrong gun on you. Going down to Baltimore. Going in an off-white Honda. Oh I miss the girl, miss the girl, miss the girl, I want to give myself to water. Speeding to the rupture line. Rat-a-tatting boombox moocher. Darling with the boop shuh-nai. Rat-a-tatting lose your future.

I dream that she aims to be the bloom upon my misery.

She rocks mop style, she needs the rest.

And I know it's not the same thing

I think the lyrics are suppost to be " Oh I miss the girl, miss the girl, miss the girl, I want to give myself to water WELL" meaning he want to throw himself into a water well. hense suiside.

and i dont think preludes come off-white, i think it might be an Accord cause i cant really see any others in off-white

I always wondered what people this song might be about, anyway...

I hear:

"She rocks mop style, and leave the rest"

It certainly sounds like he says "leave" all three times, at least to me. Now I know Mike isn't very clear sometimes in his singing in Soul Coughing... so I dunno. Hell, I thought he said "mob-style" and not "mop style"

That being said, what the hell is rocking mop style?

Of course, there's a lot of alternative bands in the 90s where it was cool to sing about total nonsense so who knows? (and that's fine with me, I don't want politics and crap in my music anyway)
