[Verse 1]
Ja, '91
See how they run
I brought nylons
From New York
Some had butterflies
Some had flecks
I brought nylons
From New York
Hard flat butterflies
Some had specks
[Refrain 1]
The good news
You cannot refuse
The bad news
Is there is no news
[Verse 2]
Tonight he'll rise
He'll sell his arms
To anyone
Who asks about
As-in-the wind
As-in the rain
As-in-as in
As-in-without
