Alley Flowers Lyrics

Some people say you got a psychedelic presence
Shinin' in the park with a bioluminescense
Down these city streets I see you comin'
From afar and I knowIn this world ain't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this world
Ain't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this worldNobody sings like Mary Sue Bell
Nobody prays like Willie Mac Tell
Nobody walks a mile in my stolen shoes like I doIn this world ain't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this world
Ain't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this worldI still miss my lonesome lover
And I can't find no single other
To take his empty place
In my heart of hearts, I told himIn this world ain't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this world
Ain't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this worldThe ghost of Shakespeare's on the street

Corduroy hat layin' at his feet
Howlin' in the harp
These dirty city blues fallin' hardIn this world ain't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this world
Ain't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this worldZora Neale Hurston told her story
And they kicked her out of New York city
Just like Jesus Christ in Gallilee, like I saidIn this world ain't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this world
Ain't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this worldSome people say I got a psychedelic presence
Shinin' in the park with a bioluminescense
Down these city streets I see you comin'
From afar and I knowAin't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this world
Ain't nobody's got the shine
Like you got to shine in this world
