For the Price of a Cup of Tea Lyrics

For the price of a cup of tea
You'd get a line of coke
For the price of a night with me
You'd be the village jokeFor the price of a pint of milk
I'll tell you all I know
About the state of the world today
Sit down, enjoy the showShe had several hours to find a place to stay
Try the coffee shop, but somewhere on the way
She heard about a place somewhere she could go
Walked a couple of blocks to her destinationFor the price of a cup of tea
You'd get a seven inches
Soul black vinyl to stop your tears
You can use my stereoShe just wants to be accepted in this place
But there's something in her face
She will always seem exotic and aloof
If you want to know the truthHer friends the stars dripping from the jeweled sky
When she was passing by, would keep her calm
There was people that she knew, at least she thought she did

Be easy on the kidShe took her winter coat from her plastic wrapper
Pushed back her fringe, see her birthmark
She will finally be the person she wanted to beFor the price of a cup of tea
For the price of a cup of tea
For the price of a cup of tea
For the price of a cup of teaFor the price of a cup of tea
For the price of a cup of tea
For the price of a cup of tea
Take a walk, you should follow me
