Sit down on the corner
just a little climb
When I make my money
got to get my dime
Sit down with her baby
wind is full of trash
She bold as the street light
dark and sweet as hash
Way down in the hollow
leavin' so soon
Oh, St. Teresa
higher than the moon
<Interlude>
Reach down for the sweet stuff
when she looks at me
I know any man
sees you like I see
Follow down the side street
movin' single file
She say
That's where I'll hold you
sleeping like a child
Way down in the hollow
leavin' so soon
Oh, St. Teresa
higher than the moon
<Interlude>
Just what I've been needin'
feel it rise in me
She say
Every stone a story
like a rosary
Corner St. Teresa
just a little crime
When I make my money
got to get my dime
Way down in the hollow
leavin' so soon
Oh, St. Teresa
higher than the moon
<Interlude>
You called up in the sky
You called up in the clouds
Is there something you
forgot to tell me
tell me, tell me, tell me
tell me, tell me
<Interlude>
Show me my Teresa
feel it rise in me
Every stone a story
like a rosary
