The woman with the painted eyebrow stare With crimson rubber lips and copper hair Clings to her cart down on Pilgrimage Row And soon she'll roll it where the numbers end She'll fill it up and roll it back again Judy or Bridget or Joan trudges home from her morning retreat She's got nothing to speak of and no one to meet But it's not like she made any promises It's not like she's ever had happiness Real happiness And passing through a couple's parting hands Her memories dance upon their wedding bands Making it hard to go easy, I know Remember when he used to call on you And taught you all the things that lovers do Back and forth, back and forth Pinning you down with his capital eyes As he lapped like a beast at the source of your thighs Well it's not like you made any promises It's not like you ever had happiness Real happiness And his words are like dollars What's backing them If I could leave this city No lights, no talk, no pity Just another month Another year at least Another pilgrimage Joan, I know that you're the same as me We're haunted by the same epiphany Love is the only thing worth this decay But nothing changes after twenty-two Except the way that people look at you When did I ever get Old in whose eyes? In whose eyes? In whose eyes? I will now count the faces that fed me to time Well it's not like we made any promises It's not like I'll ever have happiness Real happiness Oh, what's happiness? And his words are like dollars What's backing them If happiness was just a pilgrimage
