runs on empty all the time (only on "empty") ------- i met this very beautiful girl on the streets she said....wanna go "out," boy?" i gestured at the ground, the buildings, the sky,and said "we are already out, aren't we?" she said...."let's go back to my place....a hundred bucks for the whole night" i said "do i look like the kind who needs you, or, for that matter HAS a hundred bucks? she scowled and screamed out..."you ******* i was so hurt i just slid down to the sidewalk and started to cry. she ran up, lifted me to my feet and apologized. she said..."look at the ten dollar a throw girls...dying.!! a hundred bucks a night...the guy gets drunk, ***** me once, passes out ---feels ashamed of himself ...gives me fifty dollars extra...and is gone! "why?" was all i could say "becase my husband left me with the kid, i need an extra three hundred a month to support us"....two or three nights a month!...two or three lousy, stinking nights a month!" i pulled out all of money and handed it to her, and said..."here,take it....i'll try to get more.......... it was about a buck fifty in change. she didn't take it........ i stammered "do you want us to just get married?" she slowly shook her head..."no" we stood looking at eachother for a very long time........ then.....all at once...we both sighed deeply, turned.....and were gone -------- runs on empty all the time (only on "empty")
