"Whatever Gets U Thru the Day"--Kathy Zimmer, from the album Spare Key

Like a junkie needs the needle
And a gravedigger needs some sun
Like a daughter needs her daddy
And dogs need space to run
Baby, its you

Like a sneaker needs the pavement
And a farmer smells fresh earth
Like a rock star needs applause
And a wistful housewife needs to know her worth,
Baby, its you

Like pop culture needs something new
Baby, its you.

Like a cowboy feels his freedom
And a hipster needs his thrills
Like New Yorkers need their pace
And a murderer needs his kills
Baby, its you

Like the middle child needs attention
And Thomas Edison listened for a voice
Like an orphan longs to belong
And a business man loves his invoice
Baby, its you




Kentucky rain needs eyes of blue
Baby, its you

Like the Earth needs Mars
Like a prison warden needs his bars
And the paparazzi need their stars

Like Rapunzel needs her braids
And an impulse shopper needs money today
Like a war-weary soldier longs for peace
And a death row Atheist starts to pray,
Baby

like a songbird drinks morning dew,
baby, it's you
