lyrics

He sits alone on a park bench
Clutching a pretty leather purse
He’s a showcase for those to see
Smiles at a familiar gesture
He’s what has been shown and told about for years
In many of the homes
That have had the pleasure to see him

Fearless “Peaches” is what he’s known to the locals
He doesn’t run or jog in the morning
But skips his way around town
He had a bike that he called “Sunshine”
But it got stolen by some local thugs
That mistook him for another queen, “Sugar Snacks”
“Sugar Snacks”

Oh, no. Fearless “Peaches”
Oh, no. Fearless “Peaches”

“Peaches” calls himself “The Shuffler”
Can shuffle anything with the best of them
A deck of cards, an untold fortune
He also knows how to shuffle into the record store

Picks up the latest Iggy Pop vinyl and stares
With those bright blue eyes he smiles
Tucks it under his sweater and crawls on out of there
He races home and puts on the phonograph
God, how he loves the sound of the crackle
God, how he loves the sound of the pop
God, how he loves the sound of the crackle
God would’ve said, “That’s Iggy Pop.”

“Peaches” gets busy in front of the mirror
Does a slow strip, his heart is racing fast

Oh, no. Fearless “Peaches”
Oh, no. Fearless “Peaches”
But he has hope, but he has hope
But he has hope, but he has hope
But he has hope, but he has hope
