A cigarette burns itself out in a crushed up co'cola can ashtray[00:00:27]

In front of a busted up old mirror[00:00:34]

Delilah Blue is checking out his tired sachet[00:00:37]

Getting bored or just disappointed with his own reflection[00:00:42]

He just waves it all away[00:00:46]

Taking to his good friend Black Eyed Susan he says[00:00:51]

Maybe we should go out West[00:00:56]

Get a tan and fake the rest[00:00:59]

This ol' life is just a test[00:01:03]

Just a test anyhow[00:01:08]

Then back to his own reflection he says[00:01:13]

Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now[00:01:16]

The night manager of the Stardest Motel is banging louder[00:01:27]

On number seven's door saying[00:01:32]

If you two queens don't pay up for all last week you can't stay here no more[00:01:35]

And Delilah laughs as Black Eyed Susan says Silly b***h is such a bore[00:01:42]

In a while they know she'll walk away[00:01:55]

It's just a drunken game she likes to play[00:01:59]

Besides she knows they always pay[00:02:02]

They always pay somehow[00:02:07]

Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now[00:02:16]

Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now What do we do now[00:02:24]

Magnolia memories fill my eyes and the sweet bird of youth done flown away[00:02:38]

But don't let anybody ever say[00:02:48]

This old dancer never had her day[00:02:55]

'Cause this old dancer always knew we'd make it through Delilah Blue[00:03:01]

Delilah's in the bath tub now and it's Black Eyed Susan's turn to ramble[00:03:18]

The President of the United States is on TV[00:03:25]

Tellin' everybody the country's doin' fine[00:03:28]

Well he must be talkin' 'bout some other country[00:03:32]

Cause honey he sure as hell ain't talkin' 'bout mine[00:03:34]

Wish I could strut up to the White House steps in Shirley Temple drag and sing[00:03:39]

'Brother can you spare a dime '[00:03:43]

Hey Miss D I could always pawn that Jayne Mansfield thing[00:03:49]

How much cash you think that old rag'd bring[00:03:55]

My ruby red dress I used to wear to sing[00:03:59]

Back when they'd whistle and they'd wow[00:04:03]

Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now[00:04:21]

Does the year 2000 ever scare you 'cause it's comin' up so fast[00:04:40]

This getting older thing seems to be more about just learnin' how to last[00:05:20]

Flippin' through my old phone book Delilah all our mad mad friends[00:05:27]

We were such a cast[00:05:33]

What do I keep this old dog eared thing for[00:05:41]

Most our friends ain't even here no more[00:05:44]

I'm feeling lonely as a ghost town w***e left still standin' up somehow[00:05:48]

Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now[00:06:01]

With a towel turban on his head[00:06:13]

Delilah Blue appears in the golden aura of bathroom light[00:06:14]

Tell you a little secret Susan I learned a long long time ago[00:06:19]

It's kept me on my feet all these years high heels too[00:06:26]

I got the strap marks to show[00:06:31]

You can take it or you can leave it oh baby guess I don't really know[00:06:34]

But it seems to me[00:06:45]

Between the blues we cannot name[00:06:48]

And all the rage we try to tame[00:06:51]

We're only pawns in our own game[00:06:55]

Try not to let it wrinkle your pretty brow[00:06:59]

And just before he cuts the light[00:07:02]

He catches his own reflection in the mirror and smiles at the sight[00:07:12]

Try not to let it wrinkle your pretty little brow[00:07:18]

Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now[00:07:35]

'Cause this old dancer thought she knew we'd make it through[00:08:04]

Oh this old dancer thought she knew Delilah Blue[00:09:01]

What do we do now[00:09:29]
