The Torch Singer (LP版) - John Prine[00:00:00]

The night club[00:00:00]

Was burning[00:00:01]

From the torch[00:00:04]

Singer's song[00:00:05]

And the sweat was floodin' her eyes[00:00:08]

The catwalk squeaked[00:00:14]

'Neath the bartender's feet[00:00:17]

And the smoke was too heavy[00:00:20]

To rise[00:00:22]

She sang of the love that I left her[00:00:25]

And of the woman that she'll never be[00:00:30]

Made me feel like the buck and a quarter[00:00:35]

That I paid 'em to listen and see[00:00:40]

Paid 'em[00:00:47]

To listen and see[00:00:48]

I was born down in kansas[00:01:00]

'Neath the october sky[00:01:04]

Work the day shift from seven to three[00:01:08]

And the only relief[00:01:13]

That I receive[00:01:16]

Is nearer my god to thee[00:01:18]

She constantly throws me off timing[00:01:24]

Leaves me standing both naked and bare[00:01:29]

Makes me feel like the sunday funnies[00:01:34]

After everything's gone off the air[00:01:39]

Everything's gone off the air[00:01:46]

I picked through the ashes[00:01:59]

Of the torch singer's song[00:02:03]

And I ordered my money a round[00:02:07]

For whiskey and pain[00:02:12]

Both taste the same[00:02:15]

During the time they go down[00:02:18]

She sang of the love that I left her[00:02:23]

And of the woman that she'll never be[00:02:28]

Made me feel like the buck and a quarter[00:02:34]

That I paid 'em[00:02:39]

To listen and see[00:02:41]

Paid 'em[00:02:45]

To listen and see[00:02:46]
