Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues - Nina Simone[00:00:00]

When youre lost in the rain in juarez[00:00:10]

Its And easter time too[00:00:15]

And your gravity fails[00:00:20]

And negativity dont pull you through[00:00:22]

Dont put on any airs[00:00:30]

When youre down on rue morgue avenue[00:00:33]

They got some hungry women there[00:00:40]

And they really make a mess out of you[00:00:43]

Now if you see saint annie[00:00:55]

Tell Please her thanks a lot[00:00:59]

I cannot move[00:01:05]

My fingers are all in a knot[00:01:07]

I dont have the strength[00:01:15]

To get up and take another shot[00:01:18]

And my best friend my doctor[00:01:25]

Wont even say what it is I have got[00:01:28]

Sweet melinda[00:01:40]

The peasants call her the goddess of gloom[00:01:43]

Speaks She good english[00:01:51]

And she invites you up into her room[00:01:53]

And youre so kind[00:02:00]

And careful not to go to her too soon[00:02:01]

And then she takes your voice[00:02:09]

And leaves you howling at the moon [00:02:12]

Up on housing project hill[00:02:29]

Its either fortune or fame[00:02:33]

You can take one or the other[00:02:39]

Though neither of them[00:02:42]

Are to be what they claim[00:02:43]

If youre looking to get silly[00:02:49]

You better go back from where you came[00:02:52]

Because the cops dont need you[00:02:58]

And man they expect the same[00:03:01]

The Now authoritiesall[00:03:14]

Just They stand around and boast[00:03:18]

Hew they blackmailed the sergeant at arms[00:03:24]

Into leaving his post[00:03:28]

And picking up my brother car who[00:03:33]

Just arrived here from the coast[00:03:37]

Who looked so fine at first[00:03:43]

But left looking just like[00:03:46]

A ghost well like they ghost i seed[00:03:48]

I when started out on burgundy[00:04:02]

But soon hit the harder stuff[00:04:07]

Everybody said theyd stand behind me[00:04:13]

When the game got rough[00:04:16]

Ah But the joke was on me[00:04:21]

There was nobody even there to bluff[00:04:25]

Im going back to new york city[00:04:31]

I do believe Ive had enough[00:04:34]
