Songs Title:just like tom thumb’s blues[00:00:02]
Youre When lost in the rain in juarez[00:00:10]
Its And easter time too[00:00:14]
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[00:00:39]
And they really make a mess out of you[00:00:42]
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[00:01:14]
To get up and take another shot[00:01:18]
And my best friend my doctor[00:01:24]
Wont even say what it is I have got[00:01:27]
Sweet melinda[00:01:40]
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom[00:01:43]
Speaks She good english[00:01:50]
And she invites you up into her room[00:01:53]
And youre so kind[00:01:59]
And careful not to go to her too soon[00:02:01]
And then she takes your voice[00:02:08]
And leaves you howling at the moon .............[00:02:11]
Up on housing project hill[00:02:29]
Its either fortune or fame[00:02:33]
You can take one or the other[00:02:38]
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[00:03:17]
Hew they blackmailed the sergeant at arms[00:03:23]
Into leaving his post[00:03:27]
And picking up my brother car who[00:03:32]
Just arrived here from the coast[00:03:36]
Who looked so fine at first[00:03:42]
But left looking just like a ghost well like they ghost i seed[00:03:45]
I when started out on burgundy[00:04:01]
But soon hit the harder stuff[00:04:06]
Everybody said theyd stand behind me[00:04:12]
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[00:04:24]
Im going back to new york city[00:04:30]
I do believe Ive had enough[00:04:33]
