| (Verse 1)
Dear summer’s gone, the days are grey now The money’s gone my papa gave me I’m tired of waiting, I’m tired of saving Every last memory of mine I walked straight to this place on Broadway Where there were many people dancing Some seemed to be praying Yeah, papa (leaved?) a stain with blood Maybe it was wine, I don’t know But it was happy, it was happy I was sweating and I wish I'd never stopped The time passed on so quick and easy I clapped my toes, I couldn’t help but smile The stranger that I noticed in the corner Seemed to be staring at my mouth And they’re tumbling down the tiny hours The joint had cleared out long ago A woman handed me a napkin Just as the stranger approached May I sit down, he said so softly His voice surprising in its kindness He said, now you seem to be alone here I’d like to make you an offer Well, I could offer you this powder Maybe a supple pound of flesh Could be a man, could be a woman Or anything you might suggest So why not? Oh-Ho-Ho, why not? Just give me your little music bags He said, I know this place is wretched And I’m a joker, I’m disgusting, I know that But all the trains have stopped running One must take comfort where one lies Why not? Oh-Ho-Ho, why not? Just give me your little music bags Why not? Just give me your little music bags Give me your little music bags Give me your little music bags |
