|
You can open the window |
|
Where the sunset meets the sea |
|
Everything's for sale |
|
Everything's for free |
|
Sweet mother Mary |
|
Sells her fortunes well |
|
She's got all the answers |
|
Just might save you from hell |
|
Across the street at the bottomless cup |
|
You can drink and drink but you can |
|
Never get enough |
|
You can have yours with sweet and low |
|
You might even have the blues to go |
|
One shot Johnny |
|
Got a dog on a rope |
|
Goin' from table to table |
|
With a pocket full of hope |
|
Rodeo riders and scarlet women |
|
Lean against your walls |
|
The show they're waitin' for |
|
Is just three steps down the hall |
|
The of king of jive looks like the queen of please |
|
Makes his livin' on his hands and knees |
|
You give and you give 'till you give it all |
|
Oh, just think if these walls could talk, oh |
|
I've climbed so high |
|
And I've surely fell |
|
Every story has a hero |
|
Down at the Cadillac Hotel |
|
El Dorado Slim |
|
Works behind the desk |
|
Either day or night |
|
He can handle any request |
|
J. C.'s screamin' |
|
Bout turnin' water to wine |
|
Got all in a big brown bag |
|
In the lobby, just past nine, in an old Maytag |
|
The homeless and haunted and street Van Gogh's |
|
Lace their souls up tight |
|
Hang your coat on a fin, you finally got in |
|
Get ready for Cadillac night |
|
Across the street at the bottomless cup |
|
It's not about money, you can never get enough |
|
A handful of honesty, a fist full of pride |
|
It's not how you live, it's how you survive |
|
I've climbed so high |
|
And I've surely fell |
|
Every story has a hero |
|
Down at the Cadillac Hotel |
|
I've climbed so high |
|
And I've surely fell |
|
Ten thousand feet to zero |
|
Down at the Cadillac Hotel |
