Case |
|
She was standin' on the corner of wonderland and woe |
|
Waitin' for the light to change and wonderin' where to go |
|
Take the bottles to the grocery, the records to the shop |
|
Or step out on the sidewalk and make some traffic stop |
|
'Cause the phone is disconnected, landlord's at the door |
|
Tow truck at the curb side's here to repossess the Ford |
|
And there's a house rent party tonight, everybody shake |
|
We're gonna blow the roof sky high, see how much we can take |
|
When they put you on the street, you can sit and watch the dawn |
|
But there's something you can do when you're last gold dollar's gone |
|
He's in his double breasted jacket and some cherry wing tip shoes |
|
Big 'ol hat with a feather high and a pocket flask of booze |
|
But he can't afford the treatments and there ain't no other cure |
|
Sad to say without no pay, he won't get well no more |
|
Then the night falls up on Broadway, the neon starts to shine |
|
The dancers in the love act are gettin' ready for the grind |
|
And there's a house rent party tonight, everybody shake |
|
People come from miles around, now we're gonna catch a break |
|
I know we're gonna make it, don't care what I have to do |
|
'Cause I know you'd do the same for me as I would do for you |
|
And there's a house rent party tonight |
|
So I bought a lucky ticket and pinned it to the shelf |
|
I put one away for you baby and kept one for myself |
|
I'm gonna take my winnings, I'm gonna disappear |
|
I'm gonna start a brand new band, we'll play anywhere but here |
|
'Cause nothin's comin' in, sugar, nothin's goin' out |
|
When there's nothin' left to talk about seems all we do is shout |
|
And there's a house rent party tonight, everybody shake |
|
We're gonna blow the roof sky high, see how much we can take |
|
'Cause nothin's comin' in, sugar, nothin's goin' out |
|
There's nothin' left to talk about and all we do is shout |
|
And there's a house rent party tonight |
