Invitation To The Blues - Holly Cole |
| [00:25.83] |
Well she's up against the register with an apron and a spatula |
| [00:33.33] |
Yesterday's deliveries the tickets for the bachelors |
| [00:39.81] |
She's a moving violation from her conk down to her shoes |
| [00:50.08] |
She says How you gonna like 'em over medium or scrambled |
| [00:58.48] |
Anyways the only way be careful not to gamble |
| [01:03.94] |
On a guy with a suitcase and a ticket getting out of here |
| [01:10.88] |
A tired bus station old pair of shoes |
| [01:15.99] |
This nothing but an invitation to the blues |
| [01:24.51] |
You can't take your eyes off her get another cup of java |
| [01:31.41] |
It's just the way she pours it for you joking with the customers |
| [01:38.15] |
Mercy mercy Mr Percy there's nothing back in Jersey |
| [01:46.83] |
But a broken-down jalopy and a dream I was chasing |
| [01:53.73] |
A battle with the booze an open invitation to the blues |
| [02:10.20] |
She used to have a sugar daddy and a candy-apple Caddy |
| [02:18.21] |
And a bank account and everything accustomed to the finer things |
| [02:24.04] |
He probably left her for a socialite and never loved her 'cept at night |
| [02:30.46] |
And then he's drunk and he never even told her that he cared |
| [02:36.51] |
So they took the registration her car-keys and her shoes |
| [02:42.55] |
And left her with an invitation to the blues |
| [02:57.18] |
There's a Continental Trailways leaving local bus tonight good evening |
| [03:04.42] |
You can have my seat I'm sticking round here for a while |
| [03:09.45] |
Get me a room at the Squire where the filling station's hiring |
| [03:15.74] |
I can eat here every night what the hell have I got to lose |
| [03:23.20] |
Got a crazy sensation go or stay I've gotta choose |
| [03:33.27] |
I accept your invitation to the blues |
