|
Turning tricks on |
|
SunsetTwenty bucks a pop |
|
Some out of town ol' businessman or an undercover cop |
|
I'm living with the virus flowing way down in my veins |
|
Oh oh, I wish it would rain |
|
I know you've heard my story |
|
Or seen me on the street |
|
Just another cracker gigolo |
|
Dressed up like trick or treat |
|
Now you may want to judge me |
|
Or treat me with disdain |
|
Oh oh, I wish it would rain |
|
Memphis, Texas, |
|
Houston, Tennessee |
|
Man I'm just so turned around |
|
I don't know where |
|
I want to be |
|
This California desert is driving me insane |
|
Oh, I wish it would rain |
|
So I've squandered my resistance |
|
Taking any kind of drug |
|
Oh I'd smoke or shoot or eat it, |
|
I'd drink it from a jug |
|
And I offer no excuses for your sympathies to gain |
|
Oh oh, I wish it would rain |
|
Everybody knows me as the kid |
|
I've made it seven years and still |
|
I don't know how |
|
I didI come from a long line of live and love in vain |
|
Oh, I wish it would rain |
|
Well I've prayed to |
|
Mother Mary |
|
I've even seen a priest |
|
When the angels come to get me |
|
I know I'll be released |
|
I'll leave this mean ol' desert bound for |
|
Memphis on that train |
|
Oh oh, I wish it would rain |
|
Oh oh, I wish it would rain |
