[00:13.310]Down in the cellar in the Boho zone
[00:17.940]I went looking for some sweet inspiration, oh well
[00:23.814]Just another hard-time band
[00:27.853]With Negro affectations
[00:31.781]I was a hopeful in rooms like this
[00:35.608]When I was working cheap
[00:39.890]It's an old romance-the Boho dance
[00:45.073]It hasn't gone to sleep
[00:48.007]
[00:49.621]But even on the scuffle
[00:53.610]The cleaner's press was in my jeans
[00:58.074]And any eye for detail
[01:01.088]Caught a little lace along the seams
[01:08.588]
[01:17.193]And you were in the parking lot
[01:20.410]Subterranean by your own design
[01:25.489]The virtue of your style inscribed
[01:29.796]On your contempt for mine
[01:34.280]Jesus was a beggar, he was rich in grace
[01:38.599]And Solomon kept his head in all his glory
[01:43.190]It's just that some steps outside the Boho dance
[01:47.948]Have a fascination for me
[01:50.983]
[01:52.593]A camera pans the cocktail hour
[01:55.902]Behind a blind of potted palms
[02:01.339]And finds a lady in a Paris dress
[02:05.554]With runs in her nylons
[02:10.210]
[02:29.178]You read those books where luxury
[02:32.180]Comes as a guest to take a slave
[02:37.477]Books where artists in noble poverty
[02:41.559]Go like virgins to the grave
[02:46.519]Don't you get sensitive on me
[02:49.971]Cause I know you're just too proud
[02:55.230]You couldn't step outside the Boho dance now
[03:00.610]Even if good fortune allowed
[03:03.761]
[03:04.706]Like a priest with a pornographic watch
[03:07.951]Looking and longing on the sly
[03:12.899]Sure it's stricken from your uniform
[03:17.249]But you can't get it out of your eyes
[03:21.904]Nothing is capsulized in me
[03:26.076]On either side of town
[03:30.788]The streets were never really mine
[03:34.849]Not mine these glamour gowns
[03:40.193]
