[00:20.53] |
A cab combs the snake |
[00:21.74] |
|
[00:22.71] |
Tryin to rake in that last nights fare |
[00:27.53] |
And a solitary sailor |
[00:29.51] |
Who spends the facts of his life |
[00:31.72] |
Like small change on strangers |
[00:36.95] |
Paws his inside p-coat pocket |
[00:40.33] |
For a welcome twenty-five cents |
[00:44.51] |
And the last bent butt |
[00:46.13] |
From a package of kents |
[00:47.97] |
As he dreams of a waitress |
[00:49.78] |
With maxwell house eyes |
[00:51.83] |
And marmalade thighs |
[00:53.68] |
With scrambled yellow hair |
[00:55.21] |
|
[00:57.80] |
Her rhinestone-studded moniker says irene |
[01:01.24] |
|
[01:02.85] |
As she wipes the wisps of |
[01:05.03] |
Dishwater blonde from her eyes |
[01:06.84] |
|
[01:21.83] |
And the texaco beacon burns on |
[01:26.43] |
The steel-belted attendant |
[01:27.96] |
With a ring and valve special |
[01:31.04] |
Cryin filler up and check that oil |
[01:34.56] |
You know it could be a distributor |
[01:36.22] |
And it could be a coil |
[01:39.84] |
|
[01:43.41] |
The early mornin final editions on the stands |
[01:46.25] |
|
[01:48.42] |
And that town cryers cryin there |
[01:50.73] |
With nickels in his hands |
[01:55.65] |
Pigs in a blanket sixty-nine cents |
[01:59.30] |
Eggs-roll em over and a package of kents |
[02:03.76] |
Adam and eve on a log |
[02:05.25] |
You can sink em damn straight |
[02:07.92] |
Hash browns hash browns |
[02:09.43] |
You know I cant late be |
[02:13.57] |
|
[02:32.77] |
And the early dawn cracks |
[02:34.51] |
Out a carpet of diamond |
[02:37.14] |
Across a cash crop car lot |
[02:39.61] |
Filled with twilight coupe devilles |
[02:43.34] |
Leaving the town in a-keeping |
[02:47.04] |
Of the one who is sweeping |
[02:48.81] |
|
[02:55.07] |
Up the ghost of saturday night |
