Tonight's the night when the waters rise |
|
You're groping in the dark |
|
The ticket takers count the men who can afford the arc |
|
The ticket takers will not board |
|
For the ticket takers are tied |
|
For five and change an hour |
|
They will count the passers by |
|
They say the sky's the limit |
|
But the sky's about to fall |
|
Down come all them record books cradle and all |
|
They say before he bit it |
|
That the boxer felt no pain |
|
But somewhere there's a gamblin' man |
|
With a ticket in the rain |
|
Mary Anne, |
|
I know I'm a long shot |
|
But Mary Anne, what else have you got |
|
I am a ticket taker, many tickets have |
|
I tornAnd |
|
I will be your arc, we will float above the storm |
|
Many years have passed in this river town |
|
I've sailed through many traps |
|
I keep a stock of weapons should society collapse |
|
I keep a stock of amo |
|
One of oil and one of gold |
|
I keep a place for |
|
Mary AnneSoon she will come home |
