| [00:29.36] |
I started out on burgundy |
| [00:31.93] |
But soon hit the harder stuff |
| [00:38.98] |
My friends all said that they'd stand beside me |
| [00:43.16] |
After the gun run rough |
| [00:48.46] |
But the joke was on me |
| [00:50.93] |
There was nobody even there to call my bluff |
| [00:57.98] |
I'm going back to New York City |
| [01:00.36] |
I do believe I've had enough |
| [01:13.11] |
Sweet Melinda |
| [01:14.82] |
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom |
| [01:21.73] |
She speaks good English |
| [01:23.79] |
And she invites you up into her room |
| [01:30.54] |
And you're so kind |
| [01:32.60] |
And careful not to go to her too soon |
| [01:40.11] |
And she steals your voice |
| [01:43.03] |
And leaves you howling at the moon |
| [02:26.21] |
When you're lost in the rain in Juarez |
| [02:29.95] |
And it's Eastertime too |
| [02:35.44] |
And your gravity fails |
| [02:37.90] |
And negativity don't pull you through |
| [02:45.12] |
Don't put on any airs |
| [02:47.50] |
When you're down on rue morgue avenue |
| [02:54.01] |
They got some hungry women there |
| [02:57.14] |
And they really make a mess outa you |
| [03:03.75] |
Up on Housing Project Hill |
| [03:07.17] |
It's either fortune or fame |
| [03:13.01] |
You must pick up one or the other |
| [03:16.80] |
Though neither of them are to be what they claim |
| [03:22.32] |
If you're lookin' to get silly |
| [03:24.49] |
You better go back to from where you came |
| [03:32.06] |
Because the cops don't need you here |
| [03:35.24] |
And what they expect the same |
| [04:28.19] |
