[00:01.58]	Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues
[00:19.99]	When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
[00:22.36]
[00:23.55]	And it's Eastertime too
[00:24.80]
[00:29.30]	And your gravity fails
[00:31.86]	And negativity don't pull you through
[00:34.80]
[00:39.42]	Don't put on any airs
[00:41.74]	When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
[00:44.42]
[00:48.80]	They got some hungry women there
[00:51.80]	And they really make a mess outa you.
[00:54.30]
[00:58.49]	Now if you see Saint Annie
[01:00.49]
[01:01.23]	Please tell her thanks a lot
[01:03.86]
[01:07.99]	I cannot move My fingers are all in a knot
[01:13.42]
[01:18.29]	I don't have the strength to get up and take another shot
[01:22.99]
[01:27.74]	And my best friend, my doctor won't even say what it is I've got.
[01:33.61]
[01:38.36]	Sweet Melinda
[01:39.11]
[01:39.98]	The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
[01:43.11]
[01:46.92]	She speaks good English
[01:49.17]	And she invites you up into her room
[01:51.73]
[01:56.79]	And you're so kind
[01:58.05]
[01:59.30]	And careful not to go to her too soon
[02:01.86]
[02:06.36]	And she takes your voice
[02:08.30]
[02:09.04]	And leaves you howling at the moon.
[02:11.67]
[02:15.79]	Up on Housing Project Hill
[02:17.79]
[02:19.42]	It's either fortune or fame
[02:21.04]
[02:25.42]	You must pick up one or the other
[02:28.17]	Though neither of them are to be what they claim
[02:31.55]
[02:35.36]	If you're lookin' to get silly
[02:37.04]
[02:37.92]	You better go back to from where you came
[02:41.04]
[02:44.79]	Because the cops don't need you
[02:47.67]	And man they expect the same.
[02:49.98]
[02:54.30]	Now all the authorities
[02:56.11]
[02:57.23]	They just stand around and boast
[02:59.54]
[03:03.98]	How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms
[03:06.54]
[03:07.29]	Into leaving his post
[03:09.42]
[03:13.61]	And picking up Angel who just arrived here from the coast
[03:18.79]
[03:22.92]	Who looked so fine at first but left looking just like a ghost.
[03:28.92]
[04:09.98]	I started out on burgundy
[04:12.36]
[04:13.29]	But soon hit the harder stuff
[04:15.98]
[04:19.73]	Everybody said they'd stand behind me
[04:22.61]
[04:23.35]	When the game got rough
[04:25.10]
[04:29.10]	But the joke was on me
[04:31.48]	There was nobody even there to bluff
[04:34.73]
[04:38.54]	I'm going back to New York City
[04:41.29]	I do believe I've had enough.
