lyrics

You flew in on a plane from New York City,
Wound up in this old town battered and broke
Come Monday you could still taste all the weekends whiskey
And your throat took note of every cigarette that you smoked

Now you’re standing in the middle of it all like a rabbit in the headlights
Every instinct in you telling you to turn and run,
But you’re routed to the spot where you’re standing there in the twilight,
Watching it all pass you by, feeling like the only one who’s been

Dancing with the devils down on Dean Street
Shadow boxing monsters on the wall
Staying sober it’s not easy Lord in times like these
It’s a wander there’s any liquor left in this world at all

You only sing the blues because you need something to believe in
I ask myself again say why won’t you believe in me
As I set fire to your shoes just to stop you from leaving
Now your feet are bloody, bare and raw once more and roaming free, and

Dancing with the devils down on Dean Street
Shadow boxing monsters on the wall
Staying sober it’s not easy Lord in times like these
It’s a wander there’s any liquor left in this world at all

The ghosts at the lodgings all listen to Bobby Gentry
Blasting out the solitary speakers of a gramophone
This is the moment of the event of the century
But all you can seem to think about is getting stoned, and

Dancing with the devils down on Dean Street
Shadow boxing monsters on the wall
Staying sober it’s not easy Lord in times like these
It’s a wander there’s any liquor left in this world at all

The courtyard of the convent really wasn’t the place for your loving
As mother superior was only to keen to point out
But that was much ado, much ado about nothing
Though much a fretting and fussing was made about it

This is just a song about things I have seen and seen to be done
And when it comes to witnesses I’m surely not the only one
Who dares to be heard and seen to be heard and heard to be seen
Without denying all the times that I might have been
