Stoops so fine on a summers eve
When you sit outside for a short reprieve
Talk to folks as they come and leave
Jono, jay, and crazy steve.
Night is down but its bright as day
You havent been around since you went away
Feels so good so thats what you say
Folks say hi, but you say, "hey."
Well, that old mad dog, hes barking for the blues bone
Orpheus got a black book and a telephone
Plays that lyre cause he doesnt want to be alone;
One look back.......
Buy a beer, find a place to stand
Have a couple laughs and hear the band
Smoke a couple of your favorite brand
Wake up with a stamp on the back of your hand.
Dont blame me, its all been larabys gang, now, now.
Dont blame me for the song that the nightingale sang, now, now.
Dont blame me bout the vanishing waif,
Dont blame me if your safe aint safe, now, now.
Sun comes up, youre still awake.
Theres the sky, still as a lake.
Not even that can drown the ache,
Looks so high, it must be fake.
