The Last Honest Man — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

A crowd came in and sat down

Then a man began to yell

About savin souls to heaven

And for the sinner, there was hell

But later on that night

In a hotel room down the road

He kept his meeting for a cat-o-nine beating

From a leather-clad man named moe



Chorus:

An honest man

Were looking for the last honest man

An honest man

Were looking for (keep searchin for) the last honest man







Theres a man who moves the masses

On a big-city radio dial

He shouts and screams at all hes seen

Runs a talk show like a trial

And theres a bartender keepin secrets

About a boxer that took a dive

And in an office way uptown, a deal is goin down

That could get somebody four to five





Chorus repeat x2





Now well keep looking high and low

And well keep searching round

Is everybody, everyone

Dishonest in this town?

Well, theyll stab you in the back

You get a handshake and a smile

But if one dont get ya, the other one will

And ya gotta walk that mile, lookin for





Chorus repeat x3
