"Honest to goodness
The bars weren't open this morning They must have been voting for a new president or something Do you have a quarter?" I said yes because I did, "Honest to goodness The tears have been falling All over the country's face." It was better before Before they voted for what's-his-name This was supposed to be the new world Flint, Ford, Auto, Mobile, Alabama, Windshield wipers, Buffalo, New York, Gary, Indiana Don't forget the Motor City This was supposed to be the new world All we need is money Just give us what you can spare Twenty or thirty pounds of potatoes Or 20 or 30 beers A turkey on Thanksgiving Like alms for the poor All we need are the necessities and more It was better before before they voted for what's-his-name This was supposed to be the new world Don't forget the Motor City This was supposed to be the new world (REPEAT) |

on the golden road... someone carved our initials in the stone. i dreamed of curly blackhair... when you were there. our first rendevous... was in the devil's workshop come true. this was dirty, dark no-place... for a beautiful face. so why do you want to throw another chain... around my heart? and even i was a winner... even was if it was for a little while. you cut me and smile. while my so-called friends... quickly turned into strangers. you're the one that i love. so why do you want to throw another chain... around my heart? you don't even know me... anyway, i'm all torn up from yesterday. so why do you want to throw another chain... around my heart? you don't even know me... anyway, i'm all screwed up from yesterday. so why do you want to throw another chain... around my heart? why do you want to throw another chain... around my heart?

Blue spark
He waits in a beach apartment Blue spark Thousands of lights, thousands of people She's forgotten him for the bodies around her Blue shock, exchange Blue shock, exchange Blue spark What goes between the eyes downtown Blue spark Oh, loudspeakers and search lights the boulevard She comes home later just to give him Blue shock, exchange Blue shock, exchange Blue spark Blue spark Blue spark |

She won't get out of bed and shake her snakey hair
Grab her, throw her in the tub She says, "Coffee and a piece of pie" She never wears a dress on Sunday or any Monday afternoon This is no goddamn country to wander alone Devil doll, devil doll Rags and bones and battered shoes Devil doll, devil doll People turn their heads She scares little kids Eyes narrow, jaw is set She'll fix you with a stare She keeps her body hidden Lets her eyes make her bid I'd wrap her up in a bullet and shoot her around the world Devil doll, devil doll Rags and bones and battered shoes Devil doll, devil doll Devil doll, devil doll |

they can't go to sleep at four
the car is parked outside the door scars of a knife on his arm her husband knows they're together riding with Mary protection to pass riding with mary protecting immaculate love rows of numbered doors behind the car warms up the street is clear and empty and green with lights they talk and never stop moving he's sounding her name in his head she's falling asleep next to his face her sister's getting married today and the saints of Easter smile riding with Mary protection to pass riding with mary protecting immaculate love on the dashboard rides a figurine a powerless sweet forgotten thing so the next time you see a statue of Mary remember my sister was in a car riding with Mary protection to pass riding with mary protecting immaculate love |
