The Ugly Americans

Nothing to Lose
You better double up our double downI heard that Lenny Spooks was deadThey're putting shiny copper penniesOn his tiny little headHorses they still runLadies of the nightStill walk these streets in patent leather shoesThey're is blood on every cornerBut momma I don't mindYou know I ain't got nothing to loseThey said we were gonna have a good timeThey said that everyone was invitedWe all went down to Hollywood CaliforniaBut honey don't get too excitedThey'll tie you to the railroad spineThey'll run you through your pacesThey'll leave you stranded in the shadowsDying in the pewsTill you ain't got nothing to loseTime may come and heal the pain inside my heartBut I know these scars they will never fade awayTomorrow's not a promise that's what she used to saySongtexteBoy you just be lucky that you eve got todayAnd though I'm barely breathing I ain't shaking in my shoesYou know I ain't got nothing to loseYou better double up or double downYou know there ain't know way to fight itNot with your nickel plated shirt stainsNot with your bottles of dilaudedYou're lying in the sun drowning in the nightYou got everything 'cept something I can useThere's blood on every corner but momma I don't mindYou know I ain't got nothing to lose Aus Songtexte Mania
