Late John Garfield Blues
Verse 1:Black faces pressed against the glass Where the wind leaned its weight Wind blows scars and top down cars All share one western trait Sadness leaks through tear stained cheeks From winos to dime store Jews Probably don't know they gave me These late John Garfield blues Verse 2:Midnight fell on Franklin street The lamp bulbs's always broke For the life of me i could not see But i heard a brand new joke Two man were standing on a bridge One jumped and screamed you lose Just left the odd man holding These late John Garfield blues Verse 3:I'm going away to the last resort In a week or two real soon Where the fish don't bite but once a night In the dark light of the moon Horses scream their nightmare dreams And the dead men all wear shoes 'Cause everybody's dancing These late John Garfield blues Aus Songtexte Mania
