Текст песни:

Well the room was pink and the signs were serious
Paperback dolls being slammed delirious
Feeling like a joke in the bar underneath
And it was Saturday night in the year of the good thief

Well I tumbled up the stairs the wrong way ’round
I hit my head on the ceiling when my feet hit the ground
And then the big dumb blonde in the gold fish bowl
Cried Ella’s in the band but she’s got no soul!
My friend John was a serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half done
Lazy old boy when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber soles burn
When will he ever learn?

Well the night was spent and my money was young
And then I had to get home before my neck was wrung
And everybody danced in the same old way

And if I’m feeling old and desperate I’ll be back some day
My friend John was a serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half done
Lazy old boy when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber soles burn
When will he ever learn?

  • Ghost lights on the water almost makes you shiver Black dog at 4:00 am, oh baby, just surrender When you’ve had enough of all this entertainment Come to me and I’ll slip you the answer Take the long road when in doubt Take the long road and you’ll find your way out Keep the needle spinning ’round Find a place and just lay your body down Find a place and just lay your body down Headlights, alarm bells always kept you moving Red sun sets and daydreams, baby, just you keep ’em coming When you’ve had enough of all of your creations Come to me and I’ll show you the river Take the long road when in doubt Take the long road and you’ll find your way out Keep the needle spinning round Find a place and just lay your body down Find a place and just lay your body down And you hide And you hide yourself away And you hide And you hide yourself away Take the long road when in doubt Take the long road and you’ll find your way out Keep the needle spinning ’round Find a place and just lay your body down Find a place and just lay your body down Find a place and just lay your body down
  • [Verse 1] Well, just because she feeds me well And she made me talk dirty in a pink hotel It doesn't mean she's got eyes for me She might just want my bones, you see And hey flathead, don't you get mean She's the second best killer that I ever have seen They don't come much more sick than you I could go on if you want me to It's just so wrong, so very nice And I told you once and you killed me twice I saw you one time at the back of the club Chewing on glass and a ticket stub [Pre-Chorus] I heard they kicked the boy 'til he bled Then stood and said "oh my god", 'til she said [Chorus] Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da [Verse 2] Well, everybody knows you're the one to call When the girls get ugly 'round the back of the wall And Josephine says you got a bleeding nose Taking it with her or wherever she goes And hey flathead, don't check me in Well, hers is a tonic and mine is a gin They don't come much more slick than you I'd drive your car if you ask me to [Pre-Chorus] Said the boy's not right in the head And you stood and got a kicking instead, 'til she said [Chorus] Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da [Interlude] Ba, da-da-da-da [Harmonizing Bridge] Aa-aa-aa-ah Aa-aa-aa-ah Aa-aa-aa-ah Aa-aa-aa-ah [Pre-Chorus] And she said the boy's not right in the head And you stood and said "oh my god", 'til she said [Chorus] Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da Ba-da dop, da, da, da, da, da

  • Pleased to meet you baby I’m your fool I’m the patron saint of the cruel There’s a dark room in my soul When I hear your name baby I lose control Here me now here me now Here me now here me now There’s nothing very much I wouldn’t do to catch your eye And you can’t see me now see me now See me now see me now There’s just too many things I’m haunted by I’m no loser but I can’t win I’m the right man in the wrong skin I could be our holy ghost But I’ll be deaf dumb and blind when you need me most Here me now here me now Here me now here me now There’s nothing very much I wouldn’t do to catch your eye And you can’t see me now see me now See me now see me now There’s just too many things I’m haunted by And though my nights are strange There’s a voice inside my head I would not change every now and then I see my friends pass by but I’ve got nothing more to say except a long goodbye And though I try It’s clear to see that I’m a desperate guy Pleased to meet you baby I’m your fool I’m the patron saint of the cruel There’s a dark room in my soul When I hear your name baby I lose control Here me now here me now Here me now here me now There’s nothing very much I wouldn’t do to catch your eye And you can’t see me now see me now See me now see me now There’s just too many things I’m haunted by And though my nights are strange there’s a voice inside my head I would not change Every now and then I see my friends pass by but I’ve got nothing more to say except a long goodbye And though I try It’s clear to see that I’m a desperate guy
