Ambulance Blues Lyrics |
||
 Back in the old folky daysThe air was magic when we played. The riverboat was rockin` in the rain Midnight was the time for the raid. Oh, Isabela, proud Isabela, They tore you down and plowed you under. You`re only real with your make-up on How could I see you and stay too long? All along the Navajo Trail, Burn-outs stub their toes on garbage pails. Waitresses are cryin` in the rain Will their boyfriends pass this way again? Oh, Mother Goose, she`s on the skids Sure ain`t happy, neither are the kids. She needs someone that she can scream at And I`m such a heel for makin` her feel so bad. I guess I`ll call it sickness gone It`s hard to say the meaning of this song. An ambulance can only go so fast It`s easy to get buried in the past When you try to make a good thing last. I saw today in the entertainment section There`s room at the top for private detection. To Mom and Dad this just doesn`t matter, But it`s either that or pay off the kidnapper. So all you critics sit alone You`re no better than me for what you`ve shown. With your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams We could get together for some scenes. I never knew a man could tell so many lies He had a different story for every set of eyes. How can he remember who he`s talkin` to? `Cause I know it ain`t me, and I hope it isn`t you. Well, I`m up in T.O. keepin` jive alive, And out on the corner it`s half past five. But the subways are empty And so are the cafes. Except for the Farmer`s Market And I still can hear him say: You`re all just pissin` in the wind You don`t know it but you are. And there ain`t nothin` like a friend Who can tell you you`re just pissin` in the wind. I never knew a man could tell so many lies He had a different story for every set of eyes How can he remember who he`s talking to? Cause I know it ain`t me, and hope it isn`t you. |
