At my so-sorry mannequin frown The porter sings as he begins To clean up the mess that we've made The Christmas trees are cast on the street And garbage trucks block Hooper Lane My head's in pain but I can't complain 'Cause my sweetheart waits down the line And in a while we'll be in a house by the sea Even if just in my mind Roll on, Arte roll on Your heart's too good for this town Your eyes cast through the glass At my starry American frown My mouth ain't fed, my lips ain't cherry red And my grin might show my bad teeth And all the people I pass, they give me a glance As if I'm some low class thief But to you I'm fine, and I'm in your mind Even if I'm not around And my arms are strong and that's where you belong Given the love that we've found Roll on, Arte roll on Your heart's too good for this town Your eyes cast through the glass At your so-sorry Marilyn frown

Let me love you from behind, my darling Powder your nose, pull on your pantyhose We're going down to my bout, my darling Before the bell would ring He had a way like Errol Flynn As he sauntered to the ring with a sheet on But the late rounds scared the girl Heaven knows she thought the world of Lou It was hard to see him sway in the neon Joey was a no one Just some big dumb kid from Flushing He had a face like a ugly bull, always pouting He hit Louie kind of low And he stumbled on the ropes As the bookies blocked the rows, they were shouting Powder your nose... The blows hit hard and loud He could hardly hear the crowd In the bleachers where they howled, they were cheering I remember in the eighth It was clear that Lou was fading When something caught his eye by the ceiling He saw her as she spoke Through the shifting yellow smoke She said, Louie you look bad, are you dying? But Louie could not answer His eyes were cast up to the rafters And they slowly sealed in silence Powder your nose...

Tomorrow we'll be through these rains and gone Woke up with the driver crying Birmingham Looked through the glass and found the morning sky I said that cloud's shaped like a burning man You didn't have the heart to tell me why Your belly in my arms Tomorrow we'll be through these clouds and gone I put my hand inside your skirt And asked if you thought that our baby's life would turn out this way You said you wasn't really sure But really you was too good to say it Your belly in my arms Tomorrow we'll be through these clouds and gone

And bury this here gun And play my widow In the kitchen window In the last of the falling sun Show me mercy Won't you nurse these wounds of mine Rinse and sew me up Baby your eyes were Like a pale blue Chrysler Drive us to the sun Sure am thirsty Show me mercy, Molly girl Lift your pitcher to my mouth Close your eyelids In the smoky silence With your black hair falling down Show me mercy Show me mercy, Mary girl Bury this here gun With Jesus laughing Now you see what happens When devils fall in love Show me mercy Smokestack curse the churchyard air Where a virgin weeps for us With Jesus laughing In the breezy blackness Where devils fall in love Where devils fall in love

Christmas Song

Well a cold wind did come up and blew my hat off I could not catch up, I guess I'm just a sad dove I'm starting to find that I was not made for these times Well it blew its way westward and fell in some river I saw me a horse there, he looked familiar When he started running like a straight away demon I used to run like that, you should've seen me I'm starting to find that I was not made for these times There was a girl drowning in the river so I pulled her to shore I breathed her breath back, she said, "Ain't I seen you before?" I said, "You might've me seen me chasing my hat If you see it you can have it" I'm starting to find that I was not made for these times

Going, going, gone I remember your eyes were soft In the doorway as you saw me off You say we're young and I'll admit But we ain't that innocent We're going, going, gone Going, going, gone Black cloud falling on a field Throwing rain on my windshield But it don't matter 'cause I left behind The type of vision that rain can blind I'm going, going, gone Going, going, gone Going, going, gone Going, going, gone Can't keep no steady job With an unsteady mind, my God So I'll walk these yellow lines 'Til they turn into golden vines
