about

A track influenced by TS Eliots Prelude…misty streets, dead cafes

lyrics

Dead Cafe

Walking down a road that never ends
Through a city of acquaintances, but not friends
There's a crack of light from a barroom door
I smell the burnt out ends of the night before

Chorus

Somebody take me, take me home
I've ben too long walking these streets alone
Come on babe I need a place to rest
If I give you my money would you give me your best


Across the street I can see a dead cafe
With a sign on the window, not open no way
There's a cadaver lying in the entrance hall
And somebody wiping blood off the kitchen wall


Chorus

In an all night bar I watch the people pass by
I see the pocked-marked moon in the burgundy sky
Come the painted morning and the promise of the sun
Hitch up your skirts take the money and run

Chorus
