Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (Bob Dylan) |
| When you're lost in the rain in Juarez and it's Easter time too, When your gravity fails and negativity don't pull you through Don't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgan avenue They got some hungry women there and they really make a mess outa you! Sweet Linda, do the peasants call her the Goddess of Doom? She speaks good English and she invites you up into her room And you're so kind, too careful not to go to her too soon Then she steals your voice and leaves you howlin' at the moon! Up a housing project, hell it's either fortune or fame You must pick one or the other though neither of them is what they claim And if you're lookin' to get silly you better go back to where you came Because the cops don't need you and man, they expect the same! I started out on Burgundy and then I hit the harder stuff Everbody said they'd stand behind me when the game got rough But the joke was on me, there was nobody there to even call my bluff I'm goin' back to New York City, I do believe I've had enough! |
