come and thumb through me like a paper bag
Then throw me on back on the pile
My phrases will come
back to you in stages
Wanna come back after a while
Now I like getting to stuff
It's your almost as much as
throwing them away
If we ain't twelve,
we'll stay in lousy hotels
Be sure when the sun sleeps on down
We'll dance and even
if no one's watching
I'll present you, take a bow
My potency isn't poetry
It's more like sunset crouching
down past the shrine
Look me in the eye
and come get to know me
one drink at a time
Look me in the eye
and come get to know me
one drink at a time
What's tragic can become magical
When the night's like a scene,
it's a cad
All my mysteries have
no history
They're as dull as the sock on my foot
Each afternoon round five
I will be soon to expire
I'm magnetized to the taverns, I'm hooked
I feel you're the same, you can catch it
This life absurd,
it's rapture and rhyme
Look me in the eye and then
come get to know me
one drink at a time
Look me in the eye and then
come get to know me
one drink at a time
What's tragic can become magical
When the night swag is in it's cat
I look me in the eye
and I can't get to know me,
won't you cut it tight?
I look me in the eye
and I can't get to know me,
won't you cut it tight?
What's tragic can become magical
When the night's where it's in,
it's a cat
When the night's your day, it's a cat
When the night is gone,
it's a cat
You
