| The motel lights were blinkin'
|
| On my chartreuse four door Lincoln
|
| On the dock the fish were stinkin'
|
| I simply didn’t have a care
|
| And the old men sit 'round the cracker barrels
|
| The children hum their Christmas carols
|
| The train tracks all run parallel
|
| But they’ll all meet up one day
|
| On a dusty pew in a vestibule
|
| Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
|
| He’s waiting for the next poor fool
|
| Who forgot that it was Sunday
|
| We used to tell each other lies
|
| With our orange plastic button eyes
|
| In a former life on a motel chair
|
| I was Charlie Parker’s teddy bear
|
| Yeah, me and Bird we’d stay up late
|
| I used to watch him contemplate
|
| While his horn would sit by the window and
|
| Wait till it was time for him to blow it
|
| On a dusty pew in a vestibule
|
| Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
|
| He’s waiting for the next poor fool
|
| Who forgot that it was Sunday
|
| The only song I ever knew
|
| Was «Moonlight Bay on the Avenue»
|
| These are the tales from the Devil’s chin
|
| Charlie I could’ve been a contender
|
| And the old men sit round the cracker barrels
|
| The children hum their Christmas carols
|
| The train tracks all run parallel
|
| But they’ll all meet up one day
|
| On a dusty pew in a vestibule
|
| Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
|
| He’s waiting for the next poor fool
|
| Who forgot that it was Sunday
|
| Who forgot that it was Sunday. |
