[01:02.80]When you're lost in the rain in juarez
[01:08.13]And it's eastertime too
[01:10.26]
[01:13.92]And your gravity fails
[01:16.10]
[01:16.87]And negativity don't pull you through
[01:18.95]
[01:23.97]Don't put on any airs
[01:26.30]
[01:27.13]When you're down on rue morgue avenue
[01:32.79]
[01:34.10]They got some hungry women there
[01:36.71]
[01:37.22]And they really make a mess outa you
[01:40.30]
[01:43.95]Now if you see saint annie
[01:46.04]
[01:47.65]Please tell her thanks a lot
[01:50.17]
[01:54.25]I cannot move
[01:56.46]
[01:57.52]My fingers are all in a knot
[01:59.57]
[02:04.81]I don't have the strength
[02:06.30]
[02:07.30]To get up and take another shot
[02:14.86]
[02:15.55]And my best friend my doctor
[02:17.56]Won't even say what it is I've got
[02:22.21]
[02:26.05]Sweet melinda
[02:26.72]
[02:28.58]The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
[02:31.09]
[02:34.62]She speaks good English
[02:36.53]
[02:37.81]And she invites you up into her room
[02:40.32]
[02:44.72]And you're so kind
[02:46.39]
[02:47.92]And careful not to go to her too soon
[02:52.22]
[02:54.94]And she takes your voice
[02:57.18]
[02:57.91]And leaves you howling at the moon
[03:01.40]
[03:04.01]Up on housing project hill
[03:07.65]
[03:08.63]It's either fortune or fame
[03:11.17]
[03:14.71]You must pick up one or the other
[03:17.39]
[03:18.14]Though neither of them are to be what they claim
[03:21.04]
[03:24.25]If you're lookin' to get silly
[03:26.58]
[03:27.91]You better go back to from where you came
[03:33.58]
[03:34.81]Because the cops don't need you
[03:37.67]And man they expect the same
[03:42.88]
[03:44.62]Now all the authorities
[03:46.91]
[03:48.29]They just stand around and boast
[03:50.59]
[03:54.51]How they blackmailed the sergeant at arms
[03:57.67]
[03:58.19]Into leaving his post
[04:00.34]
[04:04.35]And picking up angel who
[04:06.28]
[04:07.66]Just arrived here from the coast
[04:12.49]
[04:14.57]Who looked so fine at first
[04:16.56]
[04:17.63]But left looking just like a ghost
[04:23.72]
[05:03.12]I started out on burgundy
[05:05.96]
[05:06.74]But soon hit the harder stuff
[05:09.29]
[05:13.42]Everybody said they'd stand behind me
[05:15.84]
[05:17.15]When the game got rough
[05:19.45]
[05:23.80]But the joke was on me
[05:25.85]
[05:26.51]There was nobody even there to bluff
[05:33.68]I'm going back to New York city
[05:36.41]I do believe I've had enough
