It's a beggars life, said the Queen of Spain
|
But don't tell it to a poor man
|
'Cause he's got to kill for every thrill
|
The best he can
|
Everywhere around me
|
I see jealousy and mayhem
|
Because no men have all their peace of mind
|
To carry them
|
Well I don't really care
|
If it's wrong or if it's right
|
But until my ship comes in
|
I'll live night by night
|
|
When the joker tried to tell me
|
I could cut it in this rube town
|
When he tried to hang that sign on me
|
I said Take it down
|
When the dawn patrol got to tell you twice
|
They're gonna do it with a shotgun
|
Yes, I'm cashing in this ten-cent life
|
For another one
|
|
Well I ain't got the heart
|
To lose another fight
|
So until my ship comes in
|
I'll live night by night
|
|
Well I don't really care
|
If it's wrong or if it's right
|
But until my ship comes in
|
I'll live night by night
|
