stood on the street the other night
|
in full moonlight
|
barefoot and oh dirtied
|
my dress was goin' away
|
|
there I was meetin' up with a man
|
for the payoff
|
faithful and unhenpecked
|
I somewhat recollect
|
|
soon she heard me
|
siren she wailed
|
Queen Spelling Bee she nailed me
|
by name
|
|
IT'S NOT ALLRIGHT WITH ME
|
|
what am I doin' out on the street?
|
I'm ashamed dear
|
good boy he beats it
|
I tear myself downtown
|
|
God has let me release a sting
|
in my own eye
|
walk home to just nightmares
|
no angels on the phone
|
