Baby let's get dressed up I got two pairs of shoes Darling you look so beautiful When your hair's all hung in jewels And sometimes I find it really hard to choose Between a pair of black and a pair of brown shoes When I'm high on batwings Up by the silvery moon I think of a certain sad eyed king Trapped in his golden room And I dream of a cold river on the way To come and sweep that king into this black and brown bay Well the water looks like jewelry When it's coming out the spout And nothing could make me feel better Than a wet kiss on the mouth Fake I.D.'s and honeybees The jagged skyline of car keys I never knew the bird could fly so low Rub out the catlight, Rub out the village Red and white exit light That's exodus damage Why don't people think of who they use? Why don't you try and come and get me: Black and Brown Blues It's raining triple sec in Tchula And the radio plays "Crazy Train" There's a quadroon ball in the beehive Hanging out in the rain And when there's trouble I dont like running But I'm afraid I got more in common With who I was than who I am becoming When I go downtown I always wear a corduroy suit Cause it's made of a hundred gutters That the rain can run right through But a lonely man can't make a move If he can't even bring himself to choose Between a pair of black and a pair of brown shoes
