Lyrics:
an opera out on the Turnpike
There's a ballet being fought out in the alley
Until the local cops, Cherry-Tops, rips this holy night
The street's alive
with a pound and stay low
Runnin' through the alley into the melee
Up on the second the sun down
Those run from January, November, December
I'm
and smack
All I wanted to do was rape the bitch and snatch her purse
Now I want to kill her
But so I gotta catch her first
Ran threw alleys, parkin' lots,
to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat
I tried to get away but I
ten inch stump
Dressed like a priest you was
Todd Browning's freak you was
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
I'm sure you're not
many reasons why
And there but for fortune, may go you or I
Show me the alley, show me the train,
Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain,
down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
A man in the coonskin cap, in the pig pen
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten
Maggie comes
Well, I saw uncle John with bald headed Sally
He saw aunt Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley
Oh baby, yeah baby, woo baby
Havin' me some fun
don't go
Some places red's all they know
But not our luck
Tonight we was real fucked
Broke down an alley
And we instantly had to duck
Fuckin' police
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city
Son
Well now me and Homer and Big John Talley
Had a big crap game goin' back in the alley
And I kept rollin' them sevens and winnin' all them
to their side (fuck with us)
See the table and the chair
Have come to take the air (y'all, say it y'all)
But in going down an alley
To a castle in
throw it in the corner
Don't see why you can't stay a little longer
Well you ought to see my blue eyed Sally
She lives away down on Shinbone Alley
Just got back from the downtown Palais
Where the music was so sweet
It knocked me right back in the alley
I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready
Wo,
Alley
Number on the gate the number on the door
The next house over is the grocery store
Stay all night stay a little longer
Dance all night dance
on Shinbone Alley
The number on the gate, the number on the door
The next house over is the grocery store
Stay all night, stay a little longer
Dance all
a man with a whip
On his silver lip
Living inside my eyes
I'm the cat from the alley
I'm the fleetfoot vodoo man
There's very little that's ever
love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Night was dark, the sky was blue
Down the alley we was swingin' through
Lord, I heard just what I seen
When shadows beckon on dim-lit avenues
Night people hear the call
From hidden alleys, secret rendezvous
They come out one and all
The city by night
and restless and bored
Living by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, the alley, the trusty woods
I used her she used me, but
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies
Deadman lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes
Don't let
Crazy Janey and her mission man
Were back in the alley tradin' hands
'Long came Wild Billy with his friend G-Man
All duded up for Saturday night
low, Saint Cadillac
Tearin' down the alley
And I'm reachin' so high for ya
Don't let 'em take me back
Broken like valiums and chumps in the rain
be, let me be?
Ain't got no money
I got to play in the alleys, ain't got no pride
Just took everything out of me, I got it sad
Got to make it alone
