Artist:nina simone Songs Title:just like tom thumb’s blues youre When lost in the rain in juarez its And easter time too And your gravity fails And negativity dont pull you through Dont put on any airs When youre down on rue morgue avenue They got some hungry women there And they really make a mess out of you Now if you see saint annie tell Please her thanks a lot I cannot move My fingers are all in a knot I dont have the strength To get up and take another shot And my best friend my doctor Wont even say what it is I have got Sweet melinda The peasants call her the goddess of gloom speaks She good english And she invites you up into her room And youre so kind And careful not to go to her too soon And then she takes your voice And leaves you howling at the moon ............. Up on housing project hill Its either fortune or fame You can take one or the other Though neither of them Are to be what they claim If youre looking to get silly You better go back from where you came Because the cops dont need you And man they expect the same the Now authoritiesall just They stand around and boast Hew they blackmailed the sergeant at arms Into leaving his post And picking up my brother car who Just arrived here from the coast Who looked so fine at first But left looking just like a ghost well like they ghost i seed I when started out on burgundy But soon hit the harder stuff Everybody said theyd stand behind me When the game got rough ah But the joke was on me There was nobody even there to bluff Im going back to new york city I do believe Ive had enough
