[00:02.63]	Songs Title：just like tom thumb’s blues
[00:10.60]	youre When lost in the rain in juarez
[00:14.86]	its And easter time too
[00:20.51]	And your gravity fails
[00:22.76]	And negativity dont pull you through
[00:30.53]	Dont put on any airs
[00:33.71]	When youre down on rue morgue avenue
[00:39.89]	They got some hungry women there
[00:42.70]	And they really make a mess out of you
[00:55.18]	Now if you see saint annie
[00:59.51]	tell Please her thanks a lot
[01:05.05]	I cannot move
[01:07.44]	My fingers are all in a knot
[01:14.97]	I dont have the strength
[01:18.46]	To get up and take another shot
[01:24.83]	And my best friend my doctor
[01:27.84]	Wont even say what it is I have got
[01:40.58]	Sweet melinda
[01:43.45]	The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
[01:50.81]	speaks She good english
[01:53.21]	And she invites you up into her room
[01:59.70]	And youre so kind
[02:01.65]	And careful not to go to her too soon
[02:08.93]	And then she takes your voice
[02:11.41]	And leaves you howling at the moon .............
[02:29.23]	Up on housing project hill
[02:33.23]	Its either fortune or fame
[02:38.43]	You can take one or the other
[02:42.24]	Though neither of them
[02:43.15]	Are to be what they claim
[02:49.01]	If youre looking to get silly
[02:52.13]	You better go back from where you came
[02:58.25]	Because the cops dont need you
[03:01.15]	And man they expect the same
[03:14.40]	the Now authoritiesall
[03:15.08]
[03:17.88]	just They stand around and boast
[03:23.46]	Hew they blackmailed the sergeant at arms
[03:27.16]	Into leaving his post
[03:32.78]	And picking up my brother car who
[03:36.71]	Just arrived here from the coast
[03:42.46]	Who looked so fine at first
[03:45.51]	But left looking just like a ghost well like they ghost i seed
[03:54.51]
[04:01.86]	I when started out on burgundy
[04:06.72]	But soon hit the harder stuff
[04:12.83]	Everybody said theyd stand behind me
[04:16.27]	When the game got rough
[04:21.38]	ah But the joke was on me
[04:24.72]	There was nobody even there to bluff
[04:30.62]	Im going back to new york city
[04:33.87]	I do believe Ive had enough
