Miss Antoinette she went out with a song |
|
Selling booze and silver shoes and singing right along. |
|
Shotgun and a limousine while the baby dolls march on |
|
Miss Antoinette she went out with a song. |
|
|
|
And it's a long way down |
|
Yeah it's a long way down. |
|
|
|
Down at the Maple Leaf they pack 'em in |
|
We all get sauced, turn down the house, so we start all over again. |
|
And tonight we'll all get reborn to a couple fifths of gin. |
|
(here we go) |
|
|
|
The rich boys get their money back when the banks go belly up |
|
But if you're downtown when the levees break well you're shit out of luck. |
|
(shit out of luck) |
|
|
|
And over at the place they train the gods (?) |
|
With Stanton on the drums you don't need no one on guitar |
|
And sometimes all it takes is going way too far |
|
|
|
And it's the long way down |
|
Yeah it's the long way down |
|
Aw it's the long way down |
|
A long way down |
|
|
|
The rich boys get their money back when the banks go belly up |
|
But if you're downtown when the levees break well you're shit out of luck. |
|
The penthouse paupers need your help so everybody lend a hand |
|
And maybe they'll get you a real sweet price on Louisiana land |
|
|
|
Now Christ down on the street with his trombone |
|
And even though the 12-year olds have got in their bones |
|
Above these 20 blocks no one's alone |
|
|
|
The rich boys get their money back when the banks go belly up |
|
But if you're downtown when the levees break then you're shit out of luck. |
|
The penthouse paupers need your help so everybody lend a hand |
|
And maybe they'll get you a real sweet price on Louisiana land |
