Barfly

[Verse 1] Spent my nights in a sleeping bag smelling kerosene Thinking fog and sand Was gonna keep me clean Feeding all the bluejays at the wrong address Where they went instead I could only guess [Chorus] Tell the barfly Who runs this town You won’t get high You’ll just get down Tell the barfly It’s on his dime You won’t get high So do the time [Verse 2] Took a breath full of iodine and I overdosed And the tide crept high Like a watery ghost And no one needs your kind Of a dope sick clown You can always find Sitting one seat down [Chorus] Tell the barfly Who rolls the dice Your numbers up So roll it twice Tell the barfly It’s on his dime You won’t get high So do the time [Bridge] Honey, I’m not the one who’s of use to you now I get an hour’s sleep at night And I can’t see how You deserve all the mess that even guilt won’t allow [Chorus] Tell the barfly Who runs this town You won’t get high You’ll just get down Tell the barfly It’s on his dime You won’t get high So do the time
