Take Me Into Town

[Verse 1]

Well I've been waiting for the rain to break

But I guess my waiting's through

It's been dry as a bone since 1982

And I've been trying to protect myself

With these possessions I keep on his walls

All my books and my records but they don't give me shelter at all

We're both smart enough to know better

[Chorus]

Come on come on come on

Take me into town[x2]

[Verse 2]

Oh did you see my boots when you walked in

Y'know I guess this shirt'll do

I'm broke as a monkey and I could use a drop or two

Well i know just what I'll do when I get there

You know I saw it in a magazine

I can get so low you'll have to peel me from off of the street

We're both smart enough to know better

[Chorus]

Come on come on come on

Take me into town[x9]

[Verse 3]

Well I've been talking to the dog for days

But you know it's just no use

She's sitting like a sphinx and I can't get to the truth

And I've been staring at the floor for days

Trying to figure out what it all means

But I know when I'm awake and I'm dumber in my dreams

We're both smart enough to know better

Come on come on come on

Take me into town[x4]
