Sharkey's Night (Long Version)

Sun's going down like a big bald head

Disappearing behind the boulevard

(Oooee)

It's Sharkey's night, yeah, it's Sharkey's night tonight

And the manager says

"Sharkey? He's not at his desk right now, (oh yeah)

Could I take a message?"

And Sharkey says, "Hey, kemosabe! Long time no see!"

He says, "Hey sport! You connect the dots. You pick up the pieces."

He says, "You know, I can see two tiny pictures of myself and there's one in each of your eyes

And they're doin' everything I do

Every time I light a cigarette, they light up theirs

I take a drink and I look in and they're drinkin' too

It's drivin' me crazy. It's drivin' me nuts."

And Sharkey says, "Hey! What's that big noise from the sky?

Sounds like thunder, nope!

Sounds like the 4th of July

Nope, wrong again!"

He says "It's just those angels walking

They're clomping around again

Wearing those big clumsy shoes we got for them

And Sharkey says, "Well I was out in my four door with the top down

I looked up and there they were

Millions of tiny teardrops

Just sort of hanging there

And I didn't know whether to laugh or cry

And I said to myself, 'What next big sky?'"

And Sharkey said, "Well I drove down to big DC

And I walked into Room 1003

And there they were

The Big Boys

Yeah, listen

They were singin'

Big B

Little O

Little M

Silent B

They were saying

'Let's teach those robots how to play hardball'

'Let's teach those little fellas a little gratitude'"

And Sharkey says, "Deep in the heart of darkest America, home of the brave."

He says: "Listen to my heart beat."
