Print Version


One old brown shoe falls in slow motion,
And the bedsprings hover right above your head,
As bed springs do, when you're beneath them.
Someone else just climbed into your bed.

By the time she thought you'd probably got to Phoenix,
She'd arranged for your shoes to be filled.
Well you've got your pride, and a blue-steel '45,
And you're waiting for the other shoe to fall.

You'll dig a double grave out in the meadow,
And you'll curse the rain that turns the dirt to mud.
You'll take I-35 south towards Laredo,
Then you'll try to find a doctor who can prescribe an elixir
That'll make everything better, except your late wife and her lover.

By the time she thought you'd probably got to Phoenix,
She'd sealed her fate and gotten herself killed.
Well you've got your pride, and a blue-steel '45,
And you're waiting for the other shoe to fall.

  • Barrier Reef
    "The Empty Bottle was half empty, tide was low, and I was thirsty.
    Saw her sitting at the bar, you know how some girls are,
    Always making eyes, well she wasn't making eyes.
    So I sidled up beside her, settled down and shouted,

    ..."
  • Bel Air
    "I've been lightin' matches in the boiler room,
    Wearing sulphur perfume.
    You come sniffin' around just like you own the joint,
    You know it's rude to point...."
  • Big Brown Eyes
    "Big brown eyes, and a gust of wind,
    And the cherry burns the corner of the page that says ";The end
    Is coming soon,"; but not soon enough.
    Restring all your guitars. Pack up all your stuff...."

    "Rowboat lightning I kissed her yeah it didn't mean a thing

  • Broadway
    "In a hotel room just off Times Square it's like a closet
    I can watch the dancing class go round.
