Nobody knew which house she lived in
But weather reports in that area were good
When it rained it rained pennies from heaven
And some serious blood money to boot
Heavy clouds are gathering over this area
What can you tell me about the people here
They are tall they are quiet they rarely drink
I asked them who is the king of rock’n’roll and they said King Lear
Strange letters in cardboard boxes
Strange smiles between the cigarettes and thin air
Well, pop that question, old man, I can see you
But you can’t ask because you never prepare
Nobody knew which neighbourhood she lived in
Were there any elevators or revolving doors
Those bars are getting old no Kirk Douglas in the salloon
But there’s still powder in the guns, of course

Restless

Nurse, nurse, I’m restless
What am I restless for
I see white linen I see nuns
I can’t say the prayers anymore
The last time I been buried
There was a little residue on my grave
The next time I’ll be buried
I wanna go there with a thousand dollars and a shave
Nurse, nurse I’m restless
What am I restless for
I was a carpenter and then a blacksmith
And then a hired hand ‘cause I won the war
There’s a feeble shadow there’s a beatnik
By the name of Domino on the old 78
This restlessness I can’t seem to shake it
But I can rattle and roll it Henry Higgins just you wait

I don’t live here
But I might
Put some ghosts
On my website
Let them rock
And let them roll
They’re entitled
After all
Looky yonder
Still not dead
We can talk
But not in bed
I don’t live here
But I will
Die of fright
Pay the bills

Georgia on my mind
Now who says I can’t drive
Been seen runnin’ around
Treadin’ waters, they say
But private eyes said
I’m married living in Queens
Who’s lovestruck now, boys
Who’s goin’ away
You know what it means
To step on anybody’s shoes
You know what it means
To binge watch other lives
It’s good to hear
Your intentions are good
But you wail, you know
You jump and you jive
Rockin’ chairs are comfortable
If you’re old enough
To appreciate their
Bing Crosby warmth
Who will the next fool be
And what will it take
I’ve got my fairytale book
I’ve summoned the Seven Dwarfs
