Arc Of Bar |
Hustlers, whores, in rooms galore |
A sinking city’s stink |
An arc of bar, a flesh bazaar |
Of diamonds, dust, and drink |
The jukebox jamming, the lions lamming |
The jokers doing the dealing |
And queens are over jacks |
Remember that or catch a beating |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
The night had come into her own |
And I made the arc of bar my home |
Beneath my clothes, just a bag of bones |
Under my skin, just skeletons |
I was rolling like a pair of dice |
With one for laws and one for lies |
But all this, I tried to hide |
Behind a glaze of sweat and fire |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
To some, a mistress |
To some, a muse |
Something soft for something blue |
She sauced my needs out of my dreams |
And baptized me in flesh that seeds |
And then she lay me like a baby |
On a bed of Spanish moss |
And for her love, I would help the devil |
To steal Christ right off the cross |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
I lay blame on the arc of bar |
And the hundred proof in me |
But the arc, it blames the air |
Hundred percent humidity |
Well at least those damned mosquitos |
That fall flounder to the flood |
Get a thimble full of whiskey with their paltry pint of blood |
My blood |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
This port of call |
It ain’t no port at all |
The cap, my cup, and anchors up |
The jokers, they tease another hand |
But they’re out of luck 'cause I’m out of town |
And the sun is like an omen |
Goading me toward the gospel |
But I got no plans at all |
Except to drink as soon as possible |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Some men offer confession |
For their souls and grace of God |
For others women, women are for mercy |
And mosquitos they’re abuzz |
Yeah, some men offer confession |
For their souls and grace of God |
For others women, women are for mercy |
And mosquitos they’re abuzz |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
Yeah |
