The Late John Garfield Blues |
Black faces pressed against the glass |
Where rain has pressed it’s weight |
Wind blown scarves in top down cars |
All share one western trait |
Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks |
From winos to dime-store Jews |
Probably don’t know they give me These late John Garfield blues |
Midnight fell on Franklin Street |
And the lamppost bulbs were broke |
For the life of me, I could not see |
But I heard a brand new joke |
Two men were standing upon a bridge |
One jumped and screamed you lose |
And just left the odd man holding |
Those late John Garfield blues |
An old man sleeps with his conscience at night |
Young kids sleep with their dreams |
While the mentally ill sit perfectly still |
And live through life’s in-betweens |
I’m going away to the last resort |
In week or two real soon |
Where the fish don’t bite but once a night |
By the cold light of the moon |
The horses scream- the nightmares dream |
And the dead men all wear shoes |
'Cause everybody’s dancin' |
Those late John Garfield blues |
