Taylor John |
Taylor had a wife, she was married to the mirror |
Make her glass-eyed lover buy a drink and then another round |
'Round the kitchen table lined with cigarettes from years ago |
Last night one fell onto the floor, yeah, to the floor, yeah, to the floor |
Taylor used to marvel at the way the music sounded |
She drifted down the carpet-bag to put another lamp shade on |
There she was so young and pretty holding out her hand |
To the last five years that livin' took away, away, hey, yeah, hey, yeah |
It’s a scavenger hunt in the best of times |
A one-armed man with a box of dimes |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll |
Yeah, throw the stick and let the bulldog roll |
Taylor’s 37 yesterday and she’ll be 21 |
An asphalt rhododendron where she fell across the car |
Pocketbook explodin' with the money of delusion |
Winks her smokin' yellowed eyes and rolls snakes along the floor |
Hey, hey, hmm, yeah, along the floor |
It’s a scavenger hunt in the best of times |
A one-armed man with a box of dimes |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll, yeah |
Partin' like tomorrow is a vestibule of commerce |
«No regret», says I, says she, «Waltzin' to the ice machine» |
Where another hotel key has left a scar upon the soul |
Her feet are nimble still when she wants she can go |
Hey, yeah, she can go, hey, hey, yes, she can go |
It’s a scavenger hunt in the best of times |
A one-armed man with a box of dimes |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll, oh, yeah, oh, yeah |
Come all you little sailors with a penchant for the sea |
Look way down below for Taylor John he wants to be like me |
Drownin' in the water, got his collar turned up cool |
Tries to breathe now like a wretched stain and floats like a fool |
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey |
Scavenger hunt in the best of times |
A one-armed man with a box of dimes |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll, yeah |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll |
Getting throw the stick and let the bulldog roll |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll, yeah |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll, yeah |
I’ll throw the stick and let the bulldog roll |
Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll |
