Waterhole (Expresso Bongo) |
| When the taxis gather in mock solemnity. |
| Funeral hearses court the death of virginity, |
| Was it paradise lost or paradise found? |
| Did we gain respect or were we holding ground? |
| You had found true love, or so you believed |
| And the wideboys tattooed your hearts upon their sleeves. |
| So when you think its time to go, |
| When you think its time to go, |
| Dont be surprised, the heroes never show. |
| And the patter merchants selling false impressions, |
| Tipping eyes at the waitress with american expressions, |
| Tie angels to the bar with sweet martinis and their charms |
| Theyre lying on every word and every arm |
| Theyre turning down their noses to the best lines |
| And the cheap wines. |
| And the wideboys, |
| They wear their lovebites for their crimes. |
| So when you think its time to go, |
| When you think its time to go, |
| Dont be surprised, the heroes never show. |
