Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues - Bryan Ferry
When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
And it's Eastertime too
And your gravity fails
And negativity don't pull you through
Don't put on any airs
When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
They got some hungry women there
And really make a mess outa you
Now if you see Saint Annie
Please tell her thanks a lot
I can't move
My fingers there are all in a knot
I don't have the strength
To get up and take another shot
And my best friend my doctor
Won't even tell me what I've got
Sweet Melinda
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English
She takes you up into her room
And you're so kind
And careful not to go to her too soon
And she takes your voice
And leaves you howling at the moon
I started out on burgundy
But soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
When the game got rough
But the jokes on me
There was nobody even come bluff
I'm going back to New York City
I think I have enough
