I hid out on the front porch
|
I laid up in my mind
|
I looked for me a love
|
The best one I could find
|
He got himself a ticket
|
On an international flight
|
|
Oh itĄŻs nothing
|
But a goddamn shame
|
Is what it is
|
Oh itĄŻs nothing
|
But a goddamn shame
|
|
The smell of burnt exhaust
|
Drifts into the *BART*
|
ItĄŻs midnight in California
|
ItĄŻs high noon where you are
|
Motorcycles and booze
|
Dirty old perfume
|
|
Oh itĄŻs nothing
|
But a goddamn shame
|
Is what it is
|
Oh itĄŻs nothing
|
But a goddamn shame
|
|
I tried to go to sleep
|
In my haunted little room
|
The shadows are churning
|
In the passage of the moon
|
ItĄŻd break my heart to tell you
|
I couldnĄŻt come so soon
|
|
Oh itĄŻs nothing
|
But a goddamn shame
|
Is what it is
|
Oh, itĄŻs nothing
|
But a goddamn shame
|
|
Tell me one more time
|
Why you went away
|
It makes a little sense
|
In the light of day
|
When evening comes around
|
All my senses fly away
|
|
ItĄŻs nothing
|
But a goddamn shame
|
Is what it is
|
Oh itĄŻs nothing
|
But a goddamn shame
|
