Cowboy Junkies - Cowboy Junkies Lament Lyrics
Baby hit the back doorBreathin real heavySaid the boys in the alleyWouldnt leave her aloneMama did her make-up in a terrible hurryShe finally got readyBut the boys were goneMama dont you worry,Nights approachinTheres a hole in heavenWhere some sin slips throughJust close your eyes and dream real steadyMaybe just a little will spill on youDark dont lieDreams come trueCould be a few will see you throughOld lady rose, lookin down her noseAt lonely miss lily hiding in the hallLilys just praying for the trial to be overLady rose just waiting for the axe to fallShow me off on the way to townThe skys still shinyAnd the earths still brownTell the judge Im ready for the vasesGonna dance in their facesWhen the guitar soundsWont be longI wont be goneBeen leaning toward the shadows all alongThose in the know say so it goesYou plan on reapin, you better sowYou plan on sleepin,You better keep movinSleepin aint allowed around here,You knowSnake eyes cryBoxcars sighSevens stuck in the middleJust wonderin whyDark dont lieDreams come trueAll it takes is one or twoMaybe just a few will see you through
