Dutch pink
on a downtown train

Two-dollar pistol
but the gun won't shoot

I'm in the corner
on the pouring rain

:00:23

Sixteen men
on a deadman's chest

:00:26

And I've been drinking
from a broken cup

:00:28

Two pairs of pants
and a mohair vest

:00:31

I'm full ofbourbon
I can't stand up

:00:34

Hey, little bird
Fly away home

:00:37

Your house is on fire
Your children are alone

Hey, little bird
Fly away home

Your house is on fire
Your children are alone

Schiffer broke a bottle
on Morgan's head

:00:48

And I've been stepping
on the devil's tail

:00:50

Across the stripes
of a full moon's head

:00:54

And through the bars
of a Cuban jail

:00:56

Bloody fingers
on a purple knife

A flamingo drinking
from a cocktail glass

I'm on the lawn
with someone else's wife

Admire the view
from up on top of the mast

Hey, little bird
Fly away home

Your house is on fire
Your children are alone

Julie, what are you doing here?

Just watching
the light changing.

Hey, little bird
Fly away home

Your house is on fire
Your children are alone

Fly away home
