Well you can buy me a drink and I'll tell you what I seen And I'll give you a bargain from the edge of a maniac's dream That buys a black widow spider with a riddle in his yarn That's clinging to the furrow of a blind man's brow I'll start talking from the brim of a thimble full of whiskey On a train through the Bronx that will take you just as far As the empty of a bottle to the highway of a scar That stretched across the blacktop of my cheek like that And then ducks beneath the brim of a fugitive's hat And you'll learn why liquor makes a stool pigeon rat on every face That ever left his shadow down on Saint Mark's place Hell, I'd double cross my mother if it was whiskey that they payed And so an early bird says nightsticks on the hit parade And he ain't got a prayer and his days are numbered And you'll track him down like a dog Well it's a tough customer you're getting in this trade 'Cause the nightstick's heart pumps lemonade Well whiskey keeps a blind man talking alright And I'm the only one who knows just where he stayed last night He was in a wrecking yard in a switchblade storm In a wheelbarrow with nothing but revenge to keep him warm And a half a million dollars in unmarked bills Was the nightstick's blanket in a febuary chill And as the buzzard drove a crooked sky He was dealin High Chicago in the mud And stackin' the deck against a dragnet's eye A shivering nightstick in a miserable heap With a siren for a lullaby singing him to sleep He was bleeding from a buttonhole Torn by a slug fired from the barrel of a two dollar gun That scorched a blister on the grip of a punk by now Is learning what you have to pay to be a hero anyhow He dressed the hole in his gut with a hundred dollar bandage A king's ransom for a bedspread that don't amount to nuthin' Just cobweb strings on a busted ukulele
