| Lyrics: |
You left your best friend
In the coatroom
With your coat shaped
Like a Komodo dragon
And in the backroom
Playing mahjong
Deep in thick smoke
Was the dragon’s owner
Out by Leroys
Near the rich boys
And the call toys
With a sad luck grinning
Was your dead end,
that one God sent
wide eyed dose of
rich lilac living
She put on her airs
Lifted her face
Passed out pancakes
Waited on the miners
You sat down there
Down where fair’s fair
And the tire’s spare
And called out for
Potatoes
It was your own fault
There was no salt
The man was tapped out
And the tab kept running
Couldn’t leave then
But your time’s up
It was a face card
Flipped down in your potatoes
And all your luck
Your quick fix bucks
Four full bed trucks
Were gone down with Liddy
It was your last trick
And it smelled sick
There was no ham
inside Gina’s belly
You closed your eyes
Hit your head down
Gathered your shoes
Just would not believe it
7 or 8,
Couldn’t speak straight
You wish it would stop
But the lights keep spinning
You couldn’t stand up,
Couldn’t lay down,
You held in your tears,
And the night was shapeless
So tell your best friend
You met a sad end
Down at Leroy’s
Where the bad luck’s winning.
