lyrics

I was standing ‘gainst the railing when the rain began to fall
Flashlight bubblicious upside down out of my skull
Dewdrop blindfold, five, one, two plastic bag taped ‘cross my window
I hustled up a taxi, cross the river, to beat the cold

I dialed up the Wang man, but he don’t take my calls no more
I’m hanging down at the Clock Tower Hotel like a nail without a board
Rasta Sadie and the Handshake Dumpster sell tie-dyes down below
While the girls pray for a rainstorm that won’t damage all their soles
Hey mama, can you tell me any news
I’ve got seven stones of happiness, but I can’t shake these blues

The elevator opened with rubber bottles and broken strings
They asked me if I’d share a bite before the fat girl starts to sing
Hey mama, can you tell me any news
Hey mama, what am I supposed to do
Hey mama, mama I’m three shades of blue
Hey mama…Hey mama

I was standing on the railing of the bridge just chewing gum
While the mayor counted money and the police chief wiped his gun
The rock star at the hotel he went crazy on the TV sets
Now he’s a fat man in the bathtub with a bullet in his chest
Hey mama…Hey mama

The Wang man left a message with the Clock Tower concierge
So I shook off all those sandstorm dollars and went to get my wares
In the meantime, Sadie and the girls did a séance ‘cause they were bored
They conjured up Mark Bolan like it was 1974
Get it on, mama bang that gong
Hey mama, can you tell me what is wrong
Hey mama, can you tell me any news
I’ve got seven stones of happiness, but I can’t shake these blues
