歌曲歌詞
The motel lights were blinking
On my chartreuse four door
LincolnOn the dock, the fish were stinking
I simply didn't have a care
And the old men sit 'round the cracker barrels
The children hum their
Christmas carols
The train tracks all run parallel
But they'll all meet up one day
On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
He's waiting for the next poor fool
Who forgot that it was
SundayWe used to tell each other lies
With our orange plastic button eyes
In a former life on a motel chair
I was Charlie
Parker's teddy bear
Yeah, me and
Bird, we'd stay up late
I used to watch him contemplate
While his horn would sit by the window and wait'
Til it was time for him to blow it
On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
He's waiting for the next poor fool
Who forgot that it was
SundayThe only song
I ever knew
Was 'Moonlight
Bay on the
Avenue'These are the tales from the
Devil's chin
Charlie, I could've been a contender
And the old men sit 'round the cracker barrels
The children hum their
Christmas carols
The train tracks all run parallel
But they'll all meet up one day
On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
He's waiting for the next poor fool
Who forgot that it was
SundayHe forgot that it was
SundayOn a dusty pew in a vestibule
Sits the old red
Devil playing pocket pool
He's waiting for the next poor fool
Who forgot that it was
SundayAnd the old men
Why, they're sitting 'round their cracker barrels
And the children
Yeah, they're out humming those
Christmas carols
And all those old rusty train tracks
They're running parallel
But they'll all meet up one day
