Ask the boys down in the gutter
The boys upstairs are gettin' hungry
Here's your coat, take care of yourself, sorry you're leavin'
Met this morning, now he loves me, says he loves me
Now one is goin' one is stayin'
A little sad, you're all I had will you be returnin'
Just keep it loose, don't get excited, it'll pass before long
Roll down your sleeves, pick up your money
One is silent one is saying'
And head to the country I got no doubt about it my friend
The street's just fine if you're good and blind
Roll down your sleeves, pick up your money
Now they won't lie cause you don't matter
And carry yourself home
But it ain't where you belong
But you see the motion, you're not movin'
And in the meantime make a little money and buy a little mercy
I'm no fool, I'll be ready, God knows I will be
It must be easy, look around you, all around you
Or you can clench your fist, shake your head
You can shout in the wind about how it will be
That's where they'll find me, that's where they're gonna find me
You don't know how to hold on
