[00:18.19]When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
[00:22.07]And it's Eastertime too
[00:27.75]And your gravity fails
[00:30.37]And negativity don't pull you through
[00:37.82]Don't put on any airs
[00:40.21]When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
[00:47.20]They got some hungry women there
[00:50.27]And they really make a mess outa you
[00:56.85]Now if you see Saint Annie
[00:59.85]Please tell her thanks a lot
[01:06.50]I cannot move
[01:09.51]My fingers are all in a knot
[01:16.68]I don't have the strength
[01:19.18]To get up and take another shot
[01:26.20]And my best friend, my doctor
[01:29.40]Won't even say what it is I've got
[01:36.97]Sweet Melinda
[01:38.43]The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
[01:45.43]She speaks good English
[01:48.68]And she invites you up into her room
[01:55.28]And you're so kind
[01:57.85]And careful not to go to her too soon
[02:04.90]And she steals your voice
[02:07.60]And leaves you howling at the moon
[02:14.25]Up on Housing Project Hill
[02:17.93]It's either fortune or fame
[02:23.93]You must pick up one or the other
[02:26.58]Though neither of them are to be what they claim
[02:33.87]If you're lookin' to get silly
[02:36.37]You better go back to from where you came
[02:43.37]Because the cops don't need you here
[02:47.28]And man they expect the same
[02:52.68]Now all the authorities
[02:55.93]They just stand around and boast
[03:02.13]How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms
[03:06.46]Into getting up and leaving his post
[03:12.16]And picking up Angel who
[03:14.97]Just arrived down here from the coast
[03:21.44]Who looked so fine at first
[03:24.38]But left looking just like a ghost
[04:08.56]I started out on burgundy
[04:11.56]But soon hit the harder stuff
[04:18.17]Everybody said they'd stand behind me
[04:21.87]When the game got rough
[04:27.56]But it was all a big joke
[04:31.29]There was nobody even there to bluff
[04:37.14]I'm going back to New York City
[04:40.29]I do believe I've had enough
