《Delilah Blue》歌词

[00:00:27] A cigarette burns itself out in a crushed up co'cola can ashtray

[00:00:34] In front of a busted up old mirror

[00:00:37] Delilah Blue is checking out his tired sachet

[00:00:42] Getting bored or just disappointed with his own reflection

[00:00:46] He just waves it all away

[00:00:51] Taking to his good friend Black Eyed Susan he says

[00:00:56] Maybe we should go out West

[00:00:59] Get a tan and fake the rest

[00:01:03] This ol' life is just a test

[00:01:08] Just a test anyhow

[00:01:13] Then back to his own reflection he says

[00:01:16] Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now

[00:01:27] The night manager of the Stardest Motel is banging louder

[00:01:32] On number seven's door saying

[00:01:35] If you two queens don't pay up for all last week you can't stay here no more

[00:01:42] And Delilah laughs as Black Eyed Susan says Silly b***h is such a bore

[00:01:55] In a while they know she'll walk away

[00:01:59] It's just a drunken game she likes to play

[00:02:02] Besides she knows they always pay

[00:02:07] They always pay somehow

[00:02:16] Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now

[00:02:24] Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now What do we do now

[00:02:38] Magnolia memories fill my eyes and the sweet bird of youth done flown away

[00:02:48] But don't let anybody ever say

[00:02:55] This old dancer never had her day

[00:03:01] 'Cause this old dancer always knew we'd make it through Delilah Blue

[00:03:18] Delilah's in the bath tub now and it's Black Eyed Susan's turn to ramble

[00:03:25] The President of the United States is on TV

[00:03:28] Tellin' everybody the country's doin' fine

[00:03:32] Well he must be talkin' 'bout some other country

[00:03:34] Cause honey he sure as hell ain't talkin' 'bout mine

[00:03:39] Wish I could strut up to the White House steps in Shirley Temple drag and sing

[00:03:43] 'Brother can you spare a dime '

[00:03:49] Hey Miss D I could always pawn that Jayne Mansfield thing

[00:03:55] How much cash you think that old rag'd bring

[00:03:59] My ruby red dress I used to wear to sing

[00:04:03] Back when they'd whistle and they'd wow

[00:04:21] Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now

[00:04:40] Does the year 2000 ever scare you 'cause it's comin' up so fast

[00:05:20] This getting older thing seems to be more about just learnin' how to last

[00:05:27] Flippin' through my old phone book Delilah all our mad mad friends

[00:05:33] We were such a cast

[00:05:41] What do I keep this old dog eared thing for

[00:05:44] Most our friends ain't even here no more

[00:05:48] I'm feeling lonely as a ghost town w***e left still standin' up somehow

[00:06:01] Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now

[00:06:13] With a towel turban on his head

[00:06:14] Delilah Blue appears in the golden aura of bathroom light

[00:06:19] Tell you a little secret Susan I learned a long long time ago

[00:06:26] It's kept me on my feet all these years high heels too

[00:06:31] I got the strap marks to show

[00:06:34] You can take it or you can leave it oh baby guess I don't really know

[00:06:45] But it seems to me

[00:06:48] Between the blues we cannot name

[00:06:51] And all the rage we try to tame

[00:06:55] We're only pawns in our own game

[00:06:59] Try not to let it wrinkle your pretty brow

[00:07:02] And just before he cuts the light

[00:07:12] He catches his own reflection in the mirror and smiles at the sight

[00:07:18] Try not to let it wrinkle your pretty little brow

[00:07:35] Oh Delilah Blue what do we do now

[00:08:04] 'Cause this old dancer thought she knew we'd make it through

[00:09:01] Oh this old dancer thought she knew Delilah Blue

[00:09:29] What do we do now
