 Mosquitos » Lyrics [+ Cuir +] |
1. _ Peg And Pete And Me
I can feel the life runnin' out of me
Workin' here at pete's
Two years ago it was just the thing
Workin' cars part time every week
I met 'em both at a drag race
They both dressed pretty snappy that day
Pete's wife peg, she put the make on me
While pete just looked the other way
Now no one can say what your future may hold
Or what your life will have in store
We went home that night, pete passed out on the couch
And then peg pulled me down on the floor
Well, i know now she knew what she was doing
Forbidden fruit, but what the hell, i bit
That's all it took |
2. _ Dogs
One dog buries a bone and then the
Other dog digs it up and finds
A prize in store
One dog dies and the other dogs go
Dig him up a tomb, with his
Name inscribed
Chorus:
And there, on his tombstone
Carved so bold
The words are clear and strong
It says:
This one is for the eyes
For the eyes of the other dogs to come
It's for the eyes of the other dogs to come
One man digs a hole while the
Other one shovels dirt inside
Another hole
One man says "hello" while
Another man is leaving on a
Long journey |
3. _ Can't Complain
"how you doin', bert?" "well, not so good, charlie,
My back's gone out and i got my finger cut gnarly.
The job's the same, and so's the boss.
He's still a big ass, and my wallet got lost.
My wife's sick in bed, she says she'll never get well.
And all these kids today have gone to hell.
And all that government paperwork caught up with me |
4. _ A Mission In Life
Sue, turn out the lights
It's time to close up |
5. _ Newspapers
I work for the newspapers
Any news is good news, i always say
But i don't write no daily column
Talk is cheap, and so's my pay
And when my workday's over
I pocket five or ten from the tray
And then i start it up again at five a.m.
I stack 'em up just to throw 'em away
Now lately, i've been thinkin'
What would the world do without the news?
You wouldn't know when wars were started
Or when they ended |
6. _ Lonely Town
They all say that it's a lonely town
They all say that it's a lonely town
Wide open spaces |
7. _ Goin' Southbound
Tell not a word that you heard it here
But there's a big truck waitin' tonight at the pier
Comin' in on an east-bound boat
Now, don't be late for delivery |
8. _ The Last Honest Man
A crowd came in and sat down
Then a man began to yell
About savin' souls to heaven
And for the sinner, there was hell
But later on that night
In a hotel room down the road
He kept his meeting for a cat-o-nine beating
From a leather-clad man named moe
Chorus:
An honest man
We're looking for the last honest man
An honest man
We're looking for (keep searchin' for) the last honest man
There's a man who moves the masses
On a big-city radio dial
He shouts and screams at all he's seen
Runs a talk show like a trial
And there's a bartender keepin' secrets
About a boxer that took a dive
And in an office way uptown, a deal is goin' down
That could get somebody four to five
Chorus repeat x2
Now we'll keep looking high and low
And we'll keep searching 'round
Is everybody, everyone
Dishonest in this town?
Well, they'll stab you in the back
You get a handshake and a smile
But if one don't get ya, the other one will
And ya gotta walk that mile, lookin' for
Chorus repeat x3

10. _ Calling Out To Carol
Calling out to carol
She could really twist the screws
What'cha doin' monday
And are you back on the booze?
Now, i've been dooin' some thinkin'
About colorado springs
A dirty denim jacket
And a seven-dollar ring
Well, i've been keepin' busy
I've got lots of pots boiling on the stove
Who's that in the background
I'm sorry that i asked |
