For The Turnstiles

All the sailors with their seasick mamas

Hear the sirens on the shore

Singin' songs for pimps with tailors

Who charge ten dollars at the door



You can really learn a lot that way

It will change you in the middle of the day

Though your confidence may be shattered

It doesn't matter



All the great explorers

Are now in granite lake

Under white sheets for the great unveiling

At the big parade



You can really learn a lot that way

It will change you in the middle of the day

Though your confidence may be shattered

It doesn't matter



All the bush-league batters

Are left to die on the diamond

In the stands the home crowd scatters

For the turnstiles

For the turnstiles

For the turnstiles

For the turnstiles
