Back in the old folky days
Am Em DThe air was magic when we played
C FThe river boat was rocking in the rain
Midnight was the time for the raid
GOh Isabella, Proud Isabella
AmThey tore you down and plowed you under
You're only real with your makeup on
G DHow could I see you and stay too long
C F
All along the Navaho Trail
Am Em Dburnouts stub their toes on garbage pails
Waitresses crying in the rain
Am Em DWill their boyfriends pass this way again?
GOh Mother Goose, she's on the skids
the shoe* ain't happy neither are the kids
Bm CShe needs someone that she can scream at
G DAnd I'm such at heel for making her so bad
C F
I guess I'll call it sickness gone
It's hard to say the meaning to this song
C FAn ambulance can only go so fast
Am Em DIt's easy to get buried in the past
When you try to make a good thing last
Am Em DG
I saw today, in the entertainment section
There's room at the top for private detection
Bm CTo Mom and Dad this just doesn't matter
G DBut it's either that or pay off the kidnappers
So all you critics sit alone
Am Em DYou're no better than me for what you've shown
C FWith your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams
We could get together for some scenes
Well I'm up in T.O. keepin' jive alive
Amand out on the corner it's half past five
Bm CBut the subways are empty and so are the cafes
Except for the Farmer's Market and I can still hear him sayin'
C F"You're all just pissin' in the wind
Am Em DYou don't know it but you are"
And there ain't nothing like a friend
Am Em DWho can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind
G
I never knew a man could tell so many lies
Amhe had a different story for every set of eyes
How can he remember who he's talking to?
G D G(hold)
Cause I know it ain't me and I hope it isn't you
