there's a blur drizzle down the as a neon swizzle stick stirrin up the sultry air and a yellow biscuit of a buttery cue moon rollin' maverick across an sky as the go groanin' and wheezin', down on the I'm freezin'; on a restless boulevard at a midnight I'm across town from EASY with the tight knots of and out of towners on the and the buildings high above lit like or black dice all the car salesmen dressed up in Checkerboard slacks and Grant wrap-around, pacing in of EARL SCHLEIB $39.95 like barkers at a gallery they throw out kind of a Guinan routine "Hello sucker, we like your just as well as else's here" or they you the P.T. Barnum bit "There's a sucker born every you just happened to be along at the right time" come here now you know... all the harlequin are on the stroll in a of "LIKE NEW," "NEW PAINT," decent air and AM-FM dreams and the piss yellow gypsy stacked up in the taxi waitin' like machines to be ticking off a joy ride to a magical waitin' in line like "truckers welcome" dirt lots full of Peterbilts, Kenworths, and the like, and they're with bankrupt brakes, over driven under paid, over fed, a day late and a short but Christ I got my lips around a and my foot on the throttle and I'm on the corner on the corner like a "just in town" jasper, on a street corner a gasper lookin ' for some kind of Cheshire billboard stroking a goateed chin, and using meters as walking on the inebriated stroll with my eyelids open at half mast but you know... over at Chubb's Hall and Snooker it was a nickle two, yea it was a nickle after two and in the cobalt blue dream smoke, it was the radio groaned out the hit parade and the squeaked, the floorboards creaked and an sign winked through a torn yellow shade, old Jack himself leanin' up against a and eyeballin' out a 5 ball combination shot impossible you ...hard to believe?, perhaps out of the realm of naaaa he be stretchin' out long tawny out across a cool green felt with a provocative golden and a full table railshot no sweat and I leaned up my bannister and wandered over to the Wurlitzer and I A-2 I was lookin' for something like Wine, Wine, Wine by the Night Chuck E. Weiss or High Blood Pressure by George (cryin' in the streets) - no dice "that's life," that's all the people say ridin' high in April, seriously down in May, but I know I'm gonna change that tune I'm standing underneath a buttery moon all melted off to one side It was just about that that the sun crawlin' yellow out of a manhole at the foot of 23rd and a dracula in a black disguise was making its way to its room at the St. Moritz Hotel (scat) and the El train came across the trestles and it sounded like the ghost of Gene an overhead cam and glasspacks and the brushes of wet radials on a wet pavement and a traffic jam session on Belmont and the of the pending evening, I leaned up my bannister and I've looking for some kind of an investment with romantic kind of a negociation is as I to consolidate all my missed weekly payments, payment through the romantic residuals and leg akimbo but the chances are than likely I'll probably be over for another smashed weekend
