Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand

(I've been downhearted, baby)
 (I've been down, I've been downhearted, baby)

 Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
 Moonlight spills on comic books and superstars in magazines
 An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
 Her plane takes off from Baltimore
 And touches down on Bourbon Street
 ♪
 Sit outside and argue all night long
 About a God we've never seen, but never fails to side with me
 Sunday comes, and all the papers say
 Ma Teresa's joined the mob and happy with her full-time job

 Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
 Does summer come for everyone?
 Can humans do what prophets say?
 If I die before I learn to speak
 Can money pay for all the days I lived awake but half asleep?

 Life is time, they teach you growing up
 Seconds ticking killed us all, a million years before the fall
 You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
 You swim like lions through the crest and bathe yourself in zebra flesh
