Black and Brown Blues

Baby let's get dressed up
 I got two pairs of shoes
 Darling you look so beautiful
 When your hair's all hung in jewels
 And sometimes I find it really hard to choose
 Between a pair of black and a pair of brown shoes
 When I'm high on batwings
 Up by the silvery moon
 I think of a certain sad-eyed king
 Trapped in his golden room
 And I dream of a cold river on the way
 To come and sweep that king into this black and brown bay
 Well the water looks like jewelry
 When it's coming out the spout
 And nothing could make me feel better
 Than a wet kiss on the mouth
 Fake ID's and honey bees
 The jagged skyline of car keys
 I never knew a bird could fly so low
 ♪
 Rub out the catlight
 Rub out the village
 Red and white exit light
 That's exodus damage
 Why don't people think of who they use?
 Why don't you try and come and get me:
 Black and brown blues
 It's raining triple sec in Tchula
 And the radio plays "Crazy Train"
 There's a quadroon ball in the beehive
 Hanging out in the rain
 And when there's trouble I dont like running
 But I'm afraid I got more in common
 With who I was than who I am becoming
 When I go downtown
 I always wear a corduroy suit
 Cause it's made of a hundred gutters
 That the rain can run right through
 But a lonely man can't make a move
 If he can't even bring himself to choose
 Between a pair of black and a pair of brown shoes
