John Prine - The Torch Singer слова песни
The night club was burningFrom the torch singers songAnd the sweat was floodin her eyesThe catwalk squeakedneath the bartenders feetAnd the smoke was too heavy to riseChorus:She sang of the love that I left herAnd of the woman that shell never beMade me feel like the buck and a quarterThat I paid em to listen and seeI paid em to listen and seeI was born down in kansasneath the october skyWork the day shift from seven to threeAnd the only relief that I receiveIs nearer my God to theeShe constantly throws me off timingLeaves me standing both naked and bareMakes me feel like the sunday funniesAfter everythings gone off the airEverythings gone off the airI picked through the ashesOf the torch singers songAnd I ordered my money a roundFor whiskey and painBoth taste the sameDuring the time they go down(repeat chorus)
