Catherine Street

Moonlight dancer High romancin' Down on Catherine Street Lover's cramps and Household tramps Down on dirty Catherine Street Me and my woman just bustin' our heads Down on old Taneray Road, yeah The needle works the railroad tracks I guess ya know how local stories all go Yeah, but listen a minute But if ya find your mind lies broke down in the stores And if your dreams become the refuge of your soul Don't ask the dealer to be fair Your soul ain't good enough to spare When you're all the way down On Catherine Street The days are passing vaguely Down on Catherine Street A few of them The normal hours Of any normal street My head changed hands so Lord, so many times I could not feel to speak And when I finally Get to talking, well Then my knees start gettin' weak But if ya find your mind lies broke down in the stores And if your dreams become the refuge of your soul Don't ask the dealer to be fair Your soul ain't good enough to spare When you're all the way down On Catherine Street You know they keep the dogs All chained up Down on Catherine Street Sometimes it's hard to find any Place to hide From the goddamned heat Besides, most of us are just Biding our time 'Till we get back on our feet Oh mama I'll be back on my feet one of these days Yeah You just see if I don't Ya know Ya can't keep a good man down for too long And I'm coming on up I feel good Lord I feel good Oh my God! So far down So far down So far down (End)
