Catawalling Alley in Nice

Midnight and I pace around the room Sleep won't come daylight comes too soon Somewhere I hear a woman's laughter floating up from the street I already feel like the morning after by this Catawalling alley in Nice Through bloodshot eyes distortion on this topless beach No place to run and the rocks they bruise the feet The little doll is thrown from the window As the princess rests in her Bel Air suite Things fall the way they ought to in this Catawalling alley in Nice A long way from home in this casino by the sea The cards are drawn the joker cries silently Somewhere there's a lover bleeding Sometimes the moon takes more than it needs Just in time we are leaving this Catawalling alley in Nice
