Lyrics

Runnin' my mouth off at the storm
 Yelling, "Man, what the hell did you do that for?"
 And I was watching the old men fish
 And they'd all give their catch away
 And I could hear a woman singing
 And I could hear that piano play
 It'd go like:
 ♪
 Where did you get your bad breath?
 I want some, oh, a drag off your cigarette
 And I was thinking about a song
 That I heard when I was young
 And I was wondering 'bout its trumpeteer
 How he could get those horns to talk
 Something like:
 ♪
 Tears will gather in my eyes
 Hold my head, oh, and babe you know I'll cry
 And I was thinking 'bout the places I'd been
 All with you always at my side
 Like a baby, oh, I held my head and cried
 C'mon, Dorothy, oh, you know we could go all night
 ♪
 Hey, it's nighttime and ya know
 It's getting cold, so, babe, put on some clothes
 And let's go hit the town
 And we could fill a room up with smoke
 Ya know I got the first round
 As we tell all those stories told
 And I would pretend you were new
 Like I was just introduced to you
 And all the music in my ears
 Sounds beautiful down here
 And I could hear that drummer roll
 As I listened to that choir cry
 And I could hear that guitar weeping
 I could feel those pipers pipe
 And all the beauty I couldn't see
 Well, it just cut me at my knees
 And I was watching the old men fish
 And they'd all give their catch away
 And I could hear a woman singing
 And I could hear that piano play
 Tears will gather in my eye
 Hold my head, oh, and babe you know I'll cry
 Like a baby, oh, I held my head and cried
 C'mon, Dorothy, oh, you know we could go all night
