Broken Down Fence

Ball Turret Gunnar
 He was talkin' on the phone
 To some lady that he loved
 And left broke in San Antone
 Week willed Willie
 And that trucker that he'd known
 Headed down the to blue note
 To hear that blind saxophone player
 Nobody noticed
 That Kenny left the scene
 He was on his way to Venice
 With some Merchant Marine
 He said Ayou better read the signs
 Before Paris starts to burn,
 But you cats round here
 You're never gonna learn
 It seems normal enough
 It doesn't make any sense
 When you fi nd yourself leanin'
 On a broken down fence
 Suzie closed up shop
 And to Portland she was bound
 But fi rst she had to make a deal
 With that man in Charlottetown
 She walked in wearin' a straw hat
 I'd only seen it once before
 She sat down and knocked my heart
 And my drink on to the fl oor
 It's been a long time since we were over
 A long time since we were through
 She said she'd never get to high
 Or fl y far from my view
 When she got up to leave
 She wore a smile on her face
 But her tears were on her sleeve
 It seems normal enough
 It doesn=t make any sense
 When you fi nd yourself leanin'
 On a broken down fence
 It seems normal enough
 It doesn't make any sense
 When you fi nd yourself leanin'
 On a broken down fence
 Into a hip-hop daydream I go walkin'
 And the Courvoisier keeps on talkin
 And on the same stone I keep on stumblin'
 With the same mistakes, baby, time and time again
 Walkin' up Milwaukee
 I'd seen the brother's Grimm
 They were talkin' trash and treason
 About the kind of shape we're in
 They were workin' on a story
 About a princess and a frog
 I told 'em one about a junkie
 And a philosophizing dog
 Just around the corner
 From a brand new day
 Right around that time I thought
 I'd heard somebody say
 It seems normal enough
 It doesn't make any sense
 When you fi nd yourself leanin'
 On a broken down fence
