Old lady Rose looking down her nose
At lonely miss Lily hiding in the hall,
Lily's just praying for the trial to be over;
Rosy's just waiting for the axe to fall.
Show me off on the way to town,
The sky's still shiny and the earth's still brown.
Tell the judge I'm ready for the vases.
Gonna' dance in their faces when the guitar sounds.
It won't be long I'll be long gone,
I been leaning toward the shadows all along.
Those in the know say how it goes:
You plan on reaping, you better sow.
You plan on sleeping, you better keep moving;
Sleeping ain't allowed around here, you know.
Tell me please when the rolling's over,
Me and my baby gonna' have some fun,
Bury our backs in a bed of clover,
Smile in style while the sun goes down.
Snake eyes cry and boxcars sigh.
Oh, seven's in the middle just wondering why.
The dark don't lie and dreams come true;
All it takes is one or two.
Maybe just a few will see you through,
Maybe just a few will see you through.
