[Originally by Bob Dylan]
2
When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
3
And it's Eastertime too
4
And your gravity fails
5
And negativity don't pull you through
6
Don't put on any airs
7
When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
8
They got some hungry women there
9
And they really make a mess outa you.
10
Now if you see Saint Annie
11
Please tell her thanks a lot
12
I cannot move
13
My fingers are all in a knot
14
I don't have the strength
15
To get up and take another shot
16
And my best friend, my doctor
17
Won't even say what it is I've got.
18
Sweet Melinda
19
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
20
She speaks good English
21
And she invites you up into her room
22
And you're so kind
23
And careful not to go to her too soon
24
And she takes your voice
25
And leaves you howling at the moon.
26
Up on Housing Project Hill
27
It's either fortune or fame
28
You must pick up one or the other
29
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
30
If you're lookin' to get silly
31
You better go back to from where you came
32
Because the cops don't need you
33
And man they expect the same.
34
Now all the authorities
35
They just stand around and boast
36
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms
37
Into leaving his post
38
And picking up Angel who
39
Just arrived here from the coast
40
Who looked so fine at first
41
But left looking just like a ghost.
42
I started out on burgundy
43
But soon hit the harder stuff
44
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
45
When the game got rough
46
But the joke was on me
47
There was nobody even there to bluff
48
I'm going back to New York City
49
I do believe I've had enough.
