Lyrics:
Baby hit the back door breathin' real heavy Said the boys in the alley wouldn't leave her alone Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry By the time she got ready but the boys were gone Mama don't you worry, night's aproachin' There's a hole in heaven where some sin slips through Just close your eyes and breath real steady Maybe just a little will spill on you The dark don't lie And dreams come true Mabey just a few will see you through Old lady rose, lookin' down her nose At lonely miss lily hiding in the hall Lily's just waitin' for the trial to be over Rosy's just waitin' for the ax 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 won't be gone I've been leaning toward the shadows all along Those in the know say so it goes You plan on reapin' you better sow You plan on sleepin' you better keep movin' Sleepin ain't allowed around here you know Tell me please when the rollin'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 lie Old seven's stuck in the middle just wonderin' why The dark don't lie And dreams come true All it takes is one or two Maybe just a few will get you through
