The #16 Blues
1986-09-20

smokers pulling broken knobs are milking a dry cow
i ain't no poet, if i was, i'd be dead by now
it's bad and getting worse
just wait and see
when i get sick of new york
there'll be no place in america for me

and i gotta get out
i gotta mess with my soul
i gotta go down to sophie's
and go-man-go

i want you to talk honest
don't stall, just tell me what you feel
you could crack me open
inspire me, it's no big deal

i got just what i wanted once
and didn't know what to do
but i did alright
until my dumb luck fell through

and i gotta get out
i gotta mess with my soul
i gotta go down to sophie's
and go-man-go

i know everything, just not always in time
pugnacious i am, i like to joust
it helps me to unwind
i ain't no poet, if i was, i'd be dead by now
smokers pulling broken knobs are milking a dry cow

and i gotta get out
i gotta mess with my soul
i gotta go down to sophie's
and go-man-go
