VERSE 1:
Edna Million in a drop dead suit
Dutch Pink on a downtown train
Two dollar pistol but the gun won’t shoot
On the corner in the pouring rain


16 men on a dead man’s chest
I’ve been drinking from a broken cup
Two pair of pants and a mohair vest
I’m full of bourbon, I can’t stand up

CHORUS:
Hey little bird - fly away home
Your house is on fire
Your children are alone

Hey little bird - fly away home
Your house is on fire
Your children are alone

VERSE 2:
Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan’s head
And I’ve been stepping on the devil’s tail
Across the stripes of a full moon’s head
Through the bars of a Cuban jail


Bloody fingers on a purple knife
A flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I’m on the lawn with someone else’s wife
Admire the view from on top of the mast

[REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]

[INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS]

[REPEAT CHORUS]

VERSE 3:
Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed
Stayabo horn and a Slingerland ride
To the carnival is what she said
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside


Edna Million in a drop dead suit
Dutch Pink on a downtown train
Two dollar pistol but the gun won’t shoot
On the corner in the pouring rain

[REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]
