Crowbar Hotel

I wish I could not say

Then I wouldn't have to lie

But it's gonna be ok

I met more honest men inside

But I never met a cop

Who didn't like his jackets straight

Never met a jailor who wasn't on the take

Yeah but I'd rather be a bum than a bitch

I'd rather catch a dog than a switch

I'd rather get a meal than a kiss but I

I wouldn't mind both

You're just a belly rubber with the right last name

Boarding house boss you better lower that cane

And when it all falls out we'll be halfway to the horn

Thank the gandy dancers for a path well worn

Yeah but I'd rather be a bum than a bitch

I'd rather pull the pin than the switch

I'd rather be a coke than a kid but I

I wouldn't mind both

We are sold to the highest bidder

We are down to our very last crumb

May we invite ourselves to dinner

'Cause we might just have to make a run

Dreaming of their wives and dreaming of their soap

I traded all the coin for the faro and the dope

Looking for high heels in the crowbar hotel

Just an Angelina and a n'er do well

Yeah but I'd rather be a bum than a bitch

I'd rather catch a dog than a switch

I'd rather get a meal than a kiss but

I wouldn't mind both

We are sold to the highest bidder

We are down to our very last crumb

May we invite ourselves to dinner

'Cause we might just have to make a run

We are sold to the highest bidder

We are down to our very last crumb

May we invite ourselves to dinner

'Cause we might just have to make a run

We are sold to the highest bidder

We are down to our very last crumb

May we invite ourselves to dinner

And then we're down and on the run

Yeah down and on the run
