Lyrics
Here At The Western World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Down at the Lido they welcome you
With sausage and beer
Klaus and The Rooster have been there too
But lately he spends his time here
Hangin' with the Mayor and all his friends
And nobody cares
Where the sailor shuts out the sunrise
Blacked out on the stairs
Knock twice, rap with your cane
Feels nice, you're out of the rain
We got your skinny girl
Here at the Western World
Ruthie will give you the silver key
To open the red door
Lay down your Jackson and you will see
The sweetness you've been cryin' for
In the night you hide from the madman
You're longing to be
But it all comes out on the inside
Eventually
Knock twice, rap with your cane
Feels nice, you're out of the rain
We got your skinny girl
Here at the Western World
In the night you hide from the madman
You're longing to be
But it all comes out on the inside
Eventually
Knock twice, rap with your cane
Feels nice, you're out of the rain
We got your skinny girl
Here at the Western World
