Tuesday Night Music Club Lyrics
Lyrics

Track
Title
- She was born in November 1963
- The day Aldous Huxley died
- And her mama believed
- That every man could be free
- So her mama got high, high, high
- And her daddy marched on Birmingham
- Singing mighty protest songs
- And he pictured all the places
- That he knew that she belonged
- But he failed and taught her young
- The only thing she's need to carry on
- He taught her how to
- Run baby run baby run baby run
- Baby run
- Past the arms of the familiar
- And their talk of better days
- To the comfort of the strangers
- Slipping out before they say
- so long
- Baby loves to run
- She counts out all her money
- In the taxi on the way to meet her plane
- Stares hopeful out the window
- At the workers fighting
- Through the pouring rain
- She's searching through the stations
- For an unfamiliar song
- And she's pictures all the places
- Where she knows she still belongs
- And she smiles the secret smile
- Because she knows exactly how
- To carry on
- So run baby run baby run baby run
- Baby run
- From the old familiar faces and
- Their old familiar ways
- To the comfort of the strangers
- Slipping out before they say
- So long
- Baby loves to run
- Life springs eternal
- On a gaudy neon street
- Not that I care at all
- I spent the best part of my losing streak
- In an Army Jeep
- For what I can't recall
- Oh I'm banging on my TV set
- And I check the odds
- And I place my bet
- I pour a drink
- And I pull the blind
- And I wonder what I'll find
- [Chorus]
- I'm Leaving Las Vegas
- Lights so bright
- Palm sweat, blackjack
- On a Saturday night
- Leaving Las Vegas
- Leaving for good, for good
- I'm leaving for good
- I'm leaving for good
- Used to be I could drive up to
- Barstow for the night
- Find some crossroad trucker
- To demonstrate his might
- But these days it seems
- Nowhere is far enough away
- So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
- [Chorus]
- I'm standing in the middle of the desert
- Waiting for my ship to come in
- But now no joker, no jack, no king
- Can take this loser hand
- And make it win
- [Chorus]
- I quit my job as a dancer
- At the Lido Des Girls
- Dealing blackjack until one or two
- Such a muddy line between
- The things you want
- And the things you have to do
- [Chorus]
- I'm leaving Las Vegas
- And I won't be back
- No I won't be back
- Not this time
- Took your car
- Drove to Texas
- Sorry, honey
- But I suspected we were through
- And I can't cry anymore
- Since I left
- Been feelin' better, cause that's
- What you get when you
- Stay together too long
- And I can't cry anymore
- [Chorus]
- Wouldn't it be good if
- we could hop a flight to anywhere
- So long to this life
- So much for pretending
- Bad luck's never-ending
- And now I know that
- Money comes in
- But the fact is
- There's not enough to
- Pay my taxes
- And I can't cry anymore
- Well, got a brother
- He's got real problems
- Heroin - no
- There's just no stopping him tonight
- And I won't cry anymore
- [Chorus]
- It's never ending
- It could be worse
- I could've missed my calling
- Sometimes it hurts
- But when you read the writing on the wall
- Can't cry anymore
- [Chorus]
- And too much time I've been spending
- With my heart in my hands
- Waiting for time to come and mend it
- I can't cry anymore
- Pouring in and around the great wellspring
- Of simple feeling
- And I need bearings in the face of your
- Cool cool fire
- Walking backwards with the pounding of your voice
- Makes my soul tired
- And concrete is
- As concrete doesn't
- And voices can drown
- Why should I[4 times]
- Solidify
- Make me real
- So you can see me
- I guess you thought
- I'd hide the sun from my liquid thoughts and
- Make ice for you
- You thought I'd seed my clouds
- With the rain of your personal dreams
- I guess you thought I'd throw confetti
- At your parade of lofty thoughts
- I guess you thought I'd shine good morning
- In some good morning Jack
- Surprise
- Why should I[4 times]
- Solidify
- Make me real
- So you can see me
- Video countdown cyber phallic optics
- Profligate talk shows scrounging for a topic
- Rock-a-buy gravy train cradle's gonna rock me
- 37 million's what Larry Parker got me
- World War XIV, my first Sony
- Beatles wrote the Nike song and called it macaroni
- Billy Jean Burger King chauvinist pig pen
- U.S. Army only wants a few straight men
- Na-na, na-na na-na, na-na na-na na-na
- Panaflex Soloflex Genuflect Pope
- What the world needs now is babies, gun and hope
- Guardian angel dust in the wind cries Mary
- Wanna be Madonna but the price is too high, very
- Perfect rhythm Nazis in the pagan rhythm nation
- Everybody's equal in the glow of radiation
- Gotta four-wheel drive and I park it in the driveway
- When I get drunk I drive it on the parkway
- Gotta get a TV set for my car
- Tonight's the Battle of the Network Stars
- Na-na, na-na na-na, na-na na-na na-na
- Na-na, na-na na-na, na-na na-na na-na
- Saniflush Bud-Bowl makin' me sick
- Cause anybody in a helmet looks just like a dick
- Steely Dan rather be hammer than a nail
- The Serbs, the Poles, and the check's in the mail
- Eat sleep live die fucking record label
- G Gordon Liddy under the table, table, table
- Clarence Thomas organ grinder Frank Dileo's dong
- Maybe if I'd him I'd have had a hit song
- Na-na, na-na na-na, na-na na-na na-na
- It's obvious the trouble we're in
- When your father pulls up in a Mercedes Benz
- He says he just happened to be in the neighborhood
- But before he leaves he slips the landlord the rent
- You say, "It's just a question of eliminating
- obstacles"
- As you throw your dinner out the kitchen door
- You say, "I know how you try"
- But honey, let's eat out tonight
- [Chorus]
- No one said it would be easy
- But no one said it'd be this hard
- No one said it would be easy
- No one thought we'd come this far
- You can't seem to ever fold up a shirt
- I bring it up and you think I'm a jerk
- But I think we're here to stay
- I can't imagine it any other way
- [Chorus]
- Sometimes I wonder who he's picturing
- When he looks at me and smiles
- [Chorus]
- Oh, and look we've come this far
- I'm so glad you're awake
- That you're not like the others
- Cause they're so straight-laced
- And no fun
- Gosh that's nice
- That lingerie
- Makes me feel like
- Oh, I don't know
- You're a very pretty thing
- You remind me of someone
- You must have heard
- Some awful nasty things about me, but
- [Chorus]
- What I can do for you
- There's no one else
- On God's green earth can do
- What I can do for you
- There's no one else
- On God's green earth can do
- Just ask anybody
- They'll tell you that it's true
- There's no one else on earth
- Can do the things that I can do for you
- You're never gonna make it
- All by yourself
- You're gonna need a friend
- You're gonna need my help
- I have so much to offer
- If you just be nice
- If you do what I say
- And don't make me say it twice
- Do you mind if I just
- Rub my hand up thus
- Come on just my hand
- Come on just my hand
- You got to understand
- I'm gonna be your man
- I'm gonna be your man
- Downstairs they're playing Kenton
- The house set to swing
- I lay in my bed
- And listen to everything
- Cause Leo's in rare form tonight
- His trombone sings so sweet
- This is the room
- Where they all come to meet
- He said
- I do what I can
- I live for the moment
- And that's who I am
- Yeah that's who I am
- And isn't it good
- If we could freeze moments in time
- We all would
- But I do what I can
- I do what I can
- Downstairs he's playing Kenton
- The Magnavox sighs
- But oh how the music has changed
- In all of our lives
- He says "nobody listens
- To modern jazz"
- And I'll never have what those guys have
- He says
- I do what I can
- I work for a living
- And that's who I am
- Yeah that's who I am
- And it's good to be alive
- But everything's different since Leo died
- I do what I can
- Is this the end of the modern world
- What could it mean for a young girl
- Who sees the pain on his face
- He does what he can
- The procession on the TV screen
- What could it possibly mean for a man
- Who's come this far just to turn around
- Could there still be life in Kenton's swing
- With the Kennedys gone and everything
- Those sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors
- Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers
- Riots down the street and discontented mothers
- We do what we can
- Downstairs it's quiet
- Less alive somehow
- Somehow he was everything that I am now
- And he says
- I do what I can
- I work for a living
- And that's who I am
- And that's who I am
- But it's good to be alive
- And these are the choices
- We make to survive
- You do what you can
- Come to me now
- And lay your hands over me
- Even if it's a lie
- Say it will be alright
- And I shall believe
- I'm broken in two
- And I know you're on to me
- That I only come home
- When I'm so all alone
- But I do believe
- That not everything is gonna be the way
- You think it ought to be
- It seems like every time I try to make it right
- It all comes down on me
- Please say honestly you won't give up on me
- And I shall believe
- And I shall believe
- Open the door
- And show me your face tonight
- I know it's true
- No one heals me like you
- And you hold the key
- Never again
- would I turn away from you
- I'm so heavy tonight
- But your love is alright
- And I do believe
- That not everything is gonna be the way
- You think it ought to be
- It seems like every time I try to make it right
- It all comes down on me
- Please say honestly
- You won't give up on me
- And I shall believe
- I shall believe
