alex & the people - bombshelter blues lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
a madman’s got the deal
he’s tryin’ to fool us now
got nothing left to steal
but the crying sounds
in walks mrs. valentine
with her cabaret
and the union miners
who have nothing left to pray
a brewer and an artist
they’re unsure what it means
they tell the weary masses
‘tis nothing but a dream

[chorus]
donny’s on the trigger
he’s had too much booze
johnny’s playing darts
but he always lose
so i’m diggin’ down
singin’ the bombshelter blues

[verse 2]
colluding in the corner
are shakespeare and his gang
writing messy love affairs
while the waitress eats her ring
sticking up the joint
are a banker and a nun
the green+nosed politician
thinks it’s just for fun
the general and the sheriff
are playin’ blind man’s bluff
shootin’ at the dark
think fredrick’s had enough

[chorus]
donny’s on the trigger
he’s had too much booze
johnny’s playing darts
but he always lose
so i’m diggin’ down
singin’ the bombshelter blues

[verse 3]
there was a fire in the kitchen
but cooks were all thrown out
the dj spins his disks
he knows what it’s about
the level+headed carpenter
is nailed to his truth
says gin’s his new religion
drops sun in his vermouth
the critic and the author
they’re lost out in the woods
where smokey lights a match
it all ends like it should

[chorus]
donny’s on the trigger
he’s had too much booze
johnny’s playing darts
but he always lose
i’m diggin’ down
singin’ the bombshelter
i’m diggin’ down
singin’ the bombshelter
i’m diggin’ down
singin’ the bombshelter blues
