patto - singing the blues on reds lyrics

when you move, how your tambourine jangles
when you finish your song, you’re in tangles
as you talk, everyone strains to hear you
they’re hanging all around the walls for a clear view
on the floor, open+mouthed fascination
and you stop everyone’s hip conversation
you get paid far too much, so you tell them
but they roar with delight, so you just grin

singing the blues on reds, sleeping in hotel beds
singing the blues on reds, keeping an eye on the feds
singing the blues on reds, sleeping in hotel beds
singing the blues on reds, keeping an eye on the feds
if they’ve heard it before, they go apesh+t
a stoned chick burns her bra to your big hit
you shout “joy to the world” and you wave
and you wonder if they’re hip to brother dave
then you slow it right down with a blueser
a blind man sonny howling methuselah
as the guitar roars into his solo
they spotlight the bass but it’s all dough

singing the blues on reds, sleeping in hotel beds
singing the blues on reds and keeping an eye on the feds
singing the blues on reds and scr+w+ng in hotel beds
singing the blues on reds, keeping an eye on the feds

blind with sweat, around the bend with emotion
you bring the band to a stop with a motion
as you rock to and fro, your head’s shaking
you tell ’em “this one’s the last”, you ain’t faking
you rock harder and louder each encore
you wave peace to the crowd, then there’s no more
you sit, dripping backstage, feeling halfdead
but you went a storm, man, you made so much bread

singing the blues on reds, sleeping in hotel beds
singing the blues on reds, keeping an eye on the feds
singing the blues on reds, sleeping in hotel beds
singing the blues on reds, keeping an eye on the feds, they’ll get you
hand me my golden overcoat, give me my key to the city
signal my trained rhinoceros for a quick getaway
excuse me, would you hand me all that money?
stick with me, holy roadie, i’m gonna show you the world
