Meet Me on the Corner

I can't sleep, I can't eat

I'm a drummer and I can't keep the beat

And when I wake up tomorrow

There'll be something wrong with my feet

I turn left and turn right

But my eyes are open all night

I won't wake up tomorrow

For God's sake I'm already awake

You can lay out a spread a mile long

Or plenty of capital song

I don't want a little of that

I'm already fat

My appetite's spread to Hong Kong

So you see where I am

I got no bread but plenty of jam

And when I wake up tomorrow

My tears will be bursting the dam

Won't you meet me on the corner 'bout half past two

Can't you hear me calling you

Ain't there something you can do

To shed a little light

To make it all right

So the dog won't bite

And I can sleep all night

I'm in some kind of fix

I'm a drummer and I can't find a stitch

And when I wake up tomorrow

I'll be forgetting all of my licks

Am I down on my luck

If it walks like a duck it's a duck

And I see myself walking

Over there someone just dropped a buck

You can book me a bar

A world rat cruise

Give me the house that I choose

Where do I sign

To make it all mine

Did I just hear some more made up news

But that's the way it goes

There's a steady stream at the door

If I try locking that door

They'll be breaking it down that's for sure

Won't you meet me on the corner 'bout half past two

Can't you hear me calling you

Ain't there something you can do

To shed a little light

To make it all right

So the dog won't bite

And I can sleep all night

So you see what I got

I got some kind of weird F-Y

I better work on my story

Or at least begin to give it a shot

You can lay out a spread a mile long

Or plenty of capital song

I don't want a little of that

I'm already fat

My appetite's spread to Hong Kong

So you see where I am

I got no bread but plenty of jam

But when I wake up tomorrow

My tears will be bursting the dam

Won't you meet me on the corner 'bout half past two

Can't you hear me calling you

Ain't there something you can do

To shed a little light

To make it all right

So the dog won't bite

And I can sleep all night

That's the way it goes

There's a steady stream at the door

If I try locking that door

They'll be breaking it down

They'll be breaking it down

They'll be breaking it down that's for sure
