Testo Houston Street - Jack Hardy
Testo della canzone Houston Street (Jack Hardy), tratta dall'album The Mirror of My Madness
A man lay dead on Houston street
Though i could not feel the pain
The path of least resistance
Is driving me insane
And it is hard to please your conscience
When all of love's a crime
And it is hard to call the police
With your last lousy dime
I know you're just laughing
'cause there's nothing else to do
But you might die laughing
'cause the joke's on you
Crazy alice was a would-be actress
Until she got bored with the lines
And started practicing insanity
When she got no valentines
Now she plays the part of a lover
In the late-night pickup bars
And i might go on home with her
If i didn't mind the scars
I know you're just laughing
'cause there's nothing else to do
But you might die laughing
'cause the joke's on you
I never had a nathan's hotdog
Until the old man died
So you couldn't call him famous
You could only say he lied
And the proof ain't in the pudding
When there ain't no pudding at all
And it's hard to take the kidding
When there is nowhere left to fall
I know you're just laughing
'cause there's nothing else to do
But you might die laughing
'cause the joke's on you
My dreams they reek of madness
And i try to understand
How people can rely on sadness
As the only card in their hand
And you find out 'bout the weather
When you get rain in your eyes
And you find out who your friends are
As a consolation prize
I know you're just laughing
'cause there's nothing else to do
But you might die laughing
'cause the joke's on you
A man lay dead on houston street
He'd been dead for many days
And they all walked by with nervous feet
As though he was just drunk or dazed
After all there was nothing they could do
Like donate time or money
But i'm going on back to houston
Where they don't talk so funny
I know you're just laughing
'cause there's nothing else to do
But you might die laughing
'cause the joke's on you
Yeah, you might die laughing
'cause the joke's on you
