Testo The Torch Singer - John Prine
Testo della canzone The Torch Singer (John Prine), tratta dall'album Great Singers & Great Songs
The nightclub was burning
From the torch singer's song
And the sweat was flooding her eyes
The catwalk squeaked 'neath the bartender's feet
And the smoke was too heavy to rise
She sang of the love that left her
And of the woman that she'll never be
Made me feel like a buck and a quarter
That I paid 'em to listen and see
You paid 'em to listen and see
I was born down in Kansas
'Neath the October sky
Worked the day shift from seven to three
And the only relief that I received
Is nearer my God to thee
She constantly throws me off timing
Leaves me standing both naked and bare
Makes me feel like the Sunday funnies
After everything's gone off the air
Everything's gone off the air
I picked through the ashes
Of the torch singer's song
And I ordered my money around
For whiskey and fame both taste the same
During the time they go down
She sang of the love that left her
And of the woman that she'll never be
Made me feel like a buck and a quarter
That I paid 'em to listen and see
You paid 'em to listen and see
