Noirsville Tune of the Week

Mr. Siegel

I spent all my money in a Mexican whorehouse baby

cross the street from a Catholic church

and I wiped off my revolver

and I buttoned up my burgundy shirt

I shot the morning in the back with my red wings on

told the sun he better go back down

and if I can find a book of matches

I'm goin to burn this hotel down

you got to tell me brave captain

why are the wicked so strong

how do the angels get to sleep

when the devil leaves his porch light on

well I dropped thirty grand on the nugget slots

I had to sell my ass on Fremont Street

and the drummer said theres sanctuary

over at the bagdad room

oh and now thats one for the money two for the show

three to get ready and go man go

I said tell me mister Siegel

how do I get out of here

Willard's knocked out on a bottle of heat

drivin dangerous curves across the dirty sheets

he said man you ought to see her when her parents are gone

man you ought to hear her when the sirens on

I said tell me brave captain

why are the wicked so strong

how do the angels get to sleep

when the devil leaves the porch light on

don't you know that ain't no broken bottle that I picked up in my headlights

on the other side of the Nevada line

where they live hard die young

and have a good lookin corpse every time

well you know the pit boss said: I should keep movin

this is where you go when you die

so I shot a black beauty

and I kissed her right between the eyes

oh well Willard's knocked out on a bottle of heat

drivin dangerous curves across the dirty sheets

he said when the bitch is wound up and her parents are gone

man you ought to hear her with the siren on

I said tell me brave captain

why are the wicked so strong

how do the angels get to sleep

when the devil leaves his porch light on

I spent all my money now in a Mexican whorehouse

cross the street from a Catholic church

and then I wiped off my revolver

and I buttoned up my burgundy shirt

I shot the morning in the back with my red wings on

I told the sun he'd better go back down

and if I can find a book of matches

I'm goin to burn this hotel down

well it's one for the money two for the show

I said three to get ready and go man go

I said tell me mister Siegel

how do I get out of here
