Potter`s Field
well you can buy me a drink and I`ll tell you what I seen and I`ll give you a bargain from the edge of a maniac`s dream that buys a black widow spider with a riddle in his yarn that`s clinging to the furrow of a blindman`s brow I`ll start talking from the brim of a thimble full of whiskey on a train through the Bronx that will take you just as far as the empty of a bottle to the highway of a scar that stretched across the blacktop of my cheek like that and then ducks beneath the brim of a fugitive`s hat and you`ll learn why liquor makes a stool pigeon rat on every face that ever left his shadow down on saint marks place hell I`d double cross my mother if it was whiskey that they paid and so an early bird says nightsticks on the hit parade and he ain`t got a prayer and his days are numbered and you`ll track him down like a dog well it`s a tough customer you`re getting in this trade cause the nightstick`s heart pumps lemonade well whiskey keeps a blindman talking alright and I`m the only one who knows just where he stayed last night he was in a wrecking yard in a switchblade storm in a wheelbarrow with nothing but revenge to keep him warm and a half a million dollars in unmarked bills was the nightstick`s blanket in a February chill and as the buzzard drove a crooked sky he was dealing high Chicago in the mud and stacking the deck against a dragnet`s eye a shivering nightstick in a miserable heap with the siren for a lullaby singing him to sleep he was bleeding from a buttonhole torn by a slug fired from the barrel of a two dollar gun that scorched a blister on the grip of a punk by now is learning what you have to pay to be a hero anyhow he dressed the hole in his gut with a hundred dollar bandage a king`s ransom for a bedspread that don`t amount to nuttin` just cobweb strings on a busted ukulele and the nightstick leaned on a black shillelagh with the poison of a junkie`s broken promise on his lip he staggered in the shadows screaming I ain`t never been afraid and he shot out every street light on the promenade past the frozen ham and eggers at the penny arcade throwing out handfuls of a blood stained salary they were dead in their tracks at the shooting gallery and they fired off a twenty one gun salute and from the corner of his eye he caught the alabaster orbs and from a dime a dance hall girl and stuffed a thousand dollar bill in her blouse and caught the cruel and unusual punishment of her smile and the nightstick winked beneath a rainsoaked brim ain`t no one seen hide nor hair of him see no one but a spade on Rikers Island and me and so if you`re mad enough to listen to a full of whiskey blindman then you`re mad enough to look beyond where bloodhounds dare to go so if you want to know just where the nightstick`s hiding out you be down at the ferry landing oh let`s say bout half past a nightmare when it`s twisted on a clock you tell `em nickels sentcha whiskey always makes him talk and you ask for captaing charon with the mud on his kicks he`s the skipper of the deadline steamer and she sails from the bronx across the river Styx and a riddle`s just a ticket for a dreamer cause when the weathervane`s sleeping and the moon turns his back you crawl on your belly long the railroad tracks and cross your heart and hope to die and stick a needle in your eye cause he`d cut my bleeding heart out if he found out that I squealed cause you see a scarecrow`s just a hoodlum who marked the cards that he dealed and pulled a gypsy switch out on the edge of Potter`s Field
