Well, I found your secret hiding place

When you run from him, you paint your face

An over-sized overcoat

Who has wingtips made from dumb dead goats!

So beauty's of a tenderloin(?)

Shared the beds with metal coins (Shared the bets with men of coins?)

What they say, is it truth?

Corruption's nothing but a playful bruise!

Hey!

Is anybody even listening?

'Cause Dixie ain't

The only thing I'm whistling

The high-priest of expenses paid

Could not afford to break a date (a day?)

The lower serve the greasy streets

Broke every day, but never cheat!

It's not a crime to keep what you find

To follow me is a felony

You look to me as far as I can tell

If looks could kill, then I's be swell! (?)

The high horse you rode on is as stubborn as a mule!

I see him follow words as just another sign(?)

To refuse! (To refute? To review?)

Hey! (Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da)

Is anybody even listening?

'Cause dixie ain't, (Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da!)

The only thing I'm whistling

Hey! (Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da)

Is anybody even fixing this?

'Cause I'm a broken man! (Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da!)

And the jokes aren't listening(jokes are missin' it), yeah!

[Instrumental Solo]

Well I thought I saw Christ in a bar

He smelled of Old Spice, cheap cigars

Spoke in soft-toned soliloquies

Broken thoughtful(?) and Portuguese

I plea flippant recipient

The man's a sea of malcontent

You can torch the parts that break your heart

You gotta finish what you start

Love is a risky game we play

And life ain't as safe as I say

Gotta learn to __ game ___ pissing (pissing?) off

____ passes! (All of our spouses!)

Hey! (Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da)

Is anybody even listening?

'Cause dixie ain't, (Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da!)

The only thing I'm whistling

Hey! (Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da)

If anyone comes a-visiting

I've woken up, (Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba)

And of course gone missing (Oh! Yes! Gone missing!), hey hey!
