[00:29.36]I started out on burgundy
[00:31.93]But soon hit the harder stuff
[00:38.98]My friends all said that they'd stand beside me
[00:43.16]After the gun run rough
[00:48.46]But the joke was on me
[00:50.93]There was nobody even there to call my bluff
[00:57.98]I'm going back to New York City
[01:00.36]I do believe I've had enough
[01:13.11]Sweet Melinda
[01:14.82]The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
[01:21.73]She speaks good English
[01:23.79]And she invites you up into her room
[01:30.54]And you're so kind
[01:32.60]And careful not to go to her too soon
[01:40.11]And she steals your voice
[01:43.03]And leaves you howling at the moon
[02:26.21]When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
[02:29.95]And it's Eastertime too
[02:35.44]And your gravity fails
[02:37.90]And negativity don't pull you through
[02:45.12]Don't put on any airs
[02:47.50]When you're down on rue morgue avenue
[02:54.01]They got some hungry women there
[02:57.14]And they really make a mess outa you
[03:03.75]Up on Housing Project Hill
[03:07.17]It's either fortune or fame
[03:13.01]You must pick up one or the other
[03:16.80]Though neither of them are to be what they claim
[03:22.32]If you're lookin' to get silly
[03:24.49]You better go back to from where you came
[03:32.06]Because the cops don't need you here
[03:35.24]And what they expect the same
[04:28.19]I started out on burgundy
[04:30.71]But soon hit the harder stuff
[04:37.45]My friends all said that they'd stand beside me
[04:41.59]After the gun run rough
[04:46.99]But the joke was on me
[04:49.20]There was nobody even there to call my bluff
[04:56.10]I'm going back to New York City
[04:58.89]I do believe I've had enough
[05:05.30]I'm going back to New York City
[05:08.16]I do believe I've had enough
