1.TGhe motel lights were blinCkin'
2.We used to tell each other lies
3.The only song I ever knew
1.On my cDhartreuse four-door LGincoln
2.With our orange plastic button eyes
3.Was Moonlight Bay on the Avenue
1.On the dock the fish were stCinkin'
2.In a former life on a motel chair
3.These are tales from the Devil's Chin
1.I simply dDidn't have a cGare.
2.I was Charlie Parker's Teddy Bear
3.Charlie I could've been a contender
1.And the old men sit 'round the craCcker barrels
2.Yeah, me and Bird we'd stay up late
3.And the old men sit 'round the cracker barrels
1.The chiDldren hum their ChrisGtmas Carols
2.I used to watch him contemplate
3.The children hum their Christmas Carols
1.The train tracks all run parCallel
2.While his horn would sit by the window and wait
3.The train tracks all run parallel
1.But they'llD all meet up oGne day
2.Till it was time for him to blow it
3.But they'll all meet up one day
CHORUS:
On a dGusty pew in a vesCtibule
Sits the DDevil playing poGcket pool
He's waiting for the neCxt poor foAmol
Who forgDot that it was SGunday
