^DTurning tricks on sunset, ^F#mtwenty bucks a pop Some ^Bmout of town old business man or an ^Gundercover cop ^DI'm living with a virus flowing ^Bmway down in my veins ^GOh I wish it would rai^Dn

^DI know you've heard my story or ^F#mseen me on the street ^BmJust another cracker gigolo dressed ^Gup like trick or treat ^DNow you may want to judge me or ^Bmtreat me with disdain ^GOh I wish it would ^Drain

^GMemphis, Texas; Houston, Tennesee Man I'm ^Djust so turned around I don't know where I want to be ^GThis California desert is driving me insane ^DOh I wish it would ^Grain

^DSo I've squandered my resistance, taking ^F#many kind of drug I'd ^Bmsmoke or shoot or eat it, I'd ^Gdrink it from a jug ^DI offer no excuses for your ^Bmsympathies to gain ^GOh I wish it would ^Drain

^GEverybody knows me as the kid I've ^Dmade it seven years still I don't know how I did ^GI come from a long line of live and love in vain ^DOh I wish it would ^Grain

^DSo I've prayed to mother Mary, I've ^F#meven seen a priest When the ^Bmangels come to get me, I ^Gknow I'll be released I'll ^Dleave this mean old desert bound for Memphis on that train ^GOh I wish it would ^Drain (X2)
