Blues For Rosann

(album: Applause - 2011)

Look at us now we got this far
But far she says only China is
I step aside, I make place
For the gambler with my face

Would you swim with me?
I'd be thrilled honestly
Would you swim with me?
I'd be thrilled honestly
Would you bring me the head of the girls that I met?
I've heard the the jugglers who threw me here
Return this day next year

I felt like shit before
But when I think of my baby leaving
I can't take this smell no more
I walked this street before
I ain't the one that is moving, baby
But this town ain't like home anymore

How many friends should I sleep with in here
To make the weight of my burden all clear?
I'm passing on my highest card
Now the gambler took my part

Would you swim with me?
I'd be thrilled honestly
Would you swim with me?
I'd be thrilled honestly
Would you bring me the head of the girl I was with?
And all the jugglers who threw me here
And all the boxers they step out of the ring
Take their bathrobes and sing

I felt like shit before
But when I think of my baby leaving
I can't take this smell no more
I walked this street before
I ain't the one that is moving, baby
But this town ain't like home anymore

The boxers sang with the carnival band
