This Crooked City (Alternate Take)

(album: Early Songs & Rarities - 2020)

If you need some money
I swear I'll steal millions
And take care of you, my darling

My eyes are bloodshot and she blushed
Yes, she cared about everything wrong
She took out money and counted it
If God exists it'll be alright

Then we had a couple of beers
And we're here today to roll way outta here
And on the second date the sun was handed down
Sunset like Halloween lights over this crooked city

If you need some money
I swear I'll steal millions
And take care of you, my darling
If you need some money
I swear I'll steal millions
And take care of you, my darling

Left the dust cloud behind us
Helpless in the dark
I love the black and blue confusion
On the shoulders of a hustler
A joke, these narrow streets
Then took off with wings
And grew horns to clear a pathway

Baby, if ya need money
I swear, I'll steal millions
And I'll take care of you, darling

If you need some money
I swear I'll steal millions
And take care of you, my darling
If you need some money
I swear I'll steal millions
And take care of you, my darling
If you need some money
I swear I'll steal millions
I will take care of you, darling
If you need some money
I swear I'll steal millions
And take care of you, darling
