At the corner, my sister With a leather hat in her hand She's begging from strangers With a waltz for their curious eyes "Could you spare us a blanket? Or the shirt from your back Don't you think our music paints a luscious scene? And I swear, you'd be helping out To keep us alive, and keep us all drunk Somebody care, somebody stop, and listen My sister's waltzing for you..." And then there's the evening That drags itself into view Busy with all of those costume balls And dinners late at night for two But sometimes they go dancing So we find a cool place to hide And practice all of our fancy moves So we can wow them back to paradise Playing for the streets Playing for the lights I'm playing for the drunks On a Saturday night But ain't this a mystery What a fine, fine mess I got nothing to show For years at my best I don't have an office Or a new fax machine There's cracks in my ceiling There's holes in my jeans And the sky is so quiet But the buildings are loud This city's got every sad saga stored In a kitchen somewhere, or in a bedroom somewhere Screaming at their wives or their children or their mothers, or their brothers Or their sisters, or their cousins or their cats, or their dogs I always say that there's nothing about life To keep me from drifting from corner to corner To corner to corner to corner to corner To corner to corner to corner to corner To corner... that ain't no way to live But ain't this a mystery What a fine, fine mess I got nothing to show For years at my best I don't have an office Or a new fax machine There's cracks in my ceiling There's holes in my jeans It's been this way since when I don't remember It's been this way since when I don't remember It's been this way since when I don't remember It's been this way since when I don't remember Ain't this a mystery What a fine, fine mess I got nothing to show For years at my best I don't have an office Or a new fax machine There's cracks in my ceiling My ceiling
