lyrics

The needle is a lover and the lover is a liar,
LA burns like a junkie on fire,
red crows flies, murder in the eyes,
road runs crooked as a strong man's lies,
white dove moaning, hawk's eye glowing,
blood like water and the water is flowing,
fist in the glove, and the glove is smoking,
joker in the alley but he ain't joking.

Is that rain coming down, or is that gasoline?
Oh Susanna light that match, let's find out where we've been.

Carnival schemers and buffalo bones,
shattered arrows and runaway stones,
Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Roman Nose,
Skull Lady danced as the dust storm rose,
there's proud Mary, she ain't proud,
turn up the music and turn it up loud,
Old Man River at the center of a crowd,
he wants to lie down, but it's not allowed.

Is that rain coming down, or is that gasoline?
Oh Susanna light that match, let's find out where we've been.
Is that rain coming down, or is that gasoline?
Oh Susanna light that match, let's find out where we've been.

Nose to the ground like an old bloodhound,
hot on the scent, but nothing's found,
lights flash, signals pound, Captain Ahab loves that sound,
free wheel spinning, blood on the floor,
whose that knocking on my door,
painted lady cries on the other side of town,
how come you don't come around.

Is that rain coming down, or is that gasoline?
Oh Susanna light that match, let's find out where we've been.
Is that rain coming down, or is that gasoline?
Oh Susanna light that match, let's find out where we've been.

The needle is a lover and the lover is a liar,
and LA burns like a junkie on fire.
