Ballad Of The Sad Café

[Verse]
As the comic read angel spread her legs
The bar made it's last call
And only the ghost's bloodstained eyes
Stares empty 'pon the wall
The drunkard stumbles down the stairs
The jukebox broken down
And a sailor says goodbye the next round

[Verse]
Harper Valleys, ms. Johnson
Looks great with shaggy hair
And the corner by the jukebox
There's an empty, dirty chair
When courier used to sit and cry
Before he ran away
Oh, the ballad of the sad café

[Chorus]
Where the heart is a lonely hunter
Where you hardly ever see a smiling face
And your pals' names are like Daniels and Walker
And life is like an endless maze

[Verse]
Hey, it's Tom Boids playing piano in the corner
By the dark lord, you can see Jack Dempsey's face in a frame
A midget claims he didn't hear the bar maid say last call
As the hooker falls asleep by the wall

[Verse]
Voulez-vous, says the caging girl
And riddles down the stair
A gentleman behind her
Has got his eyes filled with tears
And no one seems to have noticed
What Jesus had to say
Of the ballas of the sad café

[Chorus]
Where the heart is a lonely hunter
Where you hardly ever see a smiling face
And your pals' names are like Daniels and Walker
And life is like an endless maze

It's so sad, baby
