Barbary Coast (Later) (Full Band)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a dancehall there where the sick folks go Like the olden days on the Barbary Coast There's a barefoot child, she's playing in the rain You can sell your wares even if they're hot In the great bazaar or the parking lot 'Cause it takes a while to know who to blame I might have a taste, 'cause the first one's free And the checkout girl's got a thing for me And they're both as sweet as the day is long [Chorus] I don't wanna feel stuck, baby I just wanna get drunk before noon [Verse 2] I don't mind my head when there's room to dream Feel like Paul Gauguin painting breadfruit trees In some far-off place where I don't belong Tried to lose myself in the primitive In Yosemite like John Muir did But his eyes were blue, and mine are red and raw 'Cause the modern world is a sight to see It's a stimulant, it's pornography It takes all my will not to turn it off [Chorus] Don't want you to feel sad, baby I take everything back, I swear I do [Bridge] 'Cause once all the friends I had Have used me up and left I'll bet you hang around I'll bet you hang around a while
