The Major

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down the street on one leg A major with a mouth Is standing on a corner Near a train to somewhere south He whistles when he speaks It's the only time he does A petty two-bit thief Always in and out of love [Verse 2] His eyes are bloody red It's part of his routine Home for Sunday dinner With a widow from beneath A silver serpent tongue A face meant for a mother's love A murder in his pocket With no skin to cover up [Verse 1] (Ride) Down the street on one leg A major with a mouth (He rides) Is standing on a corner Near a train to somewhere south (Ride) He whistles when he speaks It's the only time he does (He rides) A petty two-bit thief Always in and out of love [Verse 2] His eyes are bloody red It's part of his routine (Two-bit thief) Home for Sunday dinner With a widow from beneath (Two-bit thief[?]) A silver serpent tongue A face meant for a mother's love [Chorus] Two-bit thief Train down South Serpent tongue Two-bit thief Train down South Serpent tongue [Verse 1] Down the street on one leg A major with a mouth Is standing on a corner Near a train to somewhere south He whistles when he speaks It's the only time he does A petty two-bit thief Always in and out of love [Verse 2] His eyes are bloody red It's part of his routine Home for Sunday dinner With a widow from beneath A silver serpent tongue A face meant for a mother's love [Chorus] Two-bit thief Train down South Serpent tongue Two-bit thief Train down South Serpent tongue [Verse 1] Down the street on one leg A major with a mouth (Two-bit thief) Is standing on a corner Near a train to somewhere south (Train down South) He whistles when he speaks It's the only time he does (Serpent tongue) A petty two-bit thief Always in and out of love [Verse 2] His eyes are bloody red It's part of his routine (Two-bit thief) Home for Sunday dinner With a widow from beneath (Train down South) A silver serpent tongue A face meant for a mother's love (Serpent tongue) [Chorus] Two-bit thief Train down South Serpent tongue Two-bit thief Train down South Serpent tongue
