Do Not Disturb

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She had a do not disturb sign hanging off her back She looked taller than she was in her tapered slacks Calculated head of hair and cowboy boots She said, "I'm a country girl from down on Eighth Avenue" She bought a bottle of wine Two bananas and a New York Times The man behind the counter smiled this time [Refrain] Can't blame him boys I heard him sigh above the dirty white noise [Verse 2] I saw a poodle in a parking lot look just like you Sitting in a pink Cadillac with a view Waiting for his mistress with a beret on his head And I, I wanted to laugh but it wasn't funny yet It was a quarter to nine Hе was running on Las Vegas time Show's about to start so stand in line [Refrain] Can't blamе him boys I heard him sigh above the dirty white noise [Verse 3] Three women in the front seat of a 60's Chevrolet Fins and wings and the rattle of tailpipe Driving down a New York City street like it was day But it was 2 AM and they were stuck at a red light Somebody whistled behind Thought the three looked like a valentine But the bumper sticker read Treat Her Right [Refrain] Can't blame 'em boys I heard 'em sigh above the dirty white noise [Verse 4] He was watching the TV like it was really gonna talk Watching it close like it was really gonna walk Some woman on the screen was getting killed again It was a rerun of the rerun where they all die in the end Don't know why He was a big fan of the violent crime Remote control was hidden in his eyes [Refrain] Can't blame him boys I heard him sigh above the dirty white noise [Verse 5] We were sitting in a cafe designed by Paul Klee I asked myself, is this real or a toupee Everybody was so young they still smoked cigarettes I guess the collective unconscious hasn't woken up yet It was a quarter to nine We were running on Las Vegas time Show's about to start so stand in line [Refrain] Can't blame us boys And we all sigh above the dirty white noise [Outro] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
