Alan (Live At The Old Waldorf Nightclub/1978)

Lyrics

[Spoken] This song, is uh from the first album too which is called Read My Lips [Cheering from crowd] Had a (?) in San Francisco, but this song is called Alan It's a solo There's a man Hanging by his pants-seat While the moon Is hanging over 4th street People stop and look at him They think they understand They know that you're loaded And you're crazy And they think you're stupid You can trust me I'm your best friend Now's the time to leave Before they break your nose Rips your clothes Makes you bleed It's okay I've got money for a taxi Yeah The people in the crowd Thеy're just a bunch of creeps [crowd cheering and responding] Just the same You shouldn't blamе Your problems on the Greeks Cuz it looks like you need stitches And that lip won't heal for weeks Hey don't fall asleep Your nose bleed on my lap Hey lean against the window Hey nevermind Come back Alan... Alan... Alan... Alan Sorry Mr. Kessler Searched his pockets No key there Yeah somebody hit him Help me drag him up the stair Kessler takes a look at us He thinks he understands He knows that you're loaded And you're crazy And he thinks you're stupid I prop you at your typewriter A broomstick up your shirt I lay your hands across the keys Ah shit I'm suck a jerk You've got to be a fighter The problem with the world is They don't know That you're a writer [Guitar Solo] You get next To me
