Ballad Of A Salesman Who Sold Himself

There was moonlight and laughter

That danced on the sands

And bloodstained pianos

Are played without hands

Such a promising music

Sweet whispers and dreams

From a traveling window,

The salesman who screamed.

Moonlight, Saturday night

It`s now or never

Oh play Stormy Weather,

for me, for me.

I lived in the flower shop

Called "Love is So Sweet!"

And I get all my kicks

From the customers` feet.

Well, I`m just a stranger,

None stranger than I.

My head in the quicksand

My feet in the sky.

I was carefully crazy

When playing the game.

`Cause business is business

And I`m not to blame.

Climb on my back

It`s a wet afternoon ;

A bottle of booze,

A bit of a tune to sing;

Goodbye, everything;

Goodbye, everything
