Catherine Street

Moonlight dancer

High romancin'

Down on Catherine Street

Lover's cramps and

Household tramps

Down on dirty Catherine Street

Me and my woman just bustin' our heads

Down on old Taneray Road, yeah

The needle works the railroad tracks

I guess ya know how local stories all go

Yeah, but listen a minute

But if ya find your mind lies broke down in the stores

And if your dreams become the refuge of your soul

Don't ask the dealer to be fair

Your soul ain't good enough to spare

When you're all the way down

On Catherine Street

The days are passing vaguely

Down on Catherine Street

A few of them

The normal hours

Of any normal street

My head changed hands so

Lord, so many times

I could not feel to speak

And when I finally

Get to talking, well

Then my knees start gettin' weak

But if ya find your mind lies broke down in the stores

And if your dreams become the refuge of your soul

Don't ask the dealer to be fair

Your soul ain't good enough to spare

When you're all the way down

On Catherine Street

You know they keep the dogs

All chained up

Down on Catherine Street

Sometimes it's hard to find any

Place to hide

From the goddamned heat

Besides, most of us are just

Biding our time

'Till we get back on our feet

Oh mama

I'll be back on my feet one of these days

Yeah

You just see if I don't

Ya know

Ya can't keep a good man down for too long

And I'm coming on up

I feel good

Lord I feel good

Oh my God!

So far down

So far down

So far down
