We sit outside and argue all night long
About a god we've never seen
But never fails to side with me
Sunday comes and all the papers say
Ma Teresa's joined the mob
And happy with her full time job
Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
Does summer come for everyone?
Can humans do as prophets say?
And if I die before I learn to speak
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
But half asleep?

Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand
"Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand"
(B.B. King sample)
I've been downhearted baby
I've been down-
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Ever since the day we met
[x2]
Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
Moonlight spills on comic books
And superstars in magazines
An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
Her plane takes off from Baltimore
And touches down on Bourbon Street
We sit outside and argue all night long
About a god we've never seen
But never fails to side with me
Sunday comes and all the papers say
Ma Teresa's joined the mob
And happy with her full time job
I've been downhearted baby
I've been down-
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Ever since the day we met
[x2]
Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
Does summer come for everyone?
Can humans do as prophets say?
And if I die before I learn to speak
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
But half asleep?
A life is time, they teach you growing up
The seconds ticking killed us all
A million years before the fall
You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
You swim like lions through the crest
And bathe yourself in zebra flesh
I've been downhearted baby
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
I've been downhearted baby
I've been down-
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Ever since the day we met
[x7]

I'm bad at picking favorites because everything is special in its own way.
I can't and won't explain why this song is engrained into my soul but it is
Did hear this yesterday while driving and it will always be a blast and sing along favorite
Was shocked this song got popular again, I was raised with it and nobody knew it when I was growing up
Some songs that will always be a part of me
I remember Your Woman! Love that song.
