lyrics

comin' down the purple hills the pink pills wrapped up in cigarette cellophane the blank spaces I can't fill
fresh kills out the interstate and its mornin' again
Its always mornin again hopin I’m not too late born too late
out of time out of state plates
Actin’ like a gumshoe
Lonely women and cheap booze searchin' for a clue for your next move actin' like à gum shoe
In that tropical monsoon
Through the dirty traffic
with the Miami blues
and I've listened to all you lies checked off ail your alibis only the best daddy money can buy anything neglected I’m none the wise and they say its almost always somebody close
You’d least suspect right under your nose
But the truth is what I need the most
My eyes could see it but my mind just won’t
