Racquel Blue

Waiting on the curb at the gangster airport
The prettiest girl that you ever did see
On boiling concrete a blinding smile
She switched a shift now she's waiting for me

Gonna take me for a ride up the suicide highway
Past the souvenir shacks and the downed drug plane
Past Rose Hall and the old slave jail
To the lightning waters of Glistening Bay

Walking in these marijuana shoes
Watching the cruise ships as they cruise
You do what you gotta do
Yeah, do what you gotta go
I'd do it if I had to too
There's nothing herе to prove

The dogs of Falmouth snap at my heels
They overtook me up near Kerry Park
Through the garbage fires and abandoned driers
Hey, white boy, what you doin' in the dark?
I'm tryin' to stay away from that suicide highway
I got twisted around and now I'm back where I been
My friend Racquel she said she'd meet me
For a drink at the Sober Robin Inn

Walking in these marijuana shoes
Watching the cruise ships as they cruise
You do what you gotta do
Yeah, do what you gotta go
I'd do if I had to too
There's nothing here to prove
Racquel blue
Racquel blue
Racquel blue

Then the music started just about midnight
Through the blown out speakers heard an upward strum
My friend Miss Una Barrett told me
That it's Leroy's place and he plays the drums
I know we never made a promise
It was clear right from the start
I'll forever be a tourist
And you forever break my heart

Walking in these marijuana shoes
Watching the cruise ships as they cruise
You do what you gotta do
Do what you gotta go
I'd do if I had to too
There's nothing here to prove
Racquel blue
