Stan Ridgway The Gumbo Man
Water is crashin' on the rocks down below A side window rolls down on an El Dorado Hear the hush of the voices...there's a flash from inside And no one bothers to conceal what they cannot hide CHORUS So if you see the gumbo man Tell him now he's gotta change his plan Stir it left and stir it right Eat it up until it's gone from sight Frome top of the lighthouse a beacon shown down Draw a map to remember what nobody found out I woke up in the mornin'...stared in the glass I took a walk down the street, then saw you comin' past CHORUS There's a worry on the burner A cold wind rushin' in And nobody got out, but somebody did get in There's a creak on the stairway outside the door Blue metal voices are beggin' for more CHORUS ---------------------------------------------------------------
