Willy Deville Crow Jane Alley (For Jack) Lyrics

DeVille

Outside the dark hotel room
The taxis flash their lights
Garbage trucks wake you up at dawn
They turn off the neon signs.

The bar's been closed for hours
The mini bar's been stolen too
They took all the fire alarms off every wall
And they say help will be here soon.

I'd go to the drugstore for you but I'm afraid to go outside
And take a walk down that corridor they call Crow Jane Alley at night.

Beneath your feet the carpet's moldy
In the bathroom hangs a rope In the lobby's a plaque to poets
And broke down painters with no hope.

Drinking rusty water
And I'll wait with you till fall
Just don't ask me to take
That walk down Crow Jane Alley at all.

I'd go to the drugstore for you but I'm afraid to go outside
And take a walk down that corridor they call Crow Jane Alley at night
And take a walk down that corridor they call Crow Jane Alley at night
And take a walk down that corridor they call Crow Jane Alley at night.
