Lyrics
Doctor's leavin' for the holiday season
Got crystal ice picks
No gift for the gab
And in the parking lot
Is the sedan he bought
He never
He never complains when it's hot
He foaled a swollen daughter in a sauna playing contract bridge
They're soakin' up the fun or doin' blotters, I don't know which
Which
Which
Boys are dyin' on these streets
I know the medical world could knock you out
To sell the coins that you jayed last Thursday, hey
Dine by candlelight
And hold your savings tight
You never
You never know when the bridge falls apart
He spoke of latent causes
Sterile gauzes and the bedside morale
He traipse around the table talkin' sentences so incomplete-plete-plete
Boys are dying on these streets
