The Hunchback of San Francisco

Perry Blake


Morning has broken the silence of night 
Now you'll have to use kindness to fight 
It's just like asbestos, it sticks to your skin 
It burns within 

Luck is a hunchback, travelling light 
With rags and transistors to hold up the sky 
Drink to the hearts that San Francisco stole 
But drink slow 

'Cause I'm a lonely Man 
And you're a lonely Girl 
And it's a lonely world 

If you make Vegas, leave on the lights 
I want to see your expression change 
Hatred will take us to unknown heights 
Drink slow 

'Cause I'm a lonely Man 
And you're a lonely Girl 
And it's a lonely world
