Conells - Stand Up Man lyrics

rate me

No silence on the streets, dirty feet, you cannot sleep<br />

Your taxi is your home<br />

You want to clean it up, the dirty scum, the filthy bums<br />

You write when you're alone<br />

<br />

But you cannot close your eyes and time goes on<br />

And Betsy let you down<br />

You thought you had it right<br />

<br />

No you wouldn't wait man<br />

Took the trouble in your own hand<br />

You wouldn't believe it when she wouldn't leave it <br />

Stand up man<br />

<br />

So the senator needs a ride, didn't you<br />

Didn't you imagine if he died? <br />

The jealous husband met his match, get a gun, darlin' one<br />

Did you thank him for his cash? <br />

<br />

Your shooting days are done, drive a cab, pay the tab<br />

Guess the war is won<br />

No silence on the street, dirty feet, you cannot sleep<br />

Your taxi is your home<br />

<br />

But you cannot close your eyes and time goes on<br />

And Iris let you down<br />

You thought you had it right
