Gutterball - One By One lyrics

rate me

well, the Knicks lost big to Cleveland<br />

at the Garden Friday night<br />

so I wandered down Eight Avenue <br />

to get a little tight<br />

got into a little scuffle all because of Willis Reed<br />

now there's one more bar in New York <br />

I can't get me what I need<br />

<br />

one by one, the doors are closing<br />

one by one, they're shutting down<br />

one by one, the word is spreading<br />

one by one, all over town<br />

one by one, my many options<br />

one by one, they're falling down<br />

dropping off like flies<br />

one by one<br />

<br />

well, I had a job last summer writing copy for the Post<br />

the hours were a bummer,<br />

the pay was worse than most<br />

missed a couple deadlines and I got the bum's rush<br />

another golden opportunity turned to mush<br />

<br />

ch.<br />

<br />

well, I spent my last ten dollars on a longshot at the track<br />

hit on the exacta, I got 700 back<br />

now my rent is paid, I've got some groceries and some wine<br />

one by one, it all is working out<br />

everything is fine
