Stan Ridgway - Mr. smith lyrics

rate me

Can I get a light from you, Mr. Smith?

And do you know where the party is?

I've been walking a blue streak all night long

And I'm tired of looking for a place to piss

Can you tell me about yourself, Mr. Smith?

Yeah, me, you can read like an open book

I don't hide myself like some other people do

When there's gristle in the meat, I just swallow and chew

Chorus:

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,

(And) do you know where the party is?

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,

(And) do you know where the party is?

Cast your eyes around, Mr. Smith

Do you see that dog lying in the road?

Coughin' up stuff from a pigeon that died

Hit an eighteen wheeler on the 405

Chorus repeat

Do you know this neighborhood, Mr. Smith?

Used to be someplace, sometime, somewhere

People built it up from the dirt and dust,

Loanin' out money from an Eastern trust

Chorus repeat x2
