Stan Ridgway - The gumbo man lyrics

rate me

Water is crashin'

On the rocks down below

A side window rolls down

On an El Dorado

Hear the hush of the voices

There's a flash from inside

And nobody bothers to conceal

What they cannot hide

Chorus:

So if you see the gumbo man

Tell him now he's gotta change his plan

Stir it left and stir it right

Eat it up until it's gone from sight

From the top of a lighthouse

A beacon shone out

I draw a map to remember

What nobody found out

I woke up in the morning

Stared in the glass

I took a walk down the street

And saw you comin' past

Chorus repeat x2

There's a worry on the burner

A cold wind rushin' in

And nobody did get out

But somebody did get in

I hear a creak on the stairway

Outside the door

Blue metal voices

Are beggin' for more

Chorus repeat x2
