Rosie and Pauly — текст песни (Joshua Kadison)

Rosie and Pauly in the back alley...
the funniest twosome that you ever did see.
Standing on a trash can, Pauly talks.
If he ain`t too drunk and his words are clear
he gives the prettiest sermon you ever did hear
while Rosie wags her tail by the collection box.
When I`m low on inspiration
I go down and join the congregation.

Chorus:
Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul.
Everybody`s tryin` but you never do know
and it sure feels good to say, "Amen.
" Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul.
It`s driving me crazy and I`m losing control
but you always help me get it back together again.


Neffertiti and the girls are there fanning themselves on Eddie`s back stair.
Pauly always sets their souls on fire.
Movin` and shakin` and wavin` their hands,
raisin` their voices to a far-away land,
they start in singing like a great big choir.
With harmonies that sound so sweet
you forget all about the trash beneath your feet.


CHORUS


Call him a Messiah,
or just another clown,
but somethin` about the trash can prophet
always leads me to a higher ground.


CHORUS
