Dont Lose Your Grace, Madeleine
Find her, find her, find her, lazing round like moses, on a nothing day, in a nothing way, with a 5 card trick and no one to play, hustling up the river, til the river reached the town, street rats showed her how to jive, and they all forgot their plans, making shows for gentlemen, too honest to be true, the bishop cursed your name to them, til the scandal turned him blue, she looks like a million dollars, but she feels like a thousand bucks, so she bought a wall of mirrors, and smashed her reflection up, now she wants to sell the hammers, for a ride on any bus, she says that when she gets there, she ll wish that she was with us, and I see your jailor s lost his keys again, you re on the point of sin, cigarette burns and vodka stains, don t lose your grace Madeleine, it seems like only yesterday, I was listening in, someone says to someone else, don t lose your grace Madeleine, no, I haven t seen your face of late, and I was wondering where it s been, one says to another one, don t lose your grace, Madeleine
