Broken Strings and Bottles

[Verse] Rattle in the gutter broken glass cuts my feet Jug player's breath stinks of sour mash and defeat Guitar's out of tune missing strings can't compete Crooked smiles stretched wide feel the rhythm of the street [Verse 2] Bassline thick as sludge from the swamps of despair Tambourine shakes like the devil's in the air Harmonicas wail life ain't never been fair Drums thunder like gods ain't no room for a prayer [Chorus] Kick up the dust scream till our throats dry Broken strings and bottles watch the notes fly Loose souls dancing as the moon sighs Jug band rocking raw under dirty skies
