(nick lowe/gypie mayo) White boy in town Big black, blue sound Night club, I paid in I got a stamp on my skin Main attraction dead on his feet Black man rhythm with a white boy beat They got him on milk and alcohol They got him on milk and alcohol Stay put I wanna go Hard work, bad show More liquor, it don't help He's gonna die, it breaks my heart I decided eventually This ain't doing a thing for me They got him on milk and alcohol They got him on milk and alcohol - guitar solo - They got him on milk and alcohol They got him on milk and alcohol They got him on milk and alcohol They got him on milk and alcohol Got up, I walked out To the car, start it up Feel bad, sad night I never saw a red light Sirens were a screamin' all around I pulled on over and I shut her down A black cop gave me a shove with his gun Said up against the wall and don't make a run They got me on milk and alcohol They got me on milk and alcohol
