Stan Ridgway - The Gumbo Man lyrics

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 gla** 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
