Lyrics

all there ever is


standing up there at the top of the stair
counting the holes in the wall
and each one?s a story of somebody?s moving
or somebody losing control

Jackie said Hi! ? she heard I?d drop by
said next time she?d come herself
but her mother fell down and she can?t get around
so Jackie stayed with her to help

that?s what she said
that?s all there was
that?s all there ever is

you know Chico with the hat?
seems some place he was at
a party, the ?A? list, he said
they ate caviar and Chico worked the bar
says it?s easy around people like that

then he went and got involved
with some woman he don?t know
seems her husband was in on it too
and they all ended up in a hotel somewhere
with million dollar view

that?s what he said
that?s all there was
that?s all there ever is

he?s over there with his wounded air
no poetry or comedy
and if it were me
I?d try to be stronger than that

standing alone at fork in the road
and the ?Padre? strolls up into view
says some shit had gone down that involves Linda Brown
and they called out the boys in blue

when Linda was young ? man, she coulda been the one
the woman I?d like to call mine
but then she fell down through a hole in the ground
and it looks like she?ll have to do time

that?s what I say
that?s all there is
that?s all there ever is
