take me into town

Singer:dr. dog

well i've been waiting for the rain to break

but i guess my waiting's through

it's been dry as a bone since 1982

and i've been trying to protect myself

with these possessions i keep on his walls

all my books and my records but they don't give me shadow at all

we're not smart enough to know that i but

come on come on come on

take me into town

take me into town

oh did you see my boots when you walked in

y'know i guess this shirt'll do

i'm broke as a monkey and i could use a drop or two

well i know just what i'll do when i get there

you know i saw it in a magazine

i can get so low you'll have to bill me from off of the street

we're not smart enough to know but i

come on come on come on

take me into town

take me into town

take me into town

take me into town

take me into town

take me into town

well i've been talking to the dog for days

but you know it's just no use

she's sitting like a sphinx and i can't get to the truth

and i've been staring at the floor for days

trying to figure out what it all means

but i know when i'm awake i'm dumber in my dreams

we're not smart enough to know but i

come on come on come on

take me into town

take me into town

take me into town

take me into town
