ANOTHER LOST SON OF GYPSY ROSE LEE

we were reading tea leaves and smoking grass
watching pieces of ourselves melt into the past
we kept stripping and singing, hoping the money'd roll in
and I guess I'd do it all again

hey we hit that chitlin circuit
wore it out for fifteen years
didn't earn much but some rocks in our pockets
and a ringing in our ears

(chorus)
I'm just another lost son of Gypsy Rose Lee
I'm naked but I'm not on my knees
I heard something higher than I really had a right to know
but just watch how low I'll go to shake down the show
watch how low I'll go to shake down the show
anytime

I see you see past my dark eyes
you see what I remember and what I realize
we kept stripping and singing, hoping the money'd roll in
the loudest band there's ever been

hey we hit that chitlin circuit
wore it out for fifteen years
didn't earn much but some dead blue kisses
and a ringing in our ears

(chorus)

and when that curtain starts to fall
that's when we do the backstage crawl
