Dr. Dog - Take Me Into Town lyrics

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 shelter at all
We're both smart enough to know better

Come on come on come on 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
Peel me from off of the street
We're both smart enough to know better

Come on come on come on 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 and
I'm dumber in my dreams
We're both smart enough to know better

Come on come on come on take me into town
