John Mellencamp - Orpheus Descending lyrics
[John Mellencamp - Orpheus Descending lyrics]
Well you can't go here
And you can't go there
The police say
You can't go anywhere
Can't make it up to heaven
We got no place to land
Guns and war
And clubs in their hand
Do you think we'll see the light
Before the blood hits the street
I don't care what they say
If there's a will
There's got to be a way
If there's a will
There's always a f... way
There's a broke-down shack
Out on alphabet street
Take a streetcar named "Desire"
If you can take the heat
There's a yellow-haired snake
That can get us in for free
With her gaslight stories
And a body like you wouldn't believe
Do you think we'll see the light
Before the blood hits the street
I don't care what they say
If there's a will
There's got to be a way
If there's a will
There's always a f... way
We got a weasel in the pot
Filthy romance all around
Orpheus is descending
On the hellish side of town
Let's try to get ourselves
A front row seat
Orpheus and what's-her-name
This is gonna be sweet
Darkness has found us
With the blood up to our knees
I don't care what they say
If there's a will
There's got to be a way
If there's a will
There's always a f... way
And you can't go there
The police say
You can't go anywhere
Can't make it up to heaven
We got no place to land
Guns and war
And clubs in their hand
Do you think we'll see the light
Before the blood hits the street
I don't care what they say
If there's a will
There's got to be a way
If there's a will
There's always a f... way
There's a broke-down shack
Out on alphabet street
Take a streetcar named "Desire"
If you can take the heat
There's a yellow-haired snake
That can get us in for free
With her gaslight stories
And a body like you wouldn't believe
Do you think we'll see the light
Before the blood hits the street
I don't care what they say
If there's a will
There's got to be a way
If there's a will
There's always a f... way
We got a weasel in the pot
Filthy romance all around
Orpheus is descending
On the hellish side of town
Let's try to get ourselves
A front row seat
Orpheus and what's-her-name
This is gonna be sweet
Darkness has found us
With the blood up to our knees
I don't care what they say
If there's a will
There's got to be a way
If there's a will
There's always a f... way
