Pixies - Tenement Song lyrics

The drum sticks were his treasure trove
Found in the ashes of the coconut grove

Hey man, can you give me something?
Hey man, did you give me something?
Hey man, nothing comes from nothing
Hey man, something came from somewhere

Hey man, it's a tenement song
Just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on

Tenement song tenement song

Tall bottle and one more smoke
She lived through the fire but
The piano got broke

Hey man, can you give me something?
Hey man, did you give me something?

Hey man, it's a tenement song
Just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on

Hey man, it's a tenement song
Just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on

On and on and on
