Vic Chesnutt - Vernon lyrics
[Vic Chesnutt - Vernon lyrics]
Well, Vernon blows a borrowed saxophone
In the coffee house all alone
Staring out toward the industry
Thinking' about his autobiography
Yes, he's a man dedicated, ever so
Dedicated to Drum cigarettes
And Cafe Bustello
Yes he is a dishwasher by trade
But with loftier career goals
At night he does the lovely
Nudes in the charcoal
And he left New Orleans just a
Couple of Mardi Gras ago
Well, Vernon heads out for the disco
Full of excitement and oily espresso
On Monday he dances his hardest
Wearing' a tweed cap and
Looking like an artist
Yes, he's a man dedicated, ever so
Dedicated to his cigarettes and Cafe Bustello
Yes, he is a dishwasher by trade
But with loftier career goals
At night he does the lovely
Nudes in the charcoal
And he left New Orleans just a
Couple of Mardi Gras ago
Yes, he left New Orleans just a
Couple of Mardi Gras ago
In the coffee house all alone
Staring out toward the industry
Thinking' about his autobiography
Yes, he's a man dedicated, ever so
Dedicated to Drum cigarettes
And Cafe Bustello
Yes he is a dishwasher by trade
But with loftier career goals
At night he does the lovely
Nudes in the charcoal
And he left New Orleans just a
Couple of Mardi Gras ago
Well, Vernon heads out for the disco
Full of excitement and oily espresso
On Monday he dances his hardest
Wearing' a tweed cap and
Looking like an artist
Yes, he's a man dedicated, ever so
Dedicated to his cigarettes and Cafe Bustello
Yes, he is a dishwasher by trade
But with loftier career goals
At night he does the lovely
Nudes in the charcoal
And he left New Orleans just a
Couple of Mardi Gras ago
Yes, he left New Orleans just a
Couple of Mardi Gras ago
