Lyrics
Turning tricks on sunset
20 bucks a pop
Some out of town ol' businessman or an undercover cop
I'm living with the virus flowing way down in my veins
Oh, oh, I wish it would rain
I know you've heard my story
Or seen me on the street
Just another cracker gigolo
Dressed up like trick or treat
Now you may want to judge me
Or treat me with disdain
Oh, oh, I wish it would rain
Memphis, Texas, Houston, Tennessee
Man, I'm just so turned around
I don't know where I want to be
This California desert is driving me insane
Oh, oh, I wish it would rain
So, I've squandered my resistance
Taking any kind of drug
Oh, I'd smoke or shoot or eat it, I'd drink it from a jug
And I offer no excuses for your sympathies to gain
Oh, oh, I wish it would rain
Everybody knows me as the kid
I've made it seven years and still I don't know how I did
I come from a long line of live and love in vain
Oh, oh, I wish it would rain
So I prayed to Mother Mary
I've even seen a priest
When the angels come to get me
I know I'll be released
I'll leave this mean ol' desert, bound for Memphis on that train
Oh, oh, I wish it would rain
Oh, oh, I wish it would rain
