'Til the Money Runs Out Lyrics
Check this strange beverage that fall out from the sky,
Splashin' Bagdad on the Hudson in Panther Martin's eyes.
He's high and outside wearin' candy apple red,
Scarlet gave him twenty seven stitches in his head,
With a pint of green Chartreuse ain't nothin' seems right,
You buy the Sunday paper on a Saturday night.
Can't you hear the thunder, someone stole my watch,
I sold a quart of blood and bought a half a pint of scotch,
Someone tell those Chinamen on Telegraph Cable Road,
When you're on the bill with a spoon there ain't no time to unload-
So bye bye baby, baby bye bye.
Droopy stranger lonely dreamer toy puppy and the prado,
Were laughin' as they piled into Olmos' El Dorado,
Jesus whispered eni meany miney moe,
they're too proud to duck their heads that's why they bring it down so low,
So bye bye baby, baby bye bye.
....pointed man is smack dab in the middle of July,
Swingin' from the rafters in his brand new tie,
He said I can't go back to that hotel room, all they do is shout,
But I'll stay wichew baby till the money runs out,
So bye bye baby, baby bye bye.

Again, my apologies for being a pushy newcomer. I have saturated myself in some of these songs for years, though that doesn't mean I really have heard them right.
The "strange beverage" is rain which is strange to someone who mostly drinks booze. Panther Martin is a wasted street person who is high on drugs and out with the rain falling in his eyes. Someone, probably the cops, cracked his head for him splitting his scalp, requiring 27 stitches. The candy apple red could be weird clothes, or he could be blood soaked. Nothing makes sense when you're this f*cked up.
Several people having a good time getting into a Pimpmobile. At least one of them is going to die (selected by Jesus), probably ending up lying in the street (bring it down so low.)
"Pointed man" might refer to a zoot suit with sharp lapels, not sure on this, but the heat is on (smack dab in the middle of July). This implies drugs and money owed. He's in the process of committing suicide by hanging himself (swingin from the rafters in his brand new tie). He can't face the people he owes, he told his woman he'd stay with her till the money runs out, which it obviously has, "so bye bye baby, baby bye bye" ending in a strangled scream.
