Waterhole (Expresso Bongo) Lyrics
When the taxis gather in mock Solemnity.
Funeral hearses court the
deathin virginity,
Was it paradise lost or paradise
found?
Did we gain respect or were we holding ground?
You had found true love, or so you believed
And the wideboys
tattooed your hearts upon their sleeves.
So when you think
it's time to go,
When you think it's time to go,
Don't be surprised, the heroes never show.
And the patter
merchants selling false impressions,
Tipping eyes at the waitress
with American expressions,
Tie angels to the bar with sweet
Martini's and their charms
They're lying on every word and
every arm
They're turning down their noses to the best
lines
And the cheap wines.
And the wideboys,
They wear their lovebites for their
crimes.
So when you think it's time to go,
When you think it's time to go,
Don't be surprised, the heroes
never show.
Funeral hearses court the
deathin virginity,
Was it paradise lost or paradise
found?
Did we gain respect or were we holding ground?
You had found true love, or so you believed
And the wideboys
tattooed your hearts upon their sleeves.
So when you think
it's time to go,
When you think it's time to go,
Don't be surprised, the heroes never show.
And the patter
merchants selling false impressions,
Tipping eyes at the waitress
with American expressions,
Tie angels to the bar with sweet
Martini's and their charms
They're lying on every word and
every arm
They're turning down their noses to the best
lines
And the cheap wines.
And the wideboys,
They wear their lovebites for their
crimes.
So when you think it's time to go,
When you think it's time to go,
Don't be surprised, the heroes
never show.
