The Cockroach Blues

lyrics

The Cockroach Blues

The cockroaches have taken over my kitchen
I hear them party when I dim the light
But hundred dollar bills won’t keep you warm after midnight
You’ve got to have that someone to hold you tight

We get so high, we get so high, when there is love
when there is love, sweet love

My vehicle’s blown a gasket, and the rent’s due,
The rats have gnawed a hole in my I Ching,
I’d walk a thousand miles through broken bottles
Cause you and I, we got a special thing

We get so high, we get so high, when there is love
when there is love, sweet love

Chorus:

What can I say? What can I say? You blow me away…
You blow me away again
I must confess, I was a mess, you came around
And put me back together again
a little taste of heaven
melt those blues away

You think this world is bad, then read the papers
But somehow you and I seem to get by
And one thing gets me through a thousand troubles, yes it does
I can see it in your eye

Chorus
