Out on the fringe
Where the shallows meet the scratchlands
Out where hope and the highway ends
You can park or cruise
Both ways you lose
ch /ch ch /ch
This is fly town now my friend
You take a walk on bleak street
s
Tonight could be the night you crash
Then you turn and stop
Start to finger pop
su
You think you hear a wailin' combo
You climb a flight of twisted stairs
Some cat says buddy
s
If you've got eyes
To rhythma tize
su s4
Bring your flat hat and your ax
'cause to night at ten
We'll be workin' a gain
ch /ch
At the teahouse on the tracks
The siegel bros. were slammin' out a baion
So slick it should have been a crime
I rene and flocko and little Amy Khan
ch /ch ch /ch
Lead off the big front line
The crowd was bouncin' in sync with the pulse
su
You get a case of party feet
(then the room turns bright
And fills up with light)
Then from somewhere deep in side you
Some frozen stuff begins to crack
Better hurry
s4
Take the t- line to bleak and di vine
Just a bove the good time flats
su
It's your last chance
To learn how to dance
ch /ch
At the teahouse on the tracks

On sunday morning
You're back at the wheel
You're feelng calm and crisp and strong

If it feels right
Just drive for the light
That's the groove sential facts

Someday we'll all meet at the end of the street

Bring your flat hat and your ax
'cause to night at ten
We'll be workin' a gain

Take the T line to Bleak and Divine

Just above the Good Times Flats
It's your last chance
To learn how to dance

That's the groove sential facts
