about

Produced by Jack Saunders
Recorded at White Cat Studio Houston, Tx

lyrics

blew the slide trombone in a six piece band
in the gutter where the winners got blood on their hands
working, working 'till the whole shake swings
like a blind man jumping on a trampoline

the small print is what the kid can't read
and its hard, it's hard with your ass in the breeze
working, working scuffling up your knees
like a blind man jumping on a trampoline

a ten dollar suit, a thirty dollar gig
leaves Jackson to tighten your wig
susie good pussy's gonna loosen the noose
her head full of stitches and a Harley tattoo

the sign on the door reads colors can be worn
rich folks slumming get all they bargained for
when safe across the tracks, I'll be sleeping in my car
if you whistle the tune, put your cabbiage in the jar

thirty-one nights in the month of may
forty-nine jobs this bands gonna play
working, working, pray your lips don't bleed
ike a blind man jumping on a trampoline
