There's a dusty old [Dm] gutter, he's lying in now,
He's blind and he's old, [G]
and there's a bottle [A] that he rolled [Dm] down the road.
Me, I'm young, and I'm so wild, and I still feel the need.
I [G] ate one [A] things once in a [Bm] while, [A] but that's taxicab to hood,
[Abm] And I can't [G] be food loose [Dm] forever.
[A] My suitcase, it's a cheap one, [E] but darling she's a dear one.
[G] My head's feeling light [C] as a feather.
[G] Pick my ears and tell me [D] when the whistle blows.
[G] Bring me up and tell me [D] when the whistle blows.
Long [A] lost and lonely [Bm] boy, just [G] like she's going [D] home.
I want to [A] feel the wheels [G] of the field,
[D] underneath [A] my itching [G] heel.
[D] Take my money, [G] tell me [A] when the whistle [Bm] blows.
[Dm]
Pardon me, I'm a young man for the time, with a cold vacant stare.
[G] One [A] view concerned, [Dm] he'd say, and I am not so bad, but really do love the night.
And a rod of this sandal, diamond level, [G] in a high [A] park [B] holding hand.
[A] Blowing heat through my face, [E] trying [G] to kill [Dm] off this gold.
[A] Well the street kids remember, [E] can I still shoot the fast cue?
[G] Has this gun trick it still [C] got his soul?
[G] Pick my ears and tell me [D] when the whistle blows.
[G] Bring me up and tell me [D] when the whistle blows.
Long [A] lost and lonely [Bm] boy, just like [G] she's going [D] home.
