Lyrics

St. Louis Pipedream
Saw St. Louis in my dreams
Such splendor slumbers may reveal
Just the way that I remember still too dream-like to be real

The river rolled like molten lava
Fish was dancing in the street
Whisky comin’ through the plumbing
The air perfumed with bacon grease

You know, a man’s inclined to wander
I know you’ll never get a job
If only, only in his dreams
But all you ever do is dream
For just one taste of sweet sweet morphine
Ooooo
Sets my restless racing heart at ease

I know St Louis ain’t no dream
I’m tired of that pissant town
I see you take my good green money
All you do is drink it down

You know, a man’s inclined to wander
I know you’ll never get a job
If only, only in his dreams
But all you ever ever do is dream
For just one taste of sweet sweet morphine
Ooooo
Sets my restless racing heart at ease

I guess it’s just a junkie’s pipedream
This paradise I’m thinking of
I’ll take the St Louis I been dreaming
Go on back to St. Louis
You can take your heaven and go shove
