Bridge Between the Blues

Her skirt's hiked up and clingin'

Like a bridle to a mare

She's struttin' 'round and bringin'

Every eye around to stare

  I'm a little out of practice, baby,

  I don't know if I dare.

I'm lost, without my senses,

On a bridge between the blues

She's climbin' over fences

And you know she's paid her dues

  Hey there pretty baby

  I'm just waitin' for a clue.

Sometimes you see 'em walkin'

That corridor of shame

You angle up beside 'em sayin'

Baby what's your name?

My every muscle tenses

As I approach her stool

I'm checkin' her defenses

And actin' like a fool

  I know she plays the big leagues

  And I ain't that kinda cool.

You want to ride my wheels

Go rollin' down the road

No time for draggin' heels, baby,

Let me ease your load

  She's locked in opposition

  But I'm workin' on the code.

Sometimes you see 'em walkin'

Away without a name

You angle beside 'em sayin'

Baby, that's a shame

Sometimes you're feelin' lucky

You got the dice to roll

The fire engine's runnin'

And you're slidin' down the pole

  If the keeper gets distracted

  You gotta put one in the goal.
