Artist/Band: Nina Simone
Lyrics for Song: Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Lyrics for Album: Les Jazz Rtl [2009]



When you're lost in the rain in Juarez



And it's Easter time too



And your gravity fails



And negativity don't pull you through



Don't put on any airs



When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue



They got some hungry women there



And man, they'll really make a mess out of you



Now if you see Saint Annie



Please tell her "Thanks a lot"



I cannot move



And my fingers are all in a knot



And I haven't got the strength



To get up and take another shot



And my best friend, the doctor



Won't even say what it is I've got



Sweet Melinda



The peasants call her the goddess of gloom



She speaks good English



And she invites you up into her room



And you're so kind and careful



Not to go to her too soon



And then she takes your voice



And leaves you howling at the moon



Up on Project Hill



It's either fortune or fame



You can take one or the other



Though neither of them are to be what they claim



And if you're lookin' to get silly



You'd better go back to from where you came



Because the cops don't need you



And man, they expect the same



All the authorities



They just stand around and boast



How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms



Into leaving his post



And picking up my brother Carl



Who just arrived here from the coast



Who looked so fine at first



But left looking just like a ghost



Well that's it folks that's it, that's it



Well, I started out on burgundy



But soon hit the harder stuff



Everybody said they'd stand behind me



When the game got rough



Ah, but the joke was on me



There was no one there even to bluff



I'm going back to New York City



I do believe I've had enough
