Verse 2
Hey Jack now for the tricky part
When you where the brightest star
Who were the shadows
Of the San Francisco beat boys
You were their favorite
Now they sit and rattle their bones
And think of their bloodstone days

You chose your words from mouths of
Babes got lost in the woods
The hipflask slining madmen
steamin cafe flirts
In Chinatown, howling at night

Allen baby, why so jaded
Have the boys all grown up
And their music faded
Billy, what a saint they've made you
Just like Mary down in Mexico
On all souls day

Babes lost in the woods
Cool junk booting madmen
Steet minded girls
In Harlem howling at night
