The Big Heat

Stan Ridgway The Big Heat專輯

12.Nadine

As i got on a city bus and found a vacant seat
I thought i saw my future bride walking up the street
I shouted to the driver, 'hey, conductor, you must
Slow down, i think i see her, please, let me off the bus'

Nadine
Oh, honey, is that you
Woah, nadine
Oh, honey, is that you
Seems every time i see you, baby, you've got somethin' else to
do

Woah, i saw from the corner when she turned and doubled back
And started walkin' toward a coffee-colored cadillac
Pushin' through the crowd, tryin' to get to where she's at
I was campaign-shouting like a southern diplomat

Chorus repeat

You're off with someone, someone new!

Downtown, searchin' for her, lookin' all around
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown
I caught a loaded taxi, picked up everybody's tab
Tipped a twenty dollar bill, i said 'you catch that yellow cab'

Chorus repeat last line repeat x4

Keep it clean
Nadine
Eat a bean, nadine
