The Handsome Family Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues song lyrics

When you're lost in the rain in Juarez when 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 they really make a mess outta you

Now, if you see Saint Annie, please tell her thanks a lot

I cannot move, my fingers are all in a knot

I don't have the strength to get up and take another shot

And my best friend, my 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 she takes your voice and leaves you howling at the moon

Up on…
