St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
A light rain stopped fallin', on a sleepy southern town
A broken night commenced to flashing,
above the place where it all went down
Dope, women, and gamblin', a fine selection of real cheap booze
They open for business at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
Old black man with a golden tooth, stood watching by the door
He like some sleepy-eyed gator, sunnin' his nose on the shore
Young man with a brand new stick, talking loud he nobody's fool
Gonna' loose his money at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
Women of the street, tight dresses above their knees
Then got $50 fur pieces, acting classy as you please
Some one gonna' win real big, get drunk, and act like a fool
That's why they working St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
That's just how it was at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
Running on the street, sure's a hard way to go
There's always somebody wiser than what you think you know
Do unto others, before they do it unto you
That's the golden plated rule at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
That's just how it was at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
A broken night commenced to flashing,
above the place where it all went down
Dope, women, and gamblin', a fine selection of real cheap booze
They open for business at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
Old black man with a golden tooth, stood watching by the door
He like some sleepy-eyed gator, sunnin' his nose on the shore
Young man with a brand new stick, talking loud he nobody's fool
Gonna' loose his money at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
Women of the street, tight dresses above their knees
Then got $50 fur pieces, acting classy as you please
Some one gonna' win real big, get drunk, and act like a fool
That's why they working St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
That's just how it was at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
Running on the street, sure's a hard way to go
There's always somebody wiser than what you think you know
Do unto others, before they do it unto you
That's the golden plated rule at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
That's just how it was at St. Elmo's Rooms and Pool
