Stone Hotel
Hello neighbor, Are you hungry? Are you screamin' out for love?
'Cause somethin' tells me that you're likely to stick me up
Don't be mistaken: I'm a pirate, I'm a thief from way back
And all this time I was just tryin' to get my money stacked
And Judge said "Young lady
You never felt the blues, no not yet"
And I keep tryin' to remember what his face looked like
But I was starin' at my shoes, starin' at my shoes
I need you, you need me
This world is so deceivin'
There ain't shakin' down a pawn shop girl
My credit is borrowed
I'll pay you back tomorrow
If I get over this big white wall
Time holds still at the Stone Hotel
Three free meals on the county bill
Takes my calls at the Stone Hotel
My people's achin' for now
But I got someone waitin' on me
It made it faster to say it's time to make my plead and laugh
District Attorney threw the book and pulled the learnin' out
Oh Magistrate, just take my statement as the truth that we all want
This here defendant came in wavin' a banana gun
And some con said "Now honey
You better take a bone" oh, that's right
That DA called for restitution
For a hustler on bond walkin' alone
I need you, you need me
This world is so deceivin'
There ain't shakin' down a pawn shop girl
My credit is borrowed
I'll pay you back tomorrow
If I get over this big white wall
Time holds still at the Stone Hotel
Three free meals on the county bill
Takes my calls at the Stone Hotel
My people's achin' for now
But I got someone waitin' on me
Time holds still at the Stone Hotel
Three free meals on the county bill
Takes my calls at the Stone Hotel
My people's achin' for now
But I got someone waitin' on me
'Cause somethin' tells me that you're likely to stick me up
Don't be mistaken: I'm a pirate, I'm a thief from way back
And all this time I was just tryin' to get my money stacked
And Judge said "Young lady
You never felt the blues, no not yet"
And I keep tryin' to remember what his face looked like
But I was starin' at my shoes, starin' at my shoes
I need you, you need me
This world is so deceivin'
There ain't shakin' down a pawn shop girl
My credit is borrowed
I'll pay you back tomorrow
If I get over this big white wall
Time holds still at the Stone Hotel
Three free meals on the county bill
Takes my calls at the Stone Hotel
My people's achin' for now

Time holds still at the Stone Hotel
Three free meals on the county bill
Takes my calls at the Stone Hotel
My people's achin' for now
But I got someone waitin' on me
