《Invitation to the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Invitation To The Blues - Holly Cole

[00:00:25] Well she's up against the register with an apron and a spatula

[00:00:33] Yesterday's deliveries the tickets for the bachelors

[00:00:39] She's a moving violation from her conk down to her shoes

[00:00:50] She says How you gonna like 'em over medium or scrambled

[00:00:58] Anyways the only way be careful not to gamble

[00:01:03] On a guy with a suitcase and a ticket getting out of here

[00:01:10] A tired bus station old pair of shoes

[00:01:15] This nothing but an invitation to the blues

[00:01:24] You can't take your eyes off her get another cup of java

[00:01:31] It's just the way she pours it for you joking with the customers

[00:01:38] Mercy mercy Mr Percy there's nothing back in Jersey

[00:01:46] But a broken-down jalopy and a dream I was chasing

[00:01:53] A battle with the booze an open invitation to the blues

[00:02:10] She used to have a sugar daddy and a candy-apple Caddy

[00:02:18] And a bank account and everything accustomed to the finer things

[00:02:24] He probably left her for a socialite and never loved her 'cept at night

[00:02:30] And then he's drunk and he never even told her that he cared

[00:02:36] So they took the registration her car-keys and her shoes

[00:02:42] And left her with an invitation to the blues

[00:02:57] There's a Continental Trailways leaving local bus tonight good evening

[00:03:04] You can have my seat I'm sticking round here for a while

[00:03:09] Get me a room at the Squire where the filling station's hiring

[00:03:15] I can eat here every night what the hell have I got to lose

[00:03:23] Got a crazy sensation go or stay I've gotta choose

[00:03:33] I accept your invitation to the blues
