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
