White is slummin' and
Billy
Blues is a -hummin'
And they're ready for the
nightly show
Everybody's runnin' cause the
sons of drums are comin'
And there's trouble
on the street below
A little trouble on the
street be low
Despair will kick your gate in
Black and white are hatin'
While the money -maker's
havin' fun
Oh,
Christ, your color's fadin'
Yeah,
Buddha, where are you waitin'?
Now turn your halos on and come
Turn your halos on and run
Leather
Tinker,

A
Humpty
Dumpty sailor man is
in a trance on
Sedgwick
Street
Sweet
Saint
Peter, pussy willow eater,
can you teach me how to pray?
Stone wife beater, yeah it shows up on your meter,
but take the devil's time to play.
Cause it's the devil's time to
play
The handsome
Harry couldn't stay
So he cut out with
Sister
Sadie
Well, tell me who can save the lady
Her reputation's gotten kind of shady
They say she smokes and drinks with men
It's all right,
cause I sneak a smoke myself
every now and then
And whoo -whoo -whoo -whoo -whoo
-whoo
Leather
Tinker,
Tailor
Man,
Anyone
You
Meet
Here come a flunky and what
a failure man
He's in a trance on
Sedgwick
Street
Now in the name of peace,
are you gonna pull that bomb release?
Than just because they told you to
Well, fears and doubts increase
I heard your angel lost his lease
And they say sorrow got a hold on you
And tomorrow got a hold on you
And
Leather
Tinker
Tailor
Man, or anyone you meet
A
Funky
Junkie and a
Jailer
