lirik lagu sam stoane - dead man's alley
[verse 1]
she was sitting one aisle up from me
a half flask away from new orleans
southbound on a one~way train
sipping through forty years of pain
i walked up and asked her for a light
she started telling me stories to pass the time
’bout a girl in a bootstrap world
gunpowder and a string of pearls
[pre~chorus]
she called me hazel ’cause she liked my eyes
then leaned in and whispered, “i’m about to change your life”
[chorus]
“let me teach you how to bury your sin
play your hand at money and men
be another pretty face in the crowd
and they’ll never know it’s you who let the hammer down
i know a place where no one survives
too far down for the sun to find
half a mile south of the pits of h~ll
on dead man’s alley where demons don’t kiss and tell”
[verse 2]
that train came screeching to a halt
in the land of the bayou and voodoo dolls
next thing i knew, she’d slipped away
‘fore i got the chance to ask her name
found a place where the red light’s always on
cash was quick, but the nights got way too long
trouble came like a blood~soaked blade
about the time i heard her say
[chorus]
“let me teach you how to bury your sin
play your hand at money and men
be another pretty face in the crowd
and they’ll never know it’s you who let the hammer down
i know a place where no one survives
too far down for the sun to find
half a mile south of the pits of h~ll
on dead man’s alley where demons don’t kiss and tell”
[post~chorus]
demons don’t kiss and tell, oh
[bridge]
twenty years of running beneath my feet
stumbled into a parlor on beale street
caught a glimpse of a strand of pearls
she was sipping scotch and moving the girls
said, “you finally found me, why’d it take so long?
and i could use a partner if your running’s done
call it earnestine and hazel’s store
but on that second floor
[chorus]
we’ll teach you how to bury your sin
play your hand at money and men
be another pretty face in the crowd
and they’ll never know it’s you who let the hammer down
i know a place where no one survives
too far down for the sun to find
half a mile south of the pits of h~ll
on dead man’s alley where demons don’t kiss and tell”
[outro]
oh, demons don’t kiss and tell
oh, ooh
