Re-Entry Blues - The Grifters

Still in the hearse

A terrible thirst

And a love of a fast ride

Its harder to tell

If i’m staring at hell

Or is that the sunrise

Las Vegas at dawn

Is getting it on

Miss you so fine

Staring at the pearls

Maybe the curls

The girl that she looks like

Say your suntan fades away

And check my suitcase back to El Rey

The king is dead and i’m moving on

Yeah exploding

One last chance re-entry abandoned

One last chance re-entry abandoned

Gravity please

Come and pull me under

I think I hear the sound

Rolling thunder

Yeah exploding

One last chance re-entry abandoned

Well check out this place

Ladies have horns

And the paste on their trays

You can shoot up your arm

Truth has become

Martinis and toast

And look at me now

I’m the most

Distilled at the source

A beautiful force, yeah

(One last chance re-entry)

Say vanity, yes

But I’m surrounded by guests

And that’s all I know

To go as far as I can

Chasing after the things that come easily

(One last chance re-entry abandoned)

Oh, Diamond for pearls

The smell of the girls

The mighty fine appetite

Gravity please come and pull me under

Oh well I think I hear the sounds of rolling thunder

The king is dead and i’m moving on

Yeah exploding

One last chance re-entry abandoned
