Milk & Alcohol

(nick lowe/gypie mayo)

White boy in town

Big black, blue sound

Night club, i paid in

I got a stamp on my skin

Main attraction dead on his feet

Black man rhythm with a white boy beat

They got him on milk and alcohol

They got him on milk and alcohol

Stay put i wanna go

Hard work, bad show

More liquor, it don't help

He's gonna die, it breaks my heart

I decided eventually

This ain't doing a thing for me

They got him on milk and alcohol

They got him on milk and alcohol

- guitar solo -

They got him on milk and alcohol

They got him on milk and alcohol

They got him on milk and alcohol

They got him on milk and alcohol

Got up, i walked out

To the car, start it up

Feel bad, sad night

I never saw a red light

Sirens were a screamin' all around

I pulled on over and i shut her down

A black cop gave me a shove with his gun

Said up against the wall and don't make a run

They got me on milk and alcohol

They got me on milk and alcohol
