Bruce *****burn - You Pay Your Money And You Take Your Chance Lyrics
Woman cry -- chase man down street crying "No Chuckie, no, please don't"Another girl comes they run along St. Andrew, turn south on KensingtonMeanwhile Chuckie beats it down the alley by the chicken packer'sBy the time I reach the corner they've all vanishedJust a deaf kid talking like Popeye to a large fleshy laughing man in a blue shirtYou pay your money and you take your chanceWhen you're dealing with love and romanceDown the alley past the fire escape a woman is talking on the telephoneKitchen light spills out, laughter riding on its beamIn the maze of moebius streets we're trying to amuse ourselves to deathUnder the deep sky that's squatting so close over us tonightYou'd think it was trying to hatch usThe numb and confusedThe battered and bruisedThe counters of costAnd the star-crossedYou pay your money and you take your chanceWhen you're dealing with love and romanceConfused and solo in the spawning groundI watch the confusion of friends all numb with loveMoving like stray dogs to the anthem of night-long conversations,of pulsing rhythms and random voltage voicesIn spite of themselves, graceful as these raindrops creeping spermlike across the car windowStay or leave, give or withold, hesitate or leapEach step splashing sparks of red pain in every directionAnd through it all, somehow, this willingness that asks no questionsYou pay your money and you take your chanceWhen you're dealing with love and romance
