[Verse]

             
All the late n

              
ight bargains 

             
have been stru

Between the sa

          
tin beaus and 

           
their belles

  And prehisto

ucks
         
Have the city 

to themselves
             
  Echoes roars

They're all do

[Chorus]

             
  I don't know

           
 how it happen


ed
             
It all took pl

           
ace so quick
             
But all I can 

             
do is hand it

[Verse]

             
  My door was 

            
standing open
         
Security was l

             
aid back and l

  
ax
           
But it was onl

              
y my heart got

  
 it broken
              
You must have 

      
had a pass key

 made out of w

ax
           
You played rob

bery with inso

lence
              
And I played t

           
he blues in tw

             
elve bars down

         
 on Lover's La

  
ne
        
And you never 

did have the i

nteligence to 

use
           
The twelve key


s hanging off 

my chain

[Chorus]

             
  I don't know

[Verse]

             
Now it's past 

              
last call for 

    
alcohol
             
Past recall ha

          
s been here an

     
d gone
    
The landlord f

inally paid us

 all
          
The satin jazz

men have put a

way their horn

s
             
And we're stan

              
ding outside o

              
f this wonderl

   
and
          
Looking so ber

            
eaved and so b

     
ereft
       
Like a Bowery 

bum when he fi

nally understa

It was faster 

              
than the eye c

      
ould flick
             
But all I can 

             
do is hand it
