Letra de Mona And The Preacher
Song called "Mona, and the Preacher"Street boys waiting for the late late show Eyes are shifty and their pants are low A telephone rings in a room upstairs The veteran sinks to the road below Mona leans against a lamppost at the corner of the street The afternoon papers all around her feet Hooks her thumb beneath the straps of her bag Her cigarette glows as she takes another drag The city mission stands in the late night rain Big drops streak the dirty windowpane The old lay preacher steps out from a one way lane (he does)Now the lady says "coffee" and the man says "yeah" Mona leans against the counter as she wipes her dress Her legs hold promise and her eyes are wide Preacher slides in from the night outside Laminex tables all around the wall Mona wanders through the cafe to the window stall The preacher asks softly for the time of day Then heads towards the mission with his take-away His eyes reach Mona as he jerks the door Outside rain becomes an inside roar Mona rests her toes on the late night cafe floor (you know she does) (This is a story about)Mona and the preacher, Mona and the preacher Mona and the preacher, Mona and the preacher Mona and the preacher (Mona) Mona and the preacher (Mona and the preacher) Mona and the preacher (Mona...) Mona and the preacher (Mona) Mona and the preacher, Mona and the preacher Mona and the preacher, Mona and the preacher Mona, Mona, Mona and the preacher Mona, Mona, Mona and the preacherSome go dancing in the twilight zone Men seek Mona when they're all alone The women seek the preacher, their hearts to console She heals the body, but he heals the soul Well he heals the soul He heals the soulI said Mona I said Mona You know it's Mona and the preacher again, oh yeah yeah
