Nipper? s Corner
Bumping down the county road, some sneaky in the beat
Agnes sighs and checks her thighs she? s moving? movin? through the
Heat, it takes a heavy toll that the people love to pay
So get your roll of dimes and your sippin? wine
? Cause forgettin? time? s the order of the day
Yellow bus drops Gospel Jones, he lost that eye in? 43
With a soggy smile, he? ll preach a while about losin?
Losin? nothing but a state of mind like a roll of dice,
You gotta let? em fall where they may
But the gospel? s gold is in the glass he holds
And ain? t nobody gonna take it away
Token stories, trading glory for the flame
Stumbling softly, fire gently soothes the soul
Detroit hank looking for some love raises a glass to Lemon Klein
Looking bold, she? s off parole and gleaming
Scheming from behind a different bar and a darker star
Where everyone takes a seat
? Cos when yer fightin time & yer soaked with wine
You forget that you can leave
Gospel? s watching Agnes dancing near the flame
Stumbling softly, fire gently soothes the soul
Heated prancing she keeps dancing with pain
Gospel? ssinging? Nipper? s Corner? s gonna blow
Bumpin? down the county road, some sneaky in the beat
Agnes sighs and drops her eyes
She? s movin?
