Lyrics > Speedball Baby – Asphalt Blues

From the life of bees he grew

In 1957 he shed nine tears
In 1961 he mated with 27 girls

He mated with 27 Puerto Rican girls

All waiting on the state check
It was a decent year
Life coming-down hard
Asphalt blues
I like that
I like that
I don’t like that

Ha ha

[ba ba ba]

Taste your sweat
Realise you’re fucked-up again

[Ohh ohh ohh]

Pavement-faces pass you by
Reading your thoughts
Reading your ugly-thoughts
Life’s coming down again

We found ourselves out by the dunes
Looking for the bring light
I like that
[Ba ba ba]
I like that
[Ba ba ba]
I don’t like that
[Ba ba ba]
It was a decent year
[Ba ba ba]
Asphalt beating you down
[Ba ba ba]
Pavement beating you out
[Ba ba ba]
Foot pounding soul-searching
[Ba ba ba]
Bone-crunching lonesome blues
[Ba ba ba]
Asphalt blues coming down
[Ba ba ba]
Asphalt blues coming down
[Ba ba ba]
Just waiting on the state check
[Ba ba ba]
Just waiting on the state check
[Ba ba ba]
The Asphalt blues
