The Reno Songtext
von Dave Formula

Sings at the Reno club
Hits from off Broadway
Cook, Bean, Fitzgerald
If you, if you got your lung before night
Cheap little clip joint canary
Good from the back of the room
Look just a little bit closer
And see her make-ups run
Eyes glow, all out of focus
In the chorus of summertime, oh
Live in every moment
So she can eat three times a day


Reno Reeper
Alone with her thoughts in the cloakroom
Reno Reeper
Picking at the seam of her dress
Reno Reeper
Trapped where nobody can reach her
Reno Reeper
Staring back from the bottom of a glass

Captain′s Eastern baby
Face pressed up to the glass
He's up commercial time, he′d seen her
Sparkle in her ruby dress
Through the city streets
See its tiny lights
Feel the stink of breath
They can't get her here
She's safe behind her deadbolt
′Til the sun begins to shine
Nylons for a necktie
And the lights go down for one last time, oh


Reno Reeper
All alone with her thoughts in the cloakroom
Reno Reeper
Picking at the seam of her dress
Reno Reeper
Trapped where nobody can reach her
Reno Reeper
Staring back from the bottom of a glass

Reno Reeper
Alone with her thoughts in the cloakroom
Reno Reeper
Picking at the seam of her dress
Reno Reeper
Trapped in a place where nobody can see her
Reno
Staring back from the bottom of a glass

Where no one can reach her
