Catwalling Alley in Nice Songtext
von Tony Joe White

Midnight, and I pace around the room
Sleep won′t come, daylight comes too soon
Somewhere I hear a woman's laughter
Floating up from the street
And I already feel like the morning after
By this caterwauling alley in Nice
Through bloodshot eyes
Distortion on this topless beach
No place to run, and the rocks they bruise her feet
And a little doll is thrown from the window


And the princess rests in her belle suite
Things fall the way they ought to
In this caterwauling alley in Nice
A long way from home
In this casino by the sea
The cards are drawn, the joker cries "sara lee"
Somewhere there′s a lover bleeding
Sometimes the moon takes more than it needs
Just in time we are leaving
This caterwauling alley in Nice
