Lyrics for Nice Guys (Dont Get Paid) by Soul Asylum:
| | | Artist: | Soul Asylum |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Nice Guys (Dont Get Paid) | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 55 | | | | Lyrics: | Well they packed up their violin cases ??
Hopped in a big black Studebaker, they were acting
pretty scary
No one talked as they synchronized their watches
And they drove past a train
station
The train rolled out with a passenger car
Filled with retired millionaires and
movie stars
?? coats
?? and that would be all she wrote
And the gangsters, cowboys,
gypsies, and freewheelers
Sold out their trades to become drug dealers
There ain't no money
in doing things straight
Your community thanks you, business is good, and nice guys don't get
paid
Outside the train window fast as he could ride
Was a kid on a horse with a head
full of lies
And the tears of excitement couldn't put out the fire in his eyes
For the house
he was riding to burglarize
All through the house they were dancing and singing
An
extended family with fiddlers and magicians
A juggler and a chemist who'd invent potion
to
pacify all the killers and rapist
The chemist died in the burglary and they sold the
prescription
For a case of cheap red wine to a traveling salesman
In a three-wheeled jalopy;
he bought and sold potions
To the city that looked over the ocean
And he sold the last
drop, it was big with the rich kids
And soon the city would be crawling with addicts
And
back rooms, dark allies, basements and attics
(When?) a fly is trapped in a spider's web (but a
bat's got the spider?)
And no one knows what's going on
But you've gotta show up for
yourself at the end of the day
And nice guys don't get paid
Nice guys don't get
paid
Now all the hopeless romantics are wearing white collars
(Upstanding assassins?)
cleaning filthy dollars
