The Sins Of Memphisto Lyrics - The Missing Years - John Prine

From the bells of st mary 

To the count of monte cristo 

Nothing can stop 

Nothing can stop 

Nothing can stop 

The sins of memphisto 

Sally used to play with her hula hoops 

Now she tells her problems to therapy groups 

Grampa's on the front lawn staring at a rake 

Wondering if his marriage was a terrible mistake 

I'm sitting on the front steps drinking orange crush 

Wondering if it's possible if I could still blush 

Uh huh oh yeah

Watch Cardi B Joins James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

A boy on a bike with courduroy slacks 

Sleeps in the river by the railroad tracks 

He waits for the whistle on the train to scream 

So he can close his eyes and begin to dream 

Uh huh oh yeah 

The hands on his watch spin slowly around 

With his mind on a bus that goes all over town 

Looking at the babies and the factories 

And listening to the music of mister squeeze 

As if by magic or remote control 

He finds a piece of a puzzle 

That he missed in his soul 

Uh huh oh yeah 

Photos 

Adam and eve and lucy and ricky 

Bit the big apple and got a little sticky 

Esmeralda and the hunchback of notre dame 

They humped each other like they had no shame 

They paused as they posed for a polaroid photo 

She whispered in his ear "exactly odo quasi modo"
