The Gumbo Man Lyrics - Partyball - Stan Ridgway

Water is crashin' on the rocks down below 

A side window rolls down on an El Dorado 

Hear the hush of the voices...there's a flash from inside 

And no one bothers to conceal what they cannot hide 

CHORUS 

So if you see the gumbo man 

Tell him now he's gotta change his plan 

Stir it left and stir it right 

Eat it up until it's gone from sight 

Frome top of the lighthouse a beacon shown down 

Draw a map to remember what nobody found out 

I woke up in the mornin'...stared in the glass 

I took a walk down the street, then saw you comin' past 

CHORUS 

There's a worry on the burner 

A cold wind rushin' in 

And nobody got out, but somebody did get in 

There's a creak on the stairway outside the door 

Blue metal voices are beggin' for more 

CHORUS
