Muriel

Muriel
since you left town the clubs closed down
and
there's one more burned out lamppost down on the main street
down
where we used to stroll
and
muriel i still hit all the same old haunts
and
you follow me wherever i go
and
muriel i see you on a saturday night
in a
penny arcade with your hair tied back
and
the diamond twinkle in your eye
is the
only wedding ring i'll buy you
muriel
and muriel
how many times i've left this town
to hide
from your memory
and
it haunts me
but
i only get as far as the next whiskey bar
i buy
another cheap cigar and i'll see you every night
hey
muriel muriel
hey
buddy got a light
