Stan Ridgway - The Last Honest Man lyrics
Your rating:
And then a man began to yell About savin' souls to heaven And for the sinner there was hell Well later on that night In a motel room down the road He kept his meeting for a cat-o-nine beating >From a leather-clad man named Moe CHORUS An honest man We're looking for the last honest man An honest man Keep searching for the last honest man There's a man that moves the masses On a big city radio dial He shouts and screams at all he's seen Runs a talk show like a trial And there's a bartender keeping secrets About a boxer that took a dive And in an office way uptown a deal is going down That could get somebody four to five CHORUS Now we'll keep looking high and low And we'll keep searching 'round Is everybody, everyone, dishonest in this town? Well they'll stab you in the back You get a handshake and a smile But if one don't get ya, the other one will And ya gotta walk that mile CHORUS ---------------------------------------------------
