John Mellencamp - Orpheus Descending

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1527688
Verse 1
Well you can't go here
And you can't go there
And the police say
You can't go anywhere
Can't make it up to heaven
Got no place to land
Guns that want war
And clubs in the hand

Chorus
Do you think we'll see the light before the blood hits the street
I don't care what they say
If there's a will, there's got to be a way
If there's a will, there's always a fuckin' way

Verse 2
There's a broke down shack
Out on Alabaster Street
Take a streetcar named Desire
If he can take the hеat
There's a yellow-hairеd shake
That can get us in for free
With gaslight stories
And a body like you wouldn't believe

Chorus
Do you think we'll see the light before the blood hits the street
I don't care what they say
If there's a will, there's got to be a way
If there's a will, there's always a fuckin' way

Verse 3
We got a weasel in the pot
Filthy romance all around
Orpheus descending on the hellish side of town
Let's try to get ourselves a front row seat
Orpheus and what's her name
This is gonna be sweet

Chorus
Darkness has found us with the blood up to our knees
I don't care what they say
If there's a will, there's got to be a way
If there's a will, there's always a fuckin' way
