On the rocky road from me to you
About halfway between lust and found
Sits the faded heart cafe where the band always plays the blues
They play every day and they say
Ooh lady don’t you come in here
With your face so long and the desert in your hair
You’ve got to know, you’ve got to show that your heart really cares …
On the rocky road from me to you
About halfway between lust and found
Sits the faded heart cafe where the band always plays the blues
They play every day and they say
Ooh lady don’t you come in here
With your face so long and the desert in your hair
You have to know, you have to show that your heart really cares
And your love may find you while you’re waiting here
Now the drummer has no rhythm if she plays alone
But when the band lights up she’s their metronome
Because the beat of the cafe is the beat of every heart as one
The feel is so real you could steal it
Ooh lady don’t you come in here …
The trumpeter’s a strumpet and she knows it too well
She’ll blow anybody to the gates of hell
And back – yeah, even this band can’t resist that call
It’s near and it’s clear and you hear it
Ooh lady don’t you come in here …
The piano has been thinking, and it thought it was you
But minor key emotions make the piano-player blue
So when the band turns on she will sing her very heart away
So strong that you long to belong to the song
Ooh lady don’t you come in here …
