Mr Smith Lyrics by Stan Ridgway

Mr Smith Lyrics

    Can i get a light from you, mr. smith?
    And do you know where the party is?
    I've been walking a blue streak all night long
    And i'm tired of looking for a place to piss

    Can you tell me about yourself, mr. smith?
    Yeah, me, you can read like an open book
    I don't hide myself like some other people do
    When there's gristle in the meat, i just swallow and chew


    Chorus:
    Pleased to meet you, mr. smith,
    (and) do you know where the party is?
    Pleased to meet you, mr. smith,
    (and) do you know where the party is?



    Cast your eyes around, mr. smith
    Do you see that dog lying in the road?
    Coughin' up stuff from a pigeon that died
    Hit an eighteen wheeler on the 405


    Chorus repeat


    Do you know this neighborhood, mr. smith?
    Used to be someplace, sometime, somewhere
    People built it up from the dirt and dust,
    Loanin' out money from an eastern trust


    Chorus repeat x2
