1.
Find her, find her, find her/lazing round like moses/on a nothing day/in a nothing way/with a 5 card trick and no one to play/hustling up the river/til the river reached the town/street rats showed her how to jive/and they all forgot their plans/making shows for gentlemen/too honest to be true/the bishop cursed your name to them/til the scandal turned him blue/she looks like a million dollars/but she feels like a thousand bucks/so she bought a wall of mirrors/and smashed her reflection up/now she wants to sell the hammers/for a ride on any bus/she says that when she gets there/she'll wish that she was with us/and I see your jailor's lost his keys again/you're on the point of sin/cigarette burns and vodka stains/don't lose your grace Madeleine/it seems like only yesterday/I was listening in/someone says to someone else/don't lose your grace Madeleine/no, I haven't seen your face of late/and I was wondering where it's been/one says to another one/don't lose your grace, Madeleine
2.
Here's comes the bride/ all dressed in black/lip rouge that calls me small town, drinker trash/saying all the old things that she used to say/it's just the hair has changed/ain't it like the ones you throw away/to make you feel like you're coming down/on a rainy day/There go the swans/down the old canal/their wings are full of mud/still they carry it well/she and I, we never were that way/get your coat it's getting late/ain't it like the ones you throw away/to make you feel like you're coming down/on a rainy day
