The motel lights were blinkin`
On my chartreuse four door Lincoln
On the dock the fish were stinkin`
I simply didn`t have a care
And the old men sit round the cracker barrels
The children hum their Christmas carols
The train tracks all run parallel
But they`ll all meet up one day
On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
He`s waiting for the next poor fool
Who forgot that it was Sunday
We used to tell each other lies
With our orange plastic button eyes
In a former life on a motel chair
I was Charlie Parker`s teddy bear
Yeah, me and Bird we`d stay up late
I used to watch him contemplate
While his horn would sit by the window and
Wait till it was time for him to blow it
On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
He`s waiting for the next poor fool
Who forgot that it was Sunday
The only song I ever knew
Was Moonlight Bay on the Avenue
These are the tales from the Devil`s chin
Charlie I could`ve been a contender
And the old men sit round the cracker barrels
The children hum their Christmas carols
The train tracks all run parallel
But they`ll all meet up one day
