Tom: Em
Em B7 Am C
Well the cold has a hard time finding me
Em B7 Am C
Unlike some folks I know
Em B7 Am C
Yeah all the men down in union square
Em B7 Am
Are worried about the snow
Am
When your pockets fill
C
With dollar bills
Am C
Your heart forgets to eat
Em B7
Its a wicked thing
Em
It owns this street
[Chorus]
Em Am C Am C
Yeah fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak
Em Am C Am C
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
Em
Well if she was six teeth younger and if i had half a mind
B7 Em
I’d carry her away from that wicked thing outside
[Verse 2]
Em B7 Am C
Well i saw a carried bundle
Em B7 Am C
that has fingers eyes and toes
Em B7 Am C
As a father of deception
Em B7 Am
i have never raised a soul
Am C Am C
It’s a purchase captured second hand and cherished more than gold
Em B7 Em
It’s a shelter from that wicked thing that wanders in the night
[Chorus]
Em Am C Am C
Yeah fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak
Em Am C Am C
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
Em
Well if she was six teeth younger and if i had half a mind
B7 Em
I’d carry her away from that wicked thing outside
Am C Am C
The water on the dirty streets has all but turned to ice
Em B7 E
To pave the road for wicked things that wander in the night
