A cigarette burns itself out in a crushed up co'cola can In of a busted up old mirror Delilah is checking out his tired sachet bored or just disappointed with his own reflection He waves it all away
Taking to his good black eyed Susan, he says "Maybe we go out West? Get a tan and fake the rest, this ol' is just a test Just a anyhow" back to his own reflection he says "Oh, Delilah Blue, do we do now?"
The night of the Stardest Motel is banging louder On number seven's door, "If you two don't pay up for all last week You can't stay no more"
And laughs as black eyed Susan says "Silly bitch is a bore" In a while they know she'll walk
It's just a drunken game she likes to Besides, she knows always pay always pay somehow Oh, Delilah Blue, do we do now?
Oh, Delilah Blue, do we do now? What do we do memories fill my eyes And the sweet of youth done flown away
But let anybody ever say old dancer never had her day 'Cause this old dancer always We'd make it through, Delilah
Delilah's in the tub now And it's Black-Eyed Susan's to ramble The President of the States is on TV everybody the country's doin' fine
Well, he must be talkin' 'bout some country 'Cause honey, he sure as hell talkin' 'bout mine Wish I strut up to the White House steps In Shirley drag and sing 'Brother can you a dime?'
Hey, Miss D, I could always pawn Jayne Mansfield thing How much you think that old rag'd bring? My ruby red dress, I used to wear to Back when they'd and they'd wow Oh, Delilah Blue, what do we do
Oh, Blue, what do we do now? What do we do memories fill my eyes And the sweet of youth done flown away
But let anybody ever say This old never had her day 'Cause this old dancer always We'd make it through, Blue
Does the year 2000 scare you 'Cause it's comin' up so This getting older thing to be More about learnin' how to last
Flippin' through my old phone Delilah, all our mad, mad friends we were such a What do I this old dog-eared thing for?
our friends ain't even here no more I'm feeling lonely as a ghost town still standin' up somehow Oh, Blue, what do we do now?
With a turban on his head Delilah appears in the golden aura of bathroom light Tell you a secret, Susan, I learned a long, long time ago It's me on my feet all these years, high heels too I got the marks to show
You can it or you can leave it Oh baby, I don't really know But it seems to me between the we cannot name And all the rage we try to
We're pawns in our own game Try not to let it wrinkle your brow And just he cuts the light He catches his own in the mirror
And at the sight Try not to let it your pretty little brow Oh, Blue, what do we do now?
Oh, Delilah Blue, what do we do do we do now? Magnolia memories fill my And the sweet bird of youth done away
But don't let anybody say This old dancer had her day this old dancer always knew We'd make it through, Blue
Oh, Delilah Blue, what do we do do we do now? Magnolia memories my eyes And the sweet of youth done flown away
But let anybody ever say This old dancer had her day 'Cause this old dancer always We'd it through, Delilah Blue
'Cause old dancer thought She knew, we'd make it Oh, old dancer thought She knew, Delilah Blue, what do we do
