lyrics

Friday night
Nowhere to go
It's been a month
And I'm still on my own
Shiverin' away
These cold Oakland nights

Pick up the rag
They're in the know
Maybe tonight
Won't feel so alone
Heading uptown
To take in the sights

Telegraph take me in
The stork and a bottle of gin
Legionnaire's got my face on the wall

Telegraph take me in
This town's full of five-dollar friends
Friday it's got room for us all

Back of the bar
Hat pulled low
Glass is empty
My teeth start to show
Feeling warm
On these cold Oakland nights

Ears are ringing
Lights start to glow
Collar is hot
It’s high time I go
Ducking out
To take in the sights

Telegraph take me in
The stork and a bottle of gin
Legionnaire's got my face on the wall

Telegraph take me in
This town's full of five-dollar friends
Friday it's got room for us all

Wind blows cold
Clearing my head
Night's still young
But I'm heading for bed
Wheezing away
These cold Oakland nights

Feet are tired
A few blocks to go
Hard to believe
But it feels like home
Walkin’ uptown
To take in the sights

Telegraph take me in
The stork and a bottle of gin
Legionnaire's got my face on the wall

Telegraph take me in
This town's full of five-dollar friends
Friday it's got room for us all
