Redbone – Speakeasy Lyrics

Blues

Night gave way and darkness fell
On the rivers of the man in white
Love benign, from place to place
To the rhythm of the train in hell

Holding out their hands, though hate denied them
Piercing all the way to where I feel

Speakeasy, unfriendly
Here in no where (ah)
So far away from home (ah)
Speakeasy, where are you?
Oh, I wish I knew, I wish I knew

Four young men, three red and brown
In the belly of a great white bird
Something lonely through the skin
In the kingdom of her majesty

Singing through my soul, I sought to touch them
Even though they took me for a fool

Speakeasy, unfriendly
Here in no where (ah)
So far away from home (ah)
Speakeasy, where are you?
Oh, I wish I knew, I wish I knew

Murmurings in foreign tongue
When they thought I couldn't understand
Smiling through their fear for real
For the faces of the living sob

Lacking was the honesty of reason
Seeing what it was just made me cry

Speakeasy, unfriendly
Here in no where (ah)
So far away from home (ah)
Speakeasy, where are you?
Oh, I wish I knew, I wish I knew

Speakeasy, unfriendly
Here in no where (ah)
So far away from home (ah)
Speakeasy, where are you?
Oh, I wish I knew, I wish I knew

Speakeasy, unfriendly
Here in no where (ah)
So far away from home (ah)
Speakeasy
