10000 MANIACS - HEY JACK KEROUAC Lyrics

Hey Jack KerouacI think of you motherAnd all the tears she criedShe would cry for none otherThan her little boy lost in a little world that hatedAnd that dared to drag him downHer little boy courageousHe chose his words from mouths ofBabes got lost in the worldThe hip-flash slinging madmenSteaming café flirtsThey all spoke through youHey Jack, now for the tricky partWhen you were the brightest starWho were the shadows?Of the San Francisco beat boysYou were the favouriteNow they sit and rattle their bonesAnd think of their blood stoned daysYou chose your words from mouths ofBabes got lost in the worldThe hip-flask slinging madmenSteaming café flirtsIn Chinatown, howling at nightAllen baby, why so jaded?Have the boys all grown upand their beauty faded?Billy, what a saint they made youYou're just like Mary down in MexicoOn All Souls' DayYou chose your words from mouths ofBabes lost in the worldThe cool junk booting madmenStreet minded girlsIn Harlem, howling at nightWhat a tear stained shock of the worldYou've gone away without sayingGoodbye
