Five Fingers Of Funk

Post flow flow my dome is still steaming



Passing cheap hotels toward home to get dreaming



The city sky is starless on foot because I'm carless



But the thirty block walk from the spot is not the farthest



That I've gone I move on kept company by neon



Lights 3 a.m. tonight the air is like freon



Fifty in my pocket not much but I can't knock it



Getting paid to light the mic up like a bulb in a socket



Flip the switch tonight I saw it in their eyes



The Fingers kept it live the energy never died



It wouldn't be denied 214 Burnside



We kept their heads moving even kids outside



You can see them on the street through the stage door gate



Ten o'clock even when it gets late



Pass the mic at the end of the night to Dave Queen



Then come back on Tuesday check out Sid the Tennesseans Tony



Green and Stella yeah I remember Tuesdays



No bad things now bring me back to hear the new play



I'll stay late with D.J. Sass until the next day



Fuck Key Largo take me back to the X-Ray



Take me back to the X-Ray



My fingers are frozen my coat is soaked through



My toes are past numb we've got a hundred more to do



They're only getting wetter got to get another up



Luke loads the stapler then he slaps the hammer shut



Tack tack tack down the right then the left side



If you see Five-O then you'd better step hide



Wait until they pass and come around the block again



Time to go back to work before this late night ends



Over on my left he's holding up another poster



Pushing up the corner as the staple falls close to



His index finger as his breath lingers in the air



Water trickles up his arm he doesn't seem to care



He doesn't wear gloves they make it hard to grab the paper



On a late night caper with a state of the art stapl
