lyrics

It was early in the morning all the bars were shut up tight
Sidewalks were a glistening, not a taxi found in sight
Dog barking at a lamppost but nobody was there
Old man propped up in the alley with a thousand yard stare
One more night to roll the dice and gamble for the win
One more night in paradise of liquor, vice, and sin

The wailing of the trains as they thunder thru the night
Devil kicking up the dust under a dimly lit street light
A broom was slowly being pushed from sidewalk to the street
A distant siren chases ghosts of folks you'll never meet
One lone man was dragging rubber barrels to the bin
Eight grinning cats jumped out as the bottles tumbled in
One more night to roll the dice and gamble for the win
One more night in paradise of liquor, vice, and sin

Wake up in the morning and wonder where you are
There's a stranger next to you and a beat up old guitar
Burnt out candles by the bed some soggy cigarettes
A couple empty bottles several classic rock cassettes
It seems like I've been here about a hundred times before
As I slowly find my clothes and make my way towards the door
One more night to roll the dice and gamble for the win
One more night in paradise of liquor, vice, and sin
One more night in paradise of liquor, vice, and sin

about

The Carnivaleros Tucson, Arizona

My songs contain elements of blues, tango, zydeco, cajun, country, rock, and yes, polka (of course!). I see my songs as mini- movies, novellas put to music. If you are one of Those About To Rock or a firm traditionalist, my music is not for you. “A guaranteed party starter that hails from Tucson but extends its sonic tendrils to New Orleans and Beyond.” – Fred Mills, Blurt Online, 2018 ... more
