Calico Kid (2024 Remaster) Lyrics

The Calico Kid said, "Please, won't you stay?

I'm not like the others, I won't run away

And if you like we can stay here all night

We'll talk about beauty and talk about life

'Cause it's oh, so good to talk with you," said the Calico Kid

The Calico Kid

When the night watchman walked into the bar

He said, "The winter is coming, but it won't get this far."

He ordered a drink and stared off into space

And the Lincoln Park Princess stared on in distaste and said,

"I don't know what I'm doing here with the Calico Kid..."

The Calico Kid

And where have you hidden your trinkets away?

And how have you spent your nights and your days?

Drifting away... drifting away with the Calico Kid

The cinnamon sun rose slow in the east

And the bar-room Beowulfs stumbled home from their feast

The Kid and the Princess walked out hand in hand

And they kissed in the street of their own promised land

"It's so good to be alive," said the Calico Kid

The Calico Kid

And where have you hidden your trinkets away?

And how have you spent your nights and your days?

Drifting away... drifting away like some Calico Kid

The Calico Kid
