lyrics

Nowhere left to turn? You gotta learn how to do Saint Jude's waltz
Dazedly nonplussed? Well, let me just walk you through Saint Jude's waltz
This is the last dance of not-a-chance hopeless causes
Ain't no Santa Clauses, no Wizards of Ozzes round here

Step 2, 3 Slide 2, 3 into the night
Turn 2, 3 Slide 2, 3 back toward the light
Glide through the last glowing embers of hope
Ain't nothing to it, what's best you can do it alone

Time for letting go, now that you know how to do Saint Jude's waltz
No rules or restraint, it's time to paint the town blue, Saint Jude's waltz
Have yourself a drink to all the trinkets that you've lost
The gimcracks, the gewgaws, the zippity-doodahs of love

Step 2, 3 Slide 2, 3 into the night
Turn 2, 3 Slide 2, 3 back toward the light
Glide through the last glowing embers of hope
Ain't nothing to it, what's best you can do it alone

Do it when you're done wishing someone could be there, Saint Jude's waltz
Do it at the bar, when you're too far gone to care, Saint Jude's waltz
Do it when you're through with all the screwy delusions
The kissy conclusions, the sweet-dream-come-truesions, let go

Step 2, 3 Slide 2, 3 into the night
Turn 2, 3 Slide 2, 3 back toward the light
Glide through the last glowing embers of hope
Three simple steps for the dreams we miskept, Saint Jude's waltz
Ain't nothing to it, what's best you can do it alone

Mister Tom Musick Chicago, Illinois

Mister Tom Musick is touched by your concern and consternation, and he appreciates your morbid fascination, but there’s nothing to be done for him now. The bloom is off the rose, the hour late. The bright dreams of his youth have burned away. And he’s the first to admit he’s got no gallant horse to ride; no hopes or ropes to fling you.

Just let him be the one to sing you down off the ledge. ... more
