Verse 1:

[G][E] I was running through the summer rain

Trying to catch the evening train

And kill that old familiar pain

Weaving through my tangled brain

But wh[D]en i tipped my bottle back

I smacked into a cop i didn't s[G]ee

Verse 2:

[E] That policeman said mister cool

If you ain't drunk then you're a fool

I said if that's against the law

Tell me why i never saw

A m[D]an locked in that jail of yours

Who wasn't just as low down poor as m[G]e

Chorus1:

W[G]ell that was when someone turned out the l[Am]ights[C]

And [D]i wound up in jail to spend the n[G]ight

And dream of all the wine and lonely g[C/G]irls[Am]

In th[D]is best of all possible w[G]orlds

Verse 3:

[E] Well i woke up next morning

Feeling like my head was gone

And like my thick old tongue was lickin'

Something sick and wrong

And i t[D]old that man i'd sell my soul

For something wet and cold as that old c[G]ell

Verse 4:

[E] That kindly jailer grinned at me

All eaten up with sympathy

Then poured himself another beer

And came and whispered in my ear

If b[D]ooze was just a dime a bottle boy

You couldn't

MAXIMILLIAN:
Pigeons can fly!

MAXIMILLIAN:
Objection!
What about snakes?

PANGLOSS:
Snakes!
'Twas snake that tempted mother Eve
Because of snake we now believe
That though depraved
We can be saved
From hellfire and damnation
(Because of snake's temptation!)

If snake had not seduced our lot
And primed us for salvation
Jehova could not pardon all
The sins that we call cardinal
Involving bed and bottle!

ALL
Now onto Aristotle!

PANGLOSS
Mankind is one
All men are brothers!

Paragraph Lyric


I was runnin' thru the summer rain, try'n' to catch that evenin' train
And kill the old familiar pain weavin' thru my tangled brain
When I tipped my bottle back and smacked into a cop I didn't see
That police man said, "Mister Cool, if you ain't drunk, then you're a fool."
I said, "If that's against the law, then tell me why I never saw
A man locked in that jail of yours who wasn't neither black or poor as me?"

And dream of all the wine and lonely girls
In this best of all possible worlds.

Well, I woke up next mornin' feelin' like my head was gone
And like my thick old tongue was lickin' something sick and wrong

That kindly jailer grinned at me, all eaten up with sympathy
Then poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear,
"If booze was just a dime a bottle boy, you couldn't even buy the smell"
I said, "I knew there was something I liked about this town."
But it takes more than that to bring me down, down, down.
'Cause there's still a lo
