Lyrics
Neffertiti came out west in a stolen limousine Twenty dollars to her name and a walk like you ain't never seen She moved into number eight with just a bottle in her hand An old radio wrapped up in it's cord and no particular plan I watched her in the hallway. she blew me a little kiss And said, "hey, baby, what's a boy like you, doin' in a place like this?"
Then she said, "well, I hate to be the one to have to give you the news But this world ain't nothin' but a one way ticket to the blues."
Chorus: Then she said, "baby," she said, "baby.. Baby, can you help me find a soul station on this old radio? And we can steal us a little salvation if you got no place else to go Oh, baby, can you help me find a soul station? I'm feeling kinda low And if you use your...use your 'magination Baby, I dance jus' like brigitte bardot."
I was sweepin' a warehouse floor 'cross town midnight to eight If my ship was ever comin' in, it sure was dockin' late Neffertiti was dancin' six nights at a club jut off the strip After work we'd meet for breakfast, I'd help her count up all her tips She'd stuff some money in my pocket and say, "baby, go back home Now what you tryin' to prove, boy, in this city all alone
Then she said, "well, I hate to be the one to have to give you the news But this world ain't nothin' but a one way ticket to the blues."
Chorus
Spoken: She'd say, "mamma must be worried sick about you." She'd make me send home letters every... 'bout every month or so So I'd be there writing at her kitchen table And neffertitI'd be dancin' to the sweet soul music playin' on her radio
"Mamma wants to rock you, rock you slow To the sweet soul music on the radio."
Chorus
Neffertiti came out west in a stolen limousine
