Lyrics
I was lost in Baltimore
November second, nineteen eighty four
Played a hunch, lost some cash
Car broke down, someone stole my stash
Had a gig out in Hollywood
But not until the coming New Years Eve
To the only job I could
Sometimes you just smile and let it bleed
I met her through some friends
They called her divine
Said she was some senators daughter
She talked all night, talked all night
Ragging bout the end
Said she heard it at the water
Baltimore lasted thirty days
I got out, headed West Texas way
Had a friend lived thereabouts
Had a place said I could always hang out
We spent that first day just catching up
Told him all about my Baltimore blues
He just said, Hey man, cool out
And maybe we should watch the evening news
We spent the afternoon drinking strawberry wine
Maybe drank more than we aught of
CNN talked all night
Ragging bout the end
Said they heard it at the water
I made it out to Hollywood
Played my gig, everything went good
Felt so fine forgot about
Baltimore and all that had come out
Still its like something I read
The sheep look up, but all the sheep are dead
And every day it worsens more
And that was back in 1984
So maybe Brunners book wasnt up with the times
And really wasnt worth the bother
But still we talk, and still we talk
Of what we drink and where
We put out filters for the water
