lyrics

Welcome to the Black Keys, where we dance like crabs and monkeys
there’s a pot there for your car keys coz we know what you’re like.
And we’re there every night at seven, but it was a little passed eleven
as this lady walked inside out of the night.

Well come on over you can share my little booth
I wouldn’t trust the water how about a dry Vermouth?

My baby’s got a secret, let’s just see how long she keeps it
In The Black Keys on a Friday night.

Well she looked like Audrey Hepburn, ‘cept she still liked to keep her hair long
and it came down to the start of her short silk skirt
that was made by Pierre Cardin, I’ll admit it I got a hard on
and I undid the top two buttons of my shirt.

Stay a while if you like a little dance
maybe a little conversation, maybe be a little romance.

My baby’s got a secret, let’s just see how long she keeps it
In The Black Keys on a Friday night.

Upstairs there’s a hotel, where the porter swears he won’t tell,
all the scenes he sees through the keyhole he says ‘I don’t know what you mean?’.
He sees the blood pooling in the ashtray, the semen on the light-shade
as it burns and then it turns in to steam.

It’s getting late, I think you missed the last train
I’ll buy you the next drink you tell me your middle name again.

My baby’s got a secret, let’s just see how long she keeps it
In The Black Keys on a Friday night.

The rest of the night was a haze of tequila and rum.
What can you do when you’re done?

I woke up in suite 35b, she wasn’t there beside me
and the bed was as empty as a squeezed lime
and she didn’t even leave a note, but in the pocket of my coat
was 76 dollars for my time.

I knew the score but what the hell was I supposed to think?
I went down to The Black Keys bought the bartender a drink.

My baby’s got a secret, let’s just see how long she keeps it
In The Black Keys on a Friday night.

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album.
