Black Market Baby

She lives in a house

That's way back off the road

There's a man with a lantern

And he carries her soul

A coal stove and a bed

A skillet and a hound

She drove a camel through a needle

In this sinking boardwalk townShe's my black-market baby (she's my baby)

She's my black-market baby (she's my baby)

She's a diamond who wants to stay coal

Wants to stay coalI swang out wide with her

On hell's iron gate

Anything that you wanted

You could have

My eyes say their prayers to her

Sailors ring her bell

The way a moth mistakes a light bulb

For the moon and goes to hellShe's my black-market baby (she's my baby)

She's my black-market baby (she's my baby)

She's a diamond who wants to stay coal

Wants to stay coalThere's no prayer like desire

There's amnesia in her kiss

She's a swan and a pistol

And she will follow you like this

In Moberly, Missouri

At the Iroquois Hotel

She checked in with the President

And she ran up quite a BillShe's my black-market baby (she's my baby)

She's my black-market baby (she's my baby)

She's a diamond who wants to stay coal

Wants to stay coalWell, she's whiskey in a teacup

She gives blondes a lousy name

She's a Bonzai Aphrodite

And a ticket back to Spain

She's a hard way to go

And there ain't no way to stop

Everytime you play the red the black is coming upShe's my black-market baby (she's my baby)

She's my black-market baby (she's my baby)

She's a diamond who wants to stay coal (she's my baby)

She wants to stay coal (she's my baby)

My baby wants to stay coal, coal, coal

My baby wants to stay coal
