muriel since you left town the clubs closed down

and there's one more burned out lamppost down on the main street

down where we used to stroll

and muriel i still hit all the same old haunts

and you follow me wherever i go

and muriel i see you on a saturday night

in a penny arcade with your hair tied back

and the diamond twinkle in your eye

is the only wedding ring i'll buy you

muriel



and muriel how many times i've left this town

to hide from your memory

and it haunts me

but i only get as far as the next whiskey bar

i buy another cheap cigar and i'll see you every night

hey muriel muriel

hey buddy got a light
