The Alleys of Old Lyon

After midnight I hear their call:
"We have a table here, right inside the Dog.
This round is mine, the Reds and Toffees are on."
Whisper the ghosts in the alleys of Old Lyon
Wandering the cobble streets, voilà des punks à chien:
"Excusez-moi, est-ce que vous avez de la monnaie, s’il vous plaît, s’il vous plaît?"
He begs for change so softly it throws me off
Vagabond ghosts in the alleys of Old Lyon
The virgin watches us from her perch above
We’re off to see Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, traversing St. Jean
In the wake we just may melt the night away
Then cap it all off, the lights and the pomp, at 8 in the Gratinée
Ravenous are the ghosts in the alleys of Old Lyon
Steven’s out front of the Gargouille smoking a clope
Now Henri does sleight of hand sending the Irish home, ah là là là
The sun is rising
the moon subsiding,
the ghosts stifle a yawn
As I turn in
I nod my head: "À la prochaine"
To the ghosts in the alleys of Old Lyon
