Black Cold Coffee lyrics

Song information

Artist: Ufo
Album: You Are Here

Lyrics

Captain midnight and captain cruise
Out on the ocean
Like a storm of bad news
It took three monkeys in a plastic mac
To fit inside a paper sack

And they're cooking up an alibi
Cooking up some steam
Out in the madness
Somewhere in orleans
They had a plan
They had a plot
Beggars and blues was all they got

Black cold coffee
Black irish soup
Cold on a silver spoon
She's dancing through hoops

Baby's wishing on a wishing well
She's moving up
And ringing her bell
Can't fly to heaven
On a persian rug
So put some coins in the old sailor mug

They travelled up together
From the coast
East of aldgate
Silently like ghosts
They had a scam
They had a scheme
For drunks and bums counting beans

Black cold coffee
Black irish soup
Cold on a silver spoon
She's dancing through hoops

Solo

Black cold coffee
Black irish soup
Cold on a silver spoon
She's dancing through hoops
