Steve Poltz - Soup Lyrics

Send "Soup" ringtone to your cell

Johnny bought a ticket for a four o'clock train

Spilled wine on his shirt and knew there'd be a red stain

'cause in third world countries there were only two lanes

Left his lover waiting in the pouring rain

There wasn't any law and there wasn't any order

Couldn't find a pay phone that didn't take quarters

Couldn't find a way to cross the goddamn border

He could slip under the fence if he was just a little shorter

And if you're gonna leave then you better move quickly

If you're gonna stay won't you whisper in my ear

My heart is beating fast and I'm feeling kinda sickly

Gotta find a way to get the hell outa here

He tried to find the embassy to plead his cause

He was lost like dorothy in the "wizard of oz"

He was a dictator target getting lots of applause

Had a big white beard like santa claus

Put some drugs in his pocket it was all blackmail

They took away his passport and threw him in jail

Tried to call his parents but to no avail

Couldn't find anybody to pay his bail

And if you're gonna leave then you better move quickly

If you're gonna stay won't you whisper in my ear

My heart is beating fast and I'm feeling kinda sickly

Gotta find a way to get the hell outa here

There was a warden in the jail that was so sadistic

Ruled the prison with force, he was militaristic

Made soup out of the prisoners he was canabalistic

Johnny knew that if he stayed it would be fatalistic

The warden summoned johnny to his quarters that night

They took him to the kitchen and they bound him real tight

Johnny knew where he was heading and he knew his plight

They thumped him in the head and then they said, "goodnight"

And if you're gonna leave then you better move quickly

If you're gonna stay won't you whisper in my ear

My heart is beating fast and I'm feeling kinda sickly

Gotta find a way to get the hell outa here

Well they took off all his clothes and they shaved his stubble

They threw him in the pot and then he started to bubble

Johnny's girl got word that he was in some trouble

She headed 'cross the border right on the double

She got word from the police he was in the hen coup

She did the bureaucrat and shuffled with the hoola hoop

The warden told her, "johnny got shot by the steam troops"

He said, "i'm sorry, honey, have another bowl of soup"

And if you're gonna leave then you better move quickly

If you're gonna stay won't you whisper in my ear

My heart is beating fast and I'm feeling kinda sickly

Gotta find a way to get the hell outa here

Gotta find a way to get the hell outa here

Never find a way to get the hell outa here
