lyrics

The downtown preacher said he’d save us and offered us lifelines
Said he’d take us straight to heaven on a late night 49
But someone found a schedule that had fallen on the floor
And found out that the 49 don’t come around here no more

And that very evening Crystal Billy ran rough-shod over Ted
Said he was disappointed about something he had said
And all our friends just stood around looking on in dismay
Despite what Billy did, there was nothing left to say

By the time the cops came ‘round checking out the news
Everyone had disappeared leaving just the smell of booze
So, they just closed the cruiser doors and drove on up the street
Left Ted on his own to get back on his feet

Then Marnie said she’d get him to the Hotel Jones by nine
That is if her brother’s train did not arrive on time
And we all said we’d be there but it wasn’t really true
‘Cause every one of us had some better things to do

And no matter where we look now, the 49’s not there
That preacher must have lied to us
But we don’t really care
it’s just another call, the one that never comes
And when it doesn’t happen
It’s no surprise to anyone
