Though she would say it better by taking off While my friend from Los Angeles is in the back room shifting cocaine and winning on the pool table The grape wine giving me what they want I got no problems with the guys at the curve for the threshold at the end of the bar They are the ones that are tough and turn to me and laugh saying that guy he is beating at pool is from Comtorr Of course I'm drunk and not impressed; I want to know why Diana Washington and Brook Bention arn't on the Jukebox The owner sleek and under twenty five has my sights with a doubble shot of Jack Dan and a long neck Bud

Los Angeles, cocaine, pool winnings, tough men, jukebox standards, and a double shot of Jack Daniel's all create a scene of masculine pose where music becomes the speaker's real demand.
