Lilly's Daddy's Cadillac

Lilly's Daddy's Cadillac - Mink DeVille

Lilly was standing on the corner

She waited there in front of the store

She waited there for an hour or two

Who knows she maybe waited more

But nobody showed

So Lilly she decided she go

And she rides tonight

In Lilly's Daddy's Cadillac

Lilly's man's name is Dan

He works in the back of a dirty book stand

His best friends know his mind

But nobody knows his plans

And nobody else

Knows what Danny boy got to sell

Lord he rides tonight

In Lilly's Daddy's Cadillac

Oh oh oh oh oh

There was whispering in the dark

Hey hey hey hey hey

Yes you're gonna get hurt someday

Well it's not so hard to understand

It's the same old story

About supply and demand

He tried to go straight

He tried hard to learn

How you gonna do

When people beg to be burnt

Now there was whispering about a meeting

But who they gonna meet this time

I heard someone got greedy Lord

Pulled out a pistol

Said "Lilly and Danny baby

It's the end of your line"

You know the shots rang clear

But no one was able to hear

Lord they died that night

In Lilly's Daddy's Cadillac
