Ufo: "Black Cold Coffee" 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
