[Verse]

Ain't got no money ain't got no spark

My pockets are empty my world is dark

Can't buy a cigarette can't buy a drink

The walls around me they start to sink

[Verse 2]

Woman's got nothing no love to share

She packs her bags like she don't care

The sewer's rising my floor's all wet

Life's a gamble but I lost the bet

[Chorus]

Oh I sing these sewer blues tonight

Crawling through shadows and choking on light

Ain't got no diamonds ain't got no gold

Just this aching story that never gets told

[Verse 3]

Roof's been leaking the wood's worn thin

The rain keeps falling it seeps right in

The street rats scurry they got more pride

Than this broken man with nothing to hide

[Bridge]

Oh the whiskey calls but I can't reply

The bottle's as empty as the tear in my eye

The stars laugh above at my sorry state

But I'll just keep singing it's never too late

[Chorus]

Oh I sing these sewer blues tonight

Crawling through shadows and choking on light

Ain't got no diamonds ain't got no gold

Just this aching story that never gets told
