[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1 – The Male Persona voice is lead vocal] We arl sittin’ round dee old ashtray, Laughin’ less dam we did yesterday. One cone packed, one more to share, Six of us dreamin’ like there’s smoke in da air. But da bowl’s lookin’ light, joohst a couple of ghosts, Someone says “pass it,” but it’s arl-ready toast. [Chorus] You-wouldn’t-think-by-now-things-would-be-this-way. I’ve-got-2-cone-blues and-only-spare-change, 2 cone blues—2 cone blues, everyday. [Verse 2 – male Persona Voice is Lead Vocal] Woke up broke, checkin’ pockets for gold, Found just enough to keep the story told. Rolled down the servo with a cough and a grin, Bought a cheap pack and a faded win. Back on the couch with a flick and a sigh, Two cones deep, just me, myself, and why? [Chorus] You-wouldn’t-think-by-now-things-would-be-this-way. I’ve-got-2-cone-blues and-only-spare-change, 2 cone blues—2 cone blues, everyday. [Verse 3 – The Female Persona voice is Lead Vocal] She said “you got green?” I said “not today,” But I’ve got a lighter and things to say. She smiled thin, said “you know the rule,” “Bring your share or bring a jewel.” I dropped my last two, felt the silence grow— No buzz, no blaze, just the drag of the low. [Chorus] You-wouldn’t-think-by-now-things-would-be-this-way. I’ve-got-2-cone-blues and-only-spare-change, 2 cone blues—2 cone blues yeah [Chorus – Final] You-wouldn’t-think-by-now-things-would-be-this-way. I’ve-got-2-cone-blues and-only-spare-change, 2 cone blues—2 cone blues, everyday. [End Song] [End Audio]
