The Hooker Tom Paxton

Where do you go at night?
Where do you go at night?
Wrapped in your cheap cologne
Where do you go at night?

Down to the pit with the stinking air
And the smell of the sweat and the death is there
I dance for a dollar and I dance for a dime
Till their eyes are begging and their pockets are mine
I pick a body and I name my fee;
I take their money and they take me
That's where I go at night
That's where I go at night

Don't point your fingers
Say your prayers at me!
The truth is hard but I'm gonna tell it
Ah, there's a whole lot of ways to sell it!

How do you spend your days?
How do you spend your days?
When you can sleep no more
How do you spend your days?

I rise at four in the afternoon
I take a match and the kitchen spoon
I wrap my arm in an old necktie
And I find religion on the very first try
I wash my face and comb my hair
My looks are going but I just don't care
That's how I spend my days
That's how I spend my days
