|
Like to meet some of these idiots |
|
Who put up the signs |
|
Like to burn the fabric |
|
Outta their inner lines |
|
Sheet lightning going down through the pines |
|
With your shocks out of line |
|
Your out of your mind |
|
Crossing traintracks on switchbacks |
|
Through the lands of the living |
|
Pepe's gotta brand new bars for his liquor store |
|
The Fort Knox of oblivion |
|
When your driving through the city |
|
Thanks god for the sea |
|
Somebody's got to draw a line somewhere |
|
And it might as well be Harry Belafonte |
|
And now aint the time to hit the station |
|
Crowded with the ghosts of the Be Bop Nation |
|
'Tranes of thought and times of tones |
|
Sometimes a little wistful cigarette smoke blowing |
|
The President blew so that Bird could live |
|
And each along the wire could give |
|
The sunglass vision of the golden clef |
|
And the ghetto rod divines which notes are left |
|
Oh brothers I'm talking I'm talking |
|
He's got the solo on a wire |
|
This calls for a flock of angels |
|
To hover over the holy pyre |
|
The President blew so that Bird could live |
|
And each along the wire could give |
|
The sunglass vision of the golden clef |
|
And the ghetto rod divines which notes are left |
|
Golden rain its the piss of Zeus |
|
Mixing with the dead yellow Swing incects juice |
|
Caught in the windshield headlights and sluice |
|
As you battle ahead on Truth |
|
Sheet lightning going down through the pines |
|
With your shocks out of line - Your out of your mind |
|
Whispering in the plywood motel |
|
Some crazy dish didnt turn out to well |
|
Some dreamy argument - some delicious smell |
|
Slow blizzards of petals coming at you in a storm |
|
Thats the way you make me feel - Like warm |
