I woke up this morning from a crazy dream: |
|
The Earth was a turning ball of fire. |
|
Satan and the Pilgrims had wiped the scene, |
|
And I became their twisted gun for hire. |
|
Don't let 'em getcha, boy, now use your head, |
|
the lights they're coming 'round again. |
|
"Run like a demon, boy," is what they said, |
|
and then began to count from one to ten. |
|
So now I'm tryin' to get out of the city. |
|
You know where right can be found: |
|
The beaten side of town... |
|
Won't never let you down. |
|
I woke up this morning from a crazy dream: |
|
The Earth was a burning ball of fire. |
|
I crawled right inside the spaces in-between, |
|
A miracle of science to admire |
|
But everybody knows the way the story goes: |
|
She'll love you once and leave you once again. |
|
The wind sends a shiver from your head to toes, |
|
Whispers that you've reached your living end |
|
So now I'm tryin' to get out of the city. |
|
You know where right can be found: |
|
The beaten side of town... |
|
Don't never let me down. |
|
I woke up this morning from a crazier dream: |
|
The Earth was a churning ball of fire. |
|
The Dragunovs were sniping |
|
as I swam upstream, |
|
And then I saw a temple with a spire |
|
There was a sign saying "Welcome all you deists, agnostics, and Buddhists, Muslims and Christians, Caucasians, junkies and wrecker-heads, blue-lights and deadbeats, homos and heteros and Negroes and down-lows, |
|
Speed-freaks and tweakers, pimps without sneakers, the handy the pure and the atheist Nehru, and the peoples from countries in far-away places, stupid ideas that the public embraces." |
|
We all were invited with mostly resignation |
|
But that was only a dream... |
|
The beaten side of town, |
|
And now I'm goin' down. |
