You look just like I expected you would. Absolute knock-out, knock-down. I'm dead. I'm crawling at the feet of you. I'm on the floor. And I like bein' here.
Been eating too much. Oh baby, something's wrong. Been nervous enough. Been thinking out loud. Baby why is there a crowd. Stick it over again. Oh why are we here.
Bitter tears in shades of blue. I go to the Everglades for you. Ride a horse into the rain. Looking for a pony trail. Oh got up on some kind of rail. Some kind of rail.
I ran around the corner, I stepped into a cellar. Now I've tears in my eyes, I've got the ale house blues. I've heard the jailhouse lose. Little Randy just died.
A stick would do the trick. A dog would jump all over you. A mine cave in on you. Jump out the window. Hit the floor. Tap tap tapping at your door. In the moonlight behind the sun.
For today I'll smoke a cigar. For today I'll play your guitar. For today I'll be real nice. For today I'll cut you thrice. For today I'll cup your eyes.
Carnival queen. All the ghosts lay by your side. Moaning, groaning songs of woe. Carnival queen. Your hair is on fire. Your arrows pierce my bones. Angel, madonna.
Caper, a caper. God is one big caper. Life is one big caper. Life is one big caper. Life one big caper. Life one big caper. Caper. You fool with it and it fools with you.
Now this one from the morning came to me. The piper in his high cloud sang to me. Listen, oh my brother, it's time to rise. Thunder in the heavens of the sky.
You come around at (morning?). They call you the sun. Gonna ???. ??? and get you baby. You come at night. They call you darkness. You come in the morning.
When we go. I'm falling down to the river. I'm gonna climb another mountain. I'm going down to the mountain. I'm coming up from below. I'm gonna climb as high as I can.
[the first line is missing on the CD reissue]. Caledonia, mahoganies, elbows. Bring on Fatima. How long does the rain fall?. How long?.
You questioned her legs, spread on the table. Vultures that prey in her bosom, cursed her questions. Said she was dead anyway. A virgin mild scream. She wasn't dead, just wasted.
Well it doesn't matter 'cause. This is going all the way out. If you think there's a future anywhere. All the way out. Whoops, I spilled the beans. All the way out.
Breathtaker, he took his toll. Microphone and rock 'n roll. Beat me up and take my time. Run up and down my scrambled spine. Early mornin', he comes up.
With your breast in a moonbeam. Foot on a stair. You weep on my shoulder. I feel full shackled. I think you're lonely (?). I been here cause I think there's been a change.
Branded on a telephone. Germans came, I wasn't home. Nickel for your fortune true. Dime when you reach forty-two. Vertebrae all scrambled 'round. Lately I have found a sound.
Let me tell you about my blues. My blues have turned black. Black, black, black, black. And my rotting stinking flesh. Black, black, black, black. I couldn't stay high.
It's gone past you, baby. You're not even on my mind. It's these blues I got to deal with. So heavy all the time. Maybe I had them before you. I can't really say.
I was lightin' on fire one night. Smokin' cigarettes. I was lightin' on fire one night. Smokin' cigarettes.
