In the easy chair with my boots on. Melted whiskey in my hand. I couldn't have been asleep for more than three hours. Time to go to work again. . Once more I beat the sunrise.
C. Brown wakes from bed. Brushes his teeth and he combs his head for school. Out the door and down the street. Down to the corner and a bus and some friends that he's supposed to meet.
I've been working all day. I've been shaking it loose. It's been raining for hours. I've been spilling my juice. Nothing means nothing. I couldn't care less.
Listen to the song de los grillos. Breathe deeply as many sounds become one sound. Suelta el aliento. Descansa quieto esperando. . All souls come into the Casa del Grillo.
Here we go, to the other side of the tracks. Maybe your best friend, don't think they're taking it back. No no no don't let 'em get in your head. Yeah you make a living try to hit one over the fence.
Well take me to my car now. But the car won't go. Try to get next to you baby. Ain't got no place to go. . Taste better than a t-bone steak. Excitement on the side.
We sat on the couch a playin'. Touch the tongue and bump the table. But I was scorned after little ado. Tossed right out into the blue. . I set into a downward spiral.
Oh, Pappy left a chair like he's still sittin' there. Once I almost saw him make his move. Brave Indian who never changes his mood. In a painting on the wall right there.
Hope you don't mind me barging the door. In the middle of the night. Hope you don't mind me barging the door like this. In the middle of the night. Falling in and out of bars on my own.
Like a Big Woolly Mammoth. You gotta wear that coat. Like his big brother Joseph. Yeah, walkin' in the desert sand. Like a dough boy in the trenches. You gotta lay down low.
Funnin' round Grandpa's farm. Really groovin' on the baby pigs. Oh, I know they haven't even read the books I know. Yeah, I understand the telephone. But I really love to watch you talk your talk.
Like a Big Woolly Mammoth. You gotta wear that coat. Like his big brother Joseph. Yeah, walkin' in the desert sand. Like a doughboy in the trenches. You gotta lay down low.
Bear gone fishin', mermaids missin'. Got to get to the bottom of this. Kissin' the wound from the captain's harpoon. Unexpected moment of bliss. Loss is closer, tip of exposure.
Help me mama, for I have grinned. Save me daddy from where I'm goin'. Call out to me from the ages beyond. Help me remember how to be good. . How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't.
The barstools built for dreamers. We'll fit fine and find. All the worlds dreams have died. But tonight they're only taking thirsty people. Who've been pullin' on their drinks.
Over sixteen, under thirty-one. Over sixteen, under thirty-one. Over sixteen, under thirty-one. Over sixteen, under thirty-one. . Arleen was a dream, what a dream.
Over sixteen, under thirty-one. Over sixteen, under thirty-one. Over sixteen, under thirty-one. Over sixteen, under thirty-one. . Arleen was a dream, what a dream.
Black heart sun rides the sky. Now your eyes are running dry. Oh, like the space around me. I take my spot in time. . Who knows who is both your best friend and brother.
