I've lived long enough to see the dead horse
I've lived long enough to cross swamps at night
I've lived long enough to chase a rat
I've lived long enough to take a jet ride
If you see me on an airplane
Just make sure and get out of my way
I lived long enough to know the sun will drop
And you ought to leave it lie
To see the dying of the pines
I've lived long enough to kill my first love
I've lived long enough to break in and do harm
I've lived long enough to fly an airplane
I've lived long enough to break a machine
If you see me on an airplane
Just make sure and get out of my way
I lived long enough to know the sun will drop
And you ought to leave it lie

Our little friend
He didn¹t want to wear
His white buckled shoes
Nor was barefoot
His speed
He didnt like grocery store feet
He was a fussy little kid
When it came to footwear
But on friday he could wear whatever he damn well pleased
The jive ass trickery
That makes this anything
But what it is
Dressed in county orange or city gray
Got rubber sandals
Just to be safe
Metaphorically speaking
We find our little friend
Back in his white buckled shoes again
The monday if you will
Of our friday
Spent in tailored bliss
But if you strip the myth
Away from the man
Its just one to six months

Yer gonna have t'sit there and drink yer cup of muddy water
Yer gonna have t'let the blood dry on yer hands
Ask yer mama t'knit you a blanket from esau's thigh
Cause yer gonna have t'learn t'be lowly and wise
And you can't tell me it sits alright with you
Gangsta lean gansta lean you done killed them all
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them
You got beelzebub in yer little toe you got death on yer dry tung
You got to live alone you got to pray alone
Just like the people bone that you shatter
And you can't tell me it doesn¹t bother you
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them all
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them
Yer life's a melody and yer life's a rhapsody
Possessing the dark skin with romance
It's not a mystery when you know the history
Of east coast and west coast killa's
And you can't tell me it doesn't bother you
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them all

Flooded roads
out of town
Call and telephone lines are down
I call
and the lines are down
Retarded girl oh' she slurs
Tornadoes out on the desert sir
Tornadoes out on the desert
and were I'm going to:
El Paso I'm going to,
El Paso I'm going to
Chicken blood
on my pants
My Hands are shaky and pillow is damp
My Hands are shaky and pillow is damp ooh
Cigarette
on a rumble seat
Drive all day got nothing to eat
I'm Drivin all day got nothing to get me to were I'm going to:
El Paso I'm going to,
El Paso I'm going tooo....
Guitar solo
Look out
Juarez
I gonna dance with the Strawberry girl
I don't dance with Strawberry girls
Green shirt
muddy shoes
Waiting on the bus to get me through
I'm waiting on the bus to get me to were I'm going to:
El Paso I'm going to,
El Paso I'm going to

(Jimmy Smith)
dance around the hi-fi mama there be no derision
your reticence is gonna let me down
ya gotta pull on out of your coma
Moss the jackal with a soldering iron
you know he’s quite the wizard
the fumes inhaled brings on the madness
bounce around his turntable
hey you know it won’t be too long
have to run it’s a pity
hey you know it won’t be too long
it’ll all be for your benefit
hot liver in the ice chest now
bring a good price on the black market
pulmonary pounding on the asphalt
we’ll be shuttin’ down the ventricles
well it was purchased in a lavatory if it made its way to me
sittin’ next to it in the cockpit
hand to hand on the bamboo airstrip
all my bootleggers in our panty hose
bunched around the ankles
just some kinky astigmatism or an exquisite gel
put away your heater mama before you hurt somebody

Dooley was a good ol' man
he lived below the mill
Dooley had two daughters
and a forty-gallon still.
One gal watched the boiler
the other watched the spout
and momma corked the bottles
when ol' Dooley fetched them out.
CHORUS:
Dooley, slipping up the holler
Dooley, trying to make a dollar
Dooley, give me a swaller
I'll pay you back some day.
The revenuers came for him
slipping through the woods
Dooley kept behind them all
he never lost his goods.
Dooley was a trader
when into town he'd come
sugar by the bushel
and molasses by the tub.
CHORUS
I remember very well
the day ol' Dooley died
the women folk looked sorry
the men stood around and cried.
Now Dooley's on the mountain
he lies there all alone
they put a jug beside him
and a barrel for a stone.

(Jimmy Smith)
what’s the matter Alice? ain’t you in love?
do the backstroke in your clawfoot tub
remember all those little creeps down in the hole
no way well alright then what’s got you down?
neurotransmitters all sputtered with gold
wild javelinas rankin’ best in show
you’re gonna hit me but it sounds like to me
she has a little bit of that self help aisle fatigue
i won’t buy from Sanchez i will purloin
sneak up on anyone in my congress boots
nicked from a booth on old Portabello
gonna throw it all in the van with the hot solar panels
hey Alice ain’t you down the road
month worth of bed-head and the shakes in your robe
it’s but a funk and that’s all i gotta say to
oh yeah, this fella Sanchez he’s lookin’ for you

Jack hammers whistle at your gait
Call it what you will
When all the beauties go to lunch
Call it what you will
When the self-bereaved bastards bellyache
Languid from being a gal's best friend
Three tumbles and call it what you will
When the money comes rolling in
When the money comes rolling in
When the money comes rolling in
When the flippin money comes rolling in
Years and years of liplocked hooligans
Call it what you will
The complete works kitch or thievery
Call it what you will
My darlin my dear you deliver me
My how my heart swells enormously
Three tumbles and call it what you please
When the money comes rolling in
When the money comes rolling in
When the money comes rolling in
When the flippin money comes rolling in

Ziggy played guitar, jammin' good with Weird and Gilly,
The spiders from Mars, he played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band
Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'em to hang
Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan
So where were the spiders while the fly tried th break our balls
Just a beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands?
Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we was voodoo
The kids was just crass. He was the nazz
With God given ass
He took it all too far, but boy could he play guitar
Making love with his ego, Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band

Out all night, she wants you longer
How late can you run
It's sad for me to see, oh
Everybody missing the sun
Oh, everybody's missing the sun

Whistle through my wallet
Rent's due - I ain't got it
I like my water heater
Its's a leaker in my stadium blitzer
Livings gotten easy
Everything I ever wanted
From glasgow and the liquor store
I'm completely satiated
No longer a romantic
I ain't slack-jawed
I am responsible
For the stupid things I say
Like the doctor and the poodle
Are procrastinators
There's a lover dancing and laughing

This afternoon I walked out into a ditch
The crawfish stirred the water
The papermill blew in on the southeastern wind
And it was raining in port arthur
I pulled a dead limb from a fallen pine
The sun was dropping on the lower neches valley
I called the dogs from out of the woods with a hollar
And it was raining in port arthur
That night my daddy drove us to maw maw's
He and mama wanted to be alone
I sat up in that mimosa tree with my brother
And it was raining in port arthur
The refinerys hum and glow from the road
And I listen to the dove as she mourns
I'm standing in the rice fields of beaumont

The kiwi and the liquid gold
For helen would have surely knowed
I'd love her if it weren't that i
Bind myself to a single joy
I was sleeping with my lgo
I was polishing my midnight runners
I was handling my regal tip
Cold beer and my prison rolls
Take a good look at the patchwork
That hellen saw on my foot
Well she took a look around, friend
Yeah she took her love to town, friend
I was sleeping with my lgo
I was polishing my midnight runners
I was handling my regal tip
Cold beer and my prison rolls
I got eyes I can't stand it
Jalepeños inbetween my toes
The duke of earl and smoking joe
All the kiwi and the liquid gold
I was sleeping with my lgo
I was polishing my midnight runners
I was handling my regal tip
Cold beer and my prison rolls

I ate the haggis
By and by hallelujah
I ate the haggis, now i
Feel like a cat on the warm hood
Of a car that's just done driving
On a cold winter's day hey hey
Brought to me from scotland
With a fiver I can't spend
Got directions on the can
To serve it up with a wee dram
A wee dram of irish whiskey
On a cold winter's day
Lamb, oats and suet
Boiled in the stomach of a sheep
I ate the haggis
By and by hallelujah
I ate the haggis now my
Father used to tell me
Don't go pissin on the apples
That have fallen from the tree
Cause you'll see that when yer hungry
And yer backs against the wall
A fallen apple ain't so bad
To eat
I ate the haggis by and by

Black wall weeping
When I go to see the king
Put my dyin' diamond on
And the song in the honeybread

Coppermine, oh coppermine
My great-great grandfolk on my father's side
Used to work,in a coppermine - oh yeah
A penny here, a penny there
Won't you drop one in my waterwell
The women lived in maine* my friend
The men they lived underground
Copperwire oh copperwire
Clever clever copperwire
Wrapped in black rubber
Never knew it was a miner's manner
I loved so well
A penny here, a penny there
Won't you drop one in my waterwell
The women lived in maine my friend

Had some mojo I don't know
Bit her hand and charged
Wipe her life source from my chin
And my red guileful grin
That belies all the fire that flies
From my nostrils when I cry
Get the to a nunnery get the to a nunnery
Oh she's a fright in the morning
Scare me
But morning maybe being
The opposite of night it's just that very fright
That'll make me goatlike or weepy
So come on down you tremble
Yer wound pretty tight
Score it with x's and shove it my way
And when you bite me back
To even it up now there's a pair

Folds and folds of hurling whirling words come spilling out yer hole
Dont intellectualize yer eloquent vomit when you rise
Now peter had paul don't have it I have it have it said i
In this rolling glowing growing stolen place that don't belong to me
It ain't funny you say ok I had it up to here with you
This giddy little lifetime yer time my time don't agree with you
Some temper axes in the fire some sharpen knives upon a stone

Bottle night 3 am
Drying out in the den
Good fellowship, we gonna get it together
We gonna build and bitch
Oh fella's I want you t' know
I feel alright 'bout the new way
of grievin' and smokin'
A coward in the grass
Burn me up in July
Lookin' in t'August
With my shirt on fire
Oh well I want you all t'know
I feel alright 'bout the new way
of grievin' and smokin'
All ye bugs and nitrates
Whom gather round the roots
Soak these minerals up
Til yer rusty thru & thru
Oh well I want ye bugs t'know
I feel alright 'bout the new way
of grievin' and smokin'

In honduras cotton smoked and burned for days
To be outdone by guatamala
To be outdone by texas
With a pitchfork and a bell
Grubby little runners bring her news of me second hand
I won't tell her roaches eat my clay sculpture
I wanna tell her I am headless I am headless
She's walking on the great bloody dirt down there
Sleeping in the soft brown ring down there

Words by Frederico Garcia Lorca
On the darkened stage
Parralla maintains
A conversation with death
And the people are
Inhaling her sobs
And in the green mirror
Her long silk train
Sways back and forth
Lamps of crystal and green mirrors
She calls death but death never comes
Lamps of crystal and green mirrors
She calls death but death never comes
And she calls out again

Whippoorwill won't ya listen
To my roaming story
We started out frying
Up a morning glory
I tell you 'bout the things ya like t¹know I found
& how the moon woke us up with a jigglin' sound
In my fine leather truck
So I rolled up my dirty red pants
Took my shoes off
Crossed my legs when I danced
I did the hyena, the milkman and the fox-trot
We smoked our last then headed for the pine knot
In my fine leather truck
Then the rain came down
& soaked us all up
Could not keep the technology
From suckin' us up
Spiderman was all I could remember then
We crossed the walls
& left that ugly town

oh trampled by the sun
oh sexless for days
oh and I sweat gardenias
oh sexless for days
I may be under valour's feet
I'm not scared to be a coward
unless I'm drunk and missing for days
got guts of crystal
that never saw the sun
oh I'll consider superstition
and the reason for Apollo
sexless for days

If you want to make some pickles
Take your time make some brine
Put all those little things you love
In vinegar and wine
It ain't Chinese algebra
It's easily done
Why you can pickle anything
Pickling is fun
A lot of people I know use dill weed
But, why don't you be more adventurous
I'll give you exactly what you need
Gonna fix your ass up real nice
Give you pickling advice
Let your intuition be your guide
Results are all that matter
Are you happy with your yeild?
Oh, come on you can tell me
I'm an expert in the field
Please don't be discouraged if your first batch is a bus
Give your ego time to heal

Living down here they throw me down and count me
I'm making this up, it keeps my feathers clean
And the black boys they kick my ass and tell me
That the women their ruby lips are dry.
I get angry and I get sad
And I lose this sweetness that I used to have
And I boil my strings
To get them back to gold
Sleeping in here they give me plenty to eat
Don't make trouble, make something with the concrete
So I fill my pipes with it to break them black boys heads

I like drinking to forget your name
And I smoke reefer a'do much the same
Between me and you - there's ain't nothing I wouldn't do
To untangle these ties with you
How much sweet life source have you took
I keep thinking I'd rather not look
Our love's like a fern thats been dried up and burned
It's absurd - but I keep coming back.
Oh believe me bruther
I bleeve I'd ruther
Dig a hole and crawl in the ground
Between you and I i think I'd ruther die
So I'll just stay drunk all the time
I've been over and over this girl
But you like the rattle snakes curl
You coil to strike me again
In my wide world of sin
Lights out I think it's the end

Hurry up now, turn the water into coffee,
is it there? are you here?
did you just wake up?
did you just fuck up?
Indulge my tug. and yer outside, upon the ground
I'll speak to you
Just write it down
Just write it down
Jenny Brown Sweet Beak
Do you need to steal?
Heres a pistol if you do.
We all have got problems
all night and day
shoot the wall leave the bird alone
or feed that bird the worm's song
I'll sing to you
Just write it down
Jenny Brown Sweet Beak

Flyin moth took what it could
Yer half naked
Moth did good
A rabbit jumps it
A sheep makes it
Horse hockey
Piggly wiggly
Go cat go
And I want you to
Crawl out of my bean bowl baby
Little bit after midnight
Dumb as rocks lie like a rug
Temp agency
Get you a job
Left tackle
Right guard
A lot of money
You don't have to work to hard
I want you to crawl out of my bean bowl baby
A little bit after midnight
Nurse ratchett got sompin to say
I want my cigarettes
Juicy fruit
Hey capin' mouf joe
He got sompin to say
Stay away

All the labor landed in the sod
Where the digger cried it's my calling, sir
And it is no mistake that I put you in the ground so well
And if they pay me well thats great
It's just gravy I'd do it anyway
All the labor stood up and shouted I'll wait for you fun lovin' minever cheevy
With all yer drunken dellusions I am a sensational place
Of comeraderie and pleasure won't you stand with me in your garden once more
All the labor although it be brick on brick
Stitch on stitch and earn to urn
A presence on the lift what this great ole nation was built on boy

Waiting for the lozenge to clear yer throat
So you can stand up and say all the words you wrote
All along the fences, all along the lines
Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin'
Honeysuckle's dyin' and the birds all cry 2X
Rain around the houses, rain around the limbs
Everything yer hating is everything you been
So pass around the roses, shiny up the bell
How dry I once was there ain't no tongue can tell
Ain't no tongue can tell and the rain it fell 2X
Twist another ashbone, make it phat and loose
Apply the isopropyl and play that ol' gray goose
All along the fences, all along the lines
Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin'

I come up
From underground
Went back down
Forgot my bike lock
Went back up
Drank my dirty water
On the ground I felt like iron
Sister bed rest been a long time
Will you tell me which bed is mine
Gonna comb my hair
Gonna clip my nails

I could tell you that I was a christian
And I don't guess that would be a lie
I could tell you that I was church of christ
And I don't guess you could prove me wrong
So don't trouble no policeman
He's got a wife and kids of his own
And don't trouble yer neighbor
Cause they just want to be left alone
I suppose if I was a demon
I might have bugs all over my legs
It might make sense for me t'tangle
With my wife for awhile
So don't trouble no policeman
He's got a wife and kids of his own
And don't trouble yer neighbor
Cause they just want to be left alone

I've got callous feet
you fear the wine
believe me in the morning
I've done worse things at night
the colorful language
feels like my oriental whore
I've been having her for years
and the words were like bullshit
when wine was cheap
and it ran like ink
til I found she was an angel
so I sent her away
If I can match her disrespect
she'll come back someday
I done read about these ladies
they are so hard to find
