She said "I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad"
And she's making me feel like I've never been born

He was BORN a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today

Now on the day I was born all the nurses gathered round
They gazed in wide wonder at the joy they had found
The head nurse stepped up, said "You leave this one alone"
She could tell right away I was bad to the bone.

She's a child of the wild blue yonder
Flying out of here
She's a child of the wild blue yonder
BORN in an angel's wing

The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was BORN
I got a boy child's comin'
He's gonna be a son of a gun
He gonna make pretty women's
Jump and shout
Then the world wanna know
What this all about
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him

So it seems that the WORLD keeps on turnin' but so what
I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move
You're a dream and that's all that I ask for
So well now, I'm wonderin' just how I'm gonna tell it to you,
Skin it back

She said "i got me three beers and a fistful of downs
And I'm gonna get ripped, so f*ck, you clowns!"
Then she gave us the finger, it was rigid and stiff
That's when the devil, he farted
And she went right over the cliff!
The devil was mad, I took off to my pad
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?

I was scared and fearing for my life.
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
'Cause he was lean, mean,
Big and bad, Lord,
Pointin' that gun at me.
I said, "Wait a minute, mister,
I didn't even kiss her.
Don't want no trouble with you.
And I know you don't owe me
But I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor from you."
"Won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door

Life is so strange when its changin', yes indeed
Well I've seen the hard times and the pressure's been on me
But I keep on workin' like the workin' man do
And I've got my act together, gonna walk all over you

Gimme back my bullets

In the howling wind
Comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain.
From the firefly
A red orange glow
See the face of fear
Running scared in the valley below.

Bullet the blue sky

You love the thunder and you love the RAIN
You know your hunger like you know your name
And I know you wonder how you ever came
To be a woman in love with a man in search of the flame

Oh oh come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh thunder roadOh thunder road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
I know it's late
We can make it if we run
Oh thunder road
Sit tight
Take hold
THUNDER road

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah

I can pull up by the curb
I can make it on the road
Goin' mobile
I can stop in any street
And talk with people that we meet
Goin' mobile
Keep me movin'

Phone calls long distance
To tell how you've been
Forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins
And when you stop to let 'em know
You've got it down
It's just another town along the ROAD

And no matter what I do,
Even pray to heaven above,
All you'll ever get from her is
LONG DISTANCE love

Yes indeed, here we are!
At Saint Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast
Where I stole the mar-juh-reen
An' widdled on the Bingo Cards in lieu of the latrine
I saw a handsome parish lady
Make her entrance like a queen
Why she was totally chenille
And her old man was a Marine

She used to make me BREAKFAST
Or sit around and talk
Have another cup of coffee
Or maybe take a little walk

I walk forty seven miles of barbed wire
Got a cobra snake for a necktie
Got a brand new house on the roadside
Covered in rattlesnake hide
Got a brand new chimney gonna put on top
And its made out of human skulls
Take a little walk with me baby
And tell who do you love

Turn your heartache right into joy
'Cause she's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together come on make it nice
You ain't gonna need anymore advice

Well there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love honey
Love the one you're with

Well you've heard about love givin' sight to the blind
My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine
She's my sweet little thang she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby I'm her little lover boy

You can run but you cannot hide, this is widely known.
Tell me, what you plan to do with your foolish pride when you're all by yourself, alone.
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel, you can feel it beginning to ease.
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel always getting the grease.
Better to shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel.
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will.
What I'd like to do to you.
Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel.
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

But who are the ones that we call our friends
These governments killing their own?
Or the PEOPLE who finally can't take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire

Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why

Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

PEOPLE speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
Speak in terms of belief and belonging
Try to fit some name to their longing

People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

Rolled out of California
Like a couple of thieves
Now we're rolling in Clover, babe
We didn't read this in no tea leaves
I wanna THANK you girl
And I wanna thank you girl

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to CALIFORNIA...I think you should

This place ain’t doing me any good
I’m in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons, do the jitterbug rag
Ain’t no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he’s got anything to prove

Well, I'll tell you plainly baby, what I plan to do
'Cause I may be crazy baby, but I ain't no fool
Your daddy's rich, mama, you're overdue
But I AIN'T the one, baby
Been messing with you
