I walked 47 miles on barbed-wire,
Got a cobra-snake for a necktie.
I built a house by the roadside,
Made of rattlesnake hide.
Got a brand new chimney up on top,
Made out of human skulls.
Come on baby take a walk with me,
And tell me who do you love?
Who do you love? X3
Tombstone head and a graveyard mind,
I'm just 22 and I don't mind dying.
Rode around the town with a rattlesnake whip,
Come on baby don't give me no lip.
Who do you love? X3
The night is dark, the sky was blue,
Down the alley the ice wagon flew.
Hit a bump, somebody screamed,
You should'a heard just what I seen.
Who, baby, who do you love?
What do you love, now?
Love, love, love me girl.
Love, love, love me darling
LOVE HIDES
Love hides in the strangest places,
Love hides in the middle of your faces,
love comes when you least except it,
Love hides in the nearer corner,
love comes for those who's seeking
love hides inside the rainbow,
love hides in molecular structures,
love is the answer BUILD ME A WOMAN
Give me a witness, darling,
I need a witness, babe.
I got the blue tang blues,
travel my head down
to the bottom of my cowboy shoes.
Give me a woman, make her ten feet tall.
You got build me a woman, make her ten feet tall.
Don't make her ugly, don't make her small.
You got to build me a woman, make her ten feet tall.
Build me a woman, make her ten feet tall.
Don't make her ugly, don't make her small.
Give me someone I can ball
all night long..
Close to you baby as water is wet
Close to you baby as hair on your head
Close to you babe you better believe what I said
I wanna be close to you baby
Yeah let me be close to you
I want to be close to you darlin till you

I wanna be close to you baby as white is to rice
Close to you baby as cold is to ice
Close to you baby as fire is to smoke
Close to you baby as a pig is to poke
I wanna be close to you baby
Yeah let me be close to you
I want to be close to you darlin till you

Closer and closer baby
Closer and closer baby
Closer and closer baby

Close to you baby as Siamese twins
I wanna be close to you baby
Yeah let me be close to you
I want to be close to you darlin till you
don't know what to say or do
UNIVERSAL MIND
I was doing time in the universal mind,
I was feeling fine
I was turning keys, I was setting people free,
I was doing all right
Then you come along
with a suitcase and song,
turned my head along.
Now I'm so alone
just looking for a home
in every places I see.
I'm the freedom man,I'm the freedom man.
I'm the freedom man, that's how lucky I'm BREAK ON THROU
No 2
Dead cats, dead rats,
did you see what they were at, all right
Dead cat in top of hat
sucking on a young man's blood
wishing he could come,
sucking on a soldier's brain
wishing it would be the same.
Dead cats, dead rats,
did you see what they were at,
Fat cat in top of hat,
thinks he is an aristocrat,
thinks he can kill and slaughter,
thinks he can shoot my daughter.
Dead cats, dead rats,
think you're an aristocrat,
crap, that crap....

THE CELEBRATION OF THE
LIZARD
Lions in the street and roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer ground
He fled the town
He went down South and crossed the border
Left the chaos and disorder
Back there over his shoulder
One morning he awoke in a green hotel
With a strange creature groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shiny skin
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin
Wake up!
You can't remember where it was
Had this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold
Glazed and shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The sheets were hot dead prisons
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom
Look!
I can't live thru each slow century of her moving
I let my cheek slide down
The cool smooth tile
Feel the good cold stinging blood
The smooth hissing snakes of rain . . .
Once I had, a little game
I liked to crawl back into my brain
I think you know the game I mean
I mean the game called 'go insane'
Now you should try this little game
Just close your eyes forget your name
Forget the world forget the people
And we'll erect a different steeple
This little game is fun to do
Just close your eyes no way to lose
And I'm right there I'm going too
Release control we're breaking thru
Way back deep into the brain
Back where there's never any pain
And the rain falls gently on the town
And in the labyrinth of streams
Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of
Nervous hill dwellers in the gentle hills around
Reptiles abounding
Fossils, caves, cool air heights
Each house repeats a mold
Windows rolled
Beast car locked in against morning
All now sleeping
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
Dust blind under the beds of lawful couples
Wound in sheets
And daughters, smug
With semen eyes in their nipples
Wait
There's been a slaughter here
(Don't stop to speak or look around
Your gloves and fan are on the ground
We're getting out of town
We're going on the run
And you're the one I want to come)
Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run
Let's run
House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
C'mon baby run with me
Let's run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run
The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing till you get inside
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
C'mon along, we're not going very far
To the East to meet the Czar
Some outlaws lived by the side of the lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl! We're almost home
Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon!
Soon!
Soon!
Let the carnival bells ring
Let the serpent sing
Let everything
We came down
The rivers and highways
We came down from
Forests and falls
We came down from
Carson and Springfield
We came down from
Phoenix enthralled
And I can tell you
The names of the Kingdom
I can tell you
The things that you know
Listening for a fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade
'I am the Lizard King
I can do anything
I can make the earth stop in its tracks
I made the blue cars go away
For seven years I dwelt
In the loose palace of exile
Playing strange games
With the girls of the island
Now I have come again
To the land of the fair, and the strong, and the wise
Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
O Children of Night
Who among you will run with the hunt?
Now Night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready'
