lyrics

Head to pavement, listen for the Buffalo.
Ear to the sidewalk, I can hear the people talkin’.
House crumble down, mortar & brick.
Build toward the sun, rawhide & stick.
Iron snakes cross the states, spiderwebs are in the sky.
The Devil has gone in disguise, but the Hopi know why.
Been fostering this kitten now for three weeks.
Teeth & claws like razor-blades; chainsaw-stage.
My hands cut up like Sid Vicious in a rage.
The cat ran away on a rainy day,
went to go romp in the swamp.
Well, the cat ran away on a rainy day,
went to go romp in the swamp.
The Whisky always comes in waves,
I don’t know if Jesus saves.
Well, the Whisky always comes in waves,
I don’t know if Jesus saves.
