I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie, I got a brand new house by the road side, Made out of rattlesnake hide. I got me a chimney made on top, Made from a human skull, Now come on, take a little walk with me, Now who do you love? Come on Arlene, take me by the hand, Let me know you understand, Who do you love? ... Ride nine times on the midnight train Through the fire and cold rain, Who do you love? ... I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine, Just twenty-two and I don't mind dying, Who do you love? ...

You all loved him once And not without cause He fed you through the winter He led you through the fog You hid behind his body to be sheltered from the mob You all loved him once And not without cause You all loved him once When his glory was unmatched Your signal when to celebrate was the bugle of his laugh Oh, when it came time to stand with him You scattered with the rats You all loved him once That time has passed You all loved him once When the future was opaque His reassuring visions were the pillars of your faith Through a thousand false horizons He would always fly it straight You all loved him once That turned to hate You all loved him once An uncommon love at that What you saw as a pedestal Was his elevated path So to satisfy the Philistines You stabbed him in the back You all loved him once Imagine that? You all loved him once Yes, you ate out of his hand He mirrored your confusion So that you might understand Then your soul was an experiment So he drew a diagram You all loved him once It ended bad You all loved him once And not without cause He helped carry your baggage When your strength was nearly gone And though more and more was put on him He tried his best to take it on You all loved him once Not without cause You all loved him once Now he is gone

The summer was dry like your nose when you've been behind coke for a day and a season We sail out into the grasshopper nite and we seek the righteous poison Sunday morning in speedway, y'know the people come around for a reason SUNDAY MORNIN SUNDAY MORNIN The land is green and you make it grow, go to the forest and move The sound of thundering electrical energy calls us to the park in the noon C'mon anybody-now fill my pipe (to the park) to the forest and move......
Say que sera, whatever will be But then I keep on searching for immortality She's so beautiful but she's going to die some day Everything in life just passes away But, precious time is slipping away You know she's only queen for a day It doesn't matter to which God you pray Precious time is slipping away
