    Well I was drinkin’ last night with a biker
    And I showed him a picture of you
    I said, pal get to know her, you’ll like her
    Seemed like the least I could do.
    Cause when he’s chargin’ his chopper
    Up and down your carpeted halls
    You will think I am dressed up quite proper
    Never mind how I stumble and fall.

    You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot
    For taste of your elegant pride
    I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
    But at least I’m enjoying the ride, at least I’ll enjoy the ride.

    Cause you’re a sweet little softcore pretender
    Somehow, babe, it got as hot as it gets
    With her black leather and gold spike suspenders
    And your chain, your black whip and pets.

    Well we know you’re the reincarnation
    Of the infamous catherine the great
    And we know how you love the ovation
    And the scene that it seems to create.

    You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot
    For taste of your elegant pride
    I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
    But at least I’m enjoying the ride, at least I’ll enjoy the ride.

    You analyze me, tend to despise me
    You laugh when I stumble and fall
    There may come a say when I’ll dance on your grave
    Unable to dance I’ll still crawl across it
    Unable to dance I’ll still crawl
    Unable to dance I’ll still crawl
    Unable to dance I’ll crawl.

    You must really consider the circus
    It just might be your kind of zoo
    I can’t think of a place that’s more perfect
    For a person as perfect as you.

    And it’s not like I’m leaving you lonely
    Cause I wouldn’t know where to begin
    Well I know you wake up here only
    When the snakes come marching in.

    You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot
    For taste of your elegant pride
    I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
    But at least I’m enjoying the ride, at least I’ll enjoy the ride.
    Ride, ride, ride
    Ride, ride, ride
    Ride, ride, ride
    At least I’ll enjoy the ride.
    At least I’ll enjoy the ride.
    At least I’ll enjoy the ride.

    During my time of seeing the Grateful Dead live - spring 90 on, Hell in a Bucket was consistently the hottest first set opener leading to a great show - both in what I saw live and I've heard on tape - never heard a poor performance of this song from the boys and it always kicked things off in high energy - loved it - miss it

    Check out Charolette the last Dead tour they did HIB in the 2nd set and just blew the place apart. The GRATEFUL DEAD played that night - they stumbled like days of old and Soared like a Phoenix- Its not what they play its how it plays them.
