One two, one two three
As I start out on this new endeavour
Trying to make an honest buck
Because, I guess, it's now or never
'Bye now, wish me luck
All around me shrapnel flying
Lord, please teach me when to duck
Far braver man than I are dying
'Bye now, wish me

He was born on a freight train
He was born on a cruise ship
He was born on an airplane
He was born in a taxi cab

He was born in a blizzard, far away in a manger
On the top of a mountain, in the mist of the jungle

He was born in the dessert when the lilacs were bloomin

My baby was talking in her sleep
She said, "Bob?"
I said, "What?"
She said, "Bob?"
I said, "I'm Bob!"
She said, "No. I mean a different Bob"

And so I asked her the next day
I said, "Jane?"
She said "What?"
I said, "Who is Bob?"
She said, "You're Bob!"

Buster Cornelius was an honest man but he ruled his people with an iron hand
Buster Cornelius was a regular Joe but if you did him wrong, he'd let you know

Buster Cornelius was fine and upstanding but to his people he was hard and demanding
He was always brave and never cruel but d

I was out walking, Miracle Mile
So I missed the call for the call of the wild

I was downtrodden, rebewed and reviled
I was not invited to the call of the wild

I was rather sickly and I'll as a child
Too weak to respond to the call of the wild

My demeanour is gentle,

[?] A hundred poor [?], I work all day, I hardly have no time to play
I only have time to take a piss, there must be more to live than this
I caught Sally in a lie; I caught her with another guy
She promised they was only friends, that is where our story ends

Last night I went

I'm considering a move to Memphis with my hair all aglow
When I arrive in Memphis, I'm bound to meet up with someone I might know

I'm considering, I'm considering
A move to Memphis, a move to Memphis
I'm considering, I'm considering

I'll visit the Graceland mansion and se

I've been watering my horse since way before noon
Well, I hope that beast gets satisfied soon

I'm a mean old hombre from a border town
Woke up the sheriff and gunned him down

Dance critters when I say dance
Dance critters, dance critters

I've been eating sand and ca

Hungry wolves are howlin', rabid dogs run free
The sky is full of vultures
The sharks have left the sea
Thieves and murderers roam the street
They'd love to see you dead
Yet you make your way in this world with not a hair touched on your head
Just like Daniel, Daniel in t

Death fears no man, nor women none too
Death fears nobody, not me and not you
There's no way of keepin' ol' death from your door
When your time it has come you'll be with us no more

Death fears no man and why would he too?
What in the world now, does death have to lose?

Doctor Negative!

I went to the doctor just to pick up a pill
When I left that place I was terminally ill, oh Doctor Negative
I went to the doctor I was looking for some hope
When I left that place I was drunk and shootin' dope, oh doctor Negative
Who put a human brain in th

I never met a girl like Euphoria Jones (Euphoria Jones)
I never met a man who could leave her alone (Euphoria Jones)
Everywhere she goes heads all turn
Walking down the street she makes the sidewalks burn
Well, I'm not blind; I see she's one of a kind, Euphoria Jones

Everyb

First day I really felt like spring
I said I didn't want to see you again
Your birthday was the night before
I had a terrible time and when I walked through my front door, I saw a face in the mirror hanging on the wall
She said "Don't you ever torture me like that anymore!"
S

Oh come on and fight my battles
Oh come on and plead my case
Oh come on do something to show me I'm not alone in this place
Fortune has not smiled upon me
Has not even bothered to learn my name
Should never have joined this fledgling circus
When it failed, they singled me

Four horsemen arrived at the doorstep, each with a bucket of beer
"Take it easy" one said "We've come in peace"
"Relax you have nothing to fear"

The prophets of old came to join them and sat around banging the drum
It's a noise that's annoying to many but heavenly music to some

I took my gal out on a date
I said, "Tonight let's stay out late"
"You wanna go uptown?"
"No, indeed"
The funky west side is just my speed
Funky west side, funky west side
Funky west side, funky west side

I took a job, I was driving a cab
Not too thrilling, very

I've got no talent for making money
I've got skills that no one needs
If you have talent for making money
You're a lucky man indeed

I lack wisdom, I lack foresight and I lack ambition too
I lack courage and perseverance
So what am I supposed to do?

There's a bould

I went down to Gravel Road
I went to get my fortune told
The fortune teller robbed me blind
I can't get her out of my mind
I don't know where I've been since then
I'll never go down Gravel Road again

Gonna visit the place, gonna stand in the spo

Then the things get all confused and things get all shook up
You lose your sense of balance and find yourself upside-down
Turn on you water faucet, all this green stuff falls out
And when you try to speak, the words will not make sense

I'm not a big disaster, I get my work all
