You tried to fool me but I done proved you wrong
You took everything but I still got this song
Singing I love rock n’ roll and I love killing time
They go together like the wind in the pines
My mother she told me, son, you’re gonna go far
But she never expected it’d be with my guitar
It was late one night on that snake river bridge
That I met my match in Calvin Coolidge
He was not the man who could be president
But he asked me for my dollar and a dollar I did spend
He was quiet as a mouse, not one word did he speak
But he showed me colors I’d never seen
I’m sorry, Mama, never meant to do you harm
But you just don’t know how it feels
When that needle hits my arm

Baby I’ve been here before
And I’ve been through all of your drawers
And I’ve seen through the seams of all of your scenes
Through windows that’ll never be stained
Meanness is the clearest of kinds
Retying all of its binds
Leaving loose a tightly knotted noose
For the one best able to Cained
Hello Hello baby come home though you may no longer know the way
Well well well ain’t that shame you’ve given away what I sell
I’ll find another you know what they say
Show ‘em heaven and they’ll follow you to hell
Fishing so shallow a well
Finishing the mission to tell
The difference between a pimp and a priest
Are driving us all insane

Bumblebees

My cheeks grow red in the passing wind
Not nearly so heavy as it’s lately been
But the black and the yellow has punctured my skin
Injecting me, smiling, with death’s great grin
I’m failing to perceive with any worthy grief
All you’ve sucked from me
Wrapped in a coat of bumblebees
Stinging everything I see
I’m so sublime son, I haven’t got a care
I’ve climbed every mountain and forgotten all the stairs
But beneath my wings you’ll remember all’s fair
In chess, death, and honey that I’ll take now without care
Wrapped in a coat of bumblebees
Stinging everything I see
Wrapped in a coat of bumblebees
Stinging everything I see
