Desolation Row
from the Dead album "Postcards of the Hanging"
"the beauty parlor is filled with sailors, the circus is in town.
In walks the blind commissioner, they found him in a trance,
one hand is tied to the tightrope walker, the other is in his pants.
And the riot squad they are restless, they need somewhere to go.
As lady and I look out tonight on Desolation Row"
"Now Cinderella she seems so easy, takes one to know one she smiles.
Puts her hands in her back pocket, Bette Davis style.
And in walks Romeo he's moaning, you belong to me I believe.
Someones says you're in the wrong place my friend, you'd better leave.
And the only sound that you can hear, now the ambulance is gone
is Cinderella sweeping up on Desolation Row"
"Now Einstein disguised as Robin Hood, with his memories in a trunk
passed this way an hour ago with his friend a jealous Monk.
He looked so immaculately frightful as he bummed a cigarette,"
"make sure nobody's escaping from Desolation Row"
"the Titanic sails at dawn
everybody's shouting 'which side are you on?'"
"no one has to think too much about Desolation Row"

WEll, WELL, WELL

The man who stole the water will swim forevermore,
But he'll never reach the land on the golden shore.
That faint white light will haunt his heart
Till it's only a memory lost in the dark.
Dig a hole in the ground all the way down to hell
Till there ain't no more water in the well, well, well.
When you're down on your knees with nothing left to sell,
Dig a little deeper in the well, well, well.
The water used to run so clear and so fresh.
Now poison creeps through it that withers the flesh.
The man sells us back our water like we're fish on his line,
Trying to turn our blood into his wine.
Dig a hole in the ground all the way down to hell
Till there ain't no more water in the well, well, well.
When you're down on your knees with nothing left to sell,
Dig a little deeper in the well, well, well.
Well, well, well
Take care of your body like you take care of your soul.
Take care you don't dig yourself into a hole.
Till you've paid the price, you don't know the worth
Of the air and the water, the fire and the earth.
Dig a hole in the ground all the way down to hell
Till there ain't no more water in the well, well, well.
When you're down on your knees with nothing left to sell,
Dig a little deeper in the well, well, well.
well, well, well
The man who stole the water will swim forevermore.
But he'll never reach the land on that golden shore.
When you're down on your knees with nothing left to sell,
Dig a little deeper in the well, well, well.
Well, well, well

You'd have to ask Tom Waits.
Coincidentally, I purchased my Little Willies cd in a starbucks years ago.
Booooooo.

Sick rock show.
Check it out on the archive.org
For everything that's wrong there is a worried man
There is a reason why.
We just don't understand but will,
you got to keep the faith.
Be patient oh the past is just a memory and heal.
Heal your vines you'll heal inside eventually.
We Were born into a light.
We were born a light.
We were born into a light.
For everyone alone I wish you faith and hope
And all the strength to cope
To be your own best friend
have confidence and keep the faith
Be patient oh the past is just a memory
and heal
Heal your vines you'll heal inside eventually.
We were born into a light
We were born a light
We were born into a light
The Lights, The Lights, The Lights.

Tobia:
Back when I was the Wolfman's silent partner, we were getting 50,000 watts out of the transmitter in Rosarito. I'm negotiating now for 250,000. You'll be able to hear us all the way to Biloxi.
