REQUIEM FOR A URODELA BLUES


got a face that's full of knotholes/ got a salamander's check
got 12 wooden spoons and a rheumatic's breath
been fixin for a beatin/ Strawman Charlie and the goat parade/
been a stealin and a schemin/ oh well how the plans were laid
this is one of the things at my disposal/ why don't
ya go ahead and tell me how it ends
is my proposal

got cancer of the tongue/ and i gots glycerine in the hole
got a stolen marshall's gun but no place to call my own
bin fixin for a beatin/ Strawman Charlie and the goat parade/
been a stealin and a schemin/ oh well how the plans were laid
this is one of the things at my disposal/ why don't
ya go ahead and tell me how it ends
is my proposal

and when the computer moon decides to fall like rain/
will the optomistic lady lay beside the fawn again

got an envelope fulla dirt/ gots me a salvation army seal/
carryin a bag full of broken ladies fashion high heels
bin fixin for a beatin/ Strawman Charlie and the goat parade/
been a stealin and a schemin/ oh well how the plans were laid
this is one of the things at my disposal/ why don't
ya lemme tell me how it ends
is my proposal

been fixin for a beatin'
been fixin' for a beatin'
