lyrics

Don’t fret about the cost of that egg you’re frying
Once upon a sad, red rooster the blues was dying.
Just play me that one part
To jump start a broken heart
Where the A chord goes off like a teller mine,
Like some rock throwing bully from the end times.

All I know when that highway bends,
Where true life starts and dreaming ends,
It’s good to motor on with friends.
All I know when the cliff meets the sea,
Reality juts into fantasy,
I need someone there besides just me.

The tired old wind whistles down the streets,
Snaking down the alley like a midnight cheat.
Don’t try to tell me I wasn’t very kind.
My heart only froze so it wouldn’t melt.
If I swallowed every time I was fed a line,
I’d be fat enough to wear an asteroid belt.
When the last leaf falls from the dying tree,
Remember me,
Penniless and free.
