Well there's blackbirds on the turnpike In the midnight sun There's roosters on the railroad Look out, here they come! The sun went down three days ago & it don't look like it's coming up too soon But i'm walking like a werefolf & I've got my compass pointed at the moon When my daddy was a-dyin' On his death bed he said "son Don't you never choose to chew No voodoo flavored bubble gum" But i chawed myself a jawful & i blew a bubble shaped just like a skull It laughed & bit the head off of A baby before flyin' off to hell Oh dolly mae I'm sad & i can't understand the way That these birds pass before my eye They look like water in the sky if they ask Just tell 'em i'm living in the graveyard Well the moon became a mirror & it fell down from the sky It melted through my vison & it landed in my eye I went to see the shaman & he turned my head into the Face of an old man i went to see the shaman & he smashed my face to Dust with his bare hand I fell down off the mountain I got stung by a snake i ate a moldy cobweb I puked into the lake Tied my shoes with tadpoles & i climbed the weirdest tree That i could find & i sat there for a hundred million years Without a darn thing on my mind oh dolly mae I am sad & i can't understand the way That these birds pass before my eye They look like water in the sky if they ask Just tell'em i'm livin' in the graveyard There's wolves the size of raindrops & they smash out thru your face Spiders big as horses runnin' All over the place I wanna build a barn to put my momma In to keep her out of sight Put a padlock on the graveyard & Go swimming in the black lagoon tonight Well now i hear a knocking Knocking on my old back door There's a dead dog in the basement Fire on the second floor The refrigerator's full of blood & this'll be the last you hear from me Cuz by this time tomorrow I'll be hitch-hikin' down route infinty
