Ay where I'm from
We don't appreciate the sun
Nuclear bastard, first corona there ever was
In January the air in the woods jagged and brittle
Decrepit streaks of feldspar grey clouds slit the sky down the middle
Figured it was time for me to get up and ride
Yankee turned cowboy, yeah he tan that fuckin' hide if he catch a glimpse of that hairy Eye
Found my Horse with No Name
Lady took time to tame, 5 gears, no hooves, belt driven 'n' loose as a goose
Big octane rating, Ces Cru gimme the juice
Convene with the tumbleweed and
Barren wasteland
Infinite sand like Bagdad
What y'all don't seem to understand:
I wrote this album with my dad
Said he didn't matter if he was after Texas Red
But this beat boutta put a heavy bounty on my head
By next Wednesday
Hung up, plain as day
Uncle Sun, dead or alive for a variety of crimes: threatening of self
Phoning in the paper chase, unsolicited saving grace, god complex, advertising fake
Petty theft of cattle and a life of complacency
Broken security a testament to how much my brother hated me
Accidental assault and battery
Right outside the Matterhorn Street martial arts academy
Fella said you know judo why don't you take a stab at me
I hopped in there like, no place I'd rather be
Mad as can be I flip tracks like a stock before the candle flee
I kick rocks when I can't handle the mad hattery, in fact
No longer will the smattering of coins scattered at my feet pop the smoke off and end up In a causality
On god
This tavern reeks like Yubaba's salon
Floorboards creak, liquor seep through the cracks to feed the Indian spirits long gone From the memories they used to keep framed on the wall
Tried to keep it vintage
British Petrol signs from the 60's
Unpainted boards for cribbage
Squinting to read the jukebox selection like, "What the f*ck is this?"
Scan the room for a witness
If the degens there noticed me, they ain't say none
Skin scorched psoriasis on the scalp
Goat wool on the tongue
Blistered fingertips grip a Coca Cola and rum
I take a hint, exit to spark a spliff in the desert sun
