Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band

The Magic Band was the backing band of American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Captain Beefheart between 1967 and 1982. The rotating lineup featured dozens of performers, many of whom became known by nicknames given to them by Beefheart. Ex-members of the Magic Band formed the short-lived group Mallard in 1974. The Magic Band reformed in 2003, without Beefheart. more »

Well my cigarette died when I washed my face 
Dropped some drops in an ashtray hit a wrong place 
Woman at my blinds to see spiders spinning lines 
It's a safe as milk it`s a safe as milk 
I never heard it put quite that way 

The shape I`m in is a gone a way 
They called a day they called a day 
Yesterday`s paper headlines approach rain gutter teasing rusty cat sneezing 
Soppin' wet hammer dusty and wheezing 

Lusty alley whining trashcan blues 
Children running after rainbows stocking poor 
Gracious ladies nylon hanging on to line 
Jumping onto leg looking mighty fine 
 
Sorrows lollipop lands stick-broken on a dark carnival ground 
Pop up toaster cracklin' Aluminium rhythm and sound 
Every day pencil lazy and sharp 
The icebox inside looking like a harp 

E-lectric bulb been out for years Freezer fumes feed the gas tears 
Cheese in the corner with a mile long beard 
Beggin` blue bread dog eared (repeat twice) 
 
I may be hungry but I sure ain`t weird
