"Beatle Bones 'n' Smokin' Stones"

"Beatle Bones 'n' Smokin' Stones"


Beatle bones and smokin' stones
The dry sands fall
The strawberry mouth, strawberry moth, strawberry caterpillar
Strawberry butterfly, strawberry fields
The winged eel slither on the heels of today's children
Strawberry feels forever
Yeah, roosters, ol' glass roosters, stick to your race
In a drag-queen, live-wood farmhouse
Tractors are clawin', the folks are crawlin'
Trees in a row climbing a coach and I blow rich
Red, blue, yellow sunset
Where I set and you set, and I've loved and you've loved
And I've seen and you've seen
Salt man has just made his mark and crumbled
The dark, the light, the dark, the day
Porcelain children see through white lights
Soft-cracker bats, Cheshire cats named
The dark, the light, the dark, the day
Blue veins through gray-felt tomorrows
Cellular sail-boat, ye ole feathered kind
Blow it into a pond swayin' in circles
Red, blue, yellow sunset
Where I've set and you've set, and I've loved and you've loved
What I saw and you saw
Strawberry feels forever

"Bellerin' Plain"

"Bellerin' Plain"


Parapliers the willow dipped
Rolled roots gnarled like rakers
This hollow hole don't hold no jokers or fakers
Don't fall by no jokers or fakers
Puller down to the stirrin' hay acres
Parapliers pinches uh levy 'n' pulled way through the toe
Foothills, locomotives walked 'n' sugar beets rolled
Down the tracks
Sunburn bounce soot off the black smokestacks
Parapliers pinched up slow down the sky
Blue 'o' poured the engineer's voice
Whstlin' down low 'n' piped like clacks
By the ol' scarecrow
'N pots 'n' pans burn the fireman's hands till the
Kettle leaped fire round the belly 'o'
The bayou boy bums with sunken gums
'N pits his strength to the 7th sons down
Parapliers rumbled like uh straight iron gun
Like uh red hot iron through the egg white 'o'
Sunnyland drum, horn blow
Sun like uh bubble pop yellow, down she go
Mah cowcatcher whistled like uh steel flash scream
Hose sucked out for water 'n' the wheeldriver
Sparkled like an Indian flint
'N the fireman 'n' the brakeman bent 'n' waved his long red underwear arm
All aboard
The lantern flared 'n' the caboose waved uh green gone on

"Best Batch Yet"

"Best Batch Yet"


We don't have to suffer, we're the best batch yet
Baked in special
White flesh waves to black

You might think this is the finest pearl
But it's only cardboard balls
Seamed in glue
Overwhelming technique
Done t' diligence
It's all happening from the inside, you say?
Done from the inside
Where it barely shows on the outside
It's remarkable

I think this is the best batch yet
We don't have to suffer, we're the best batch yet
Baked in special, we're the best batch yet
White flesh waves to black

You might think this is the finest pearl
But it's only cardboard balls
Seamed in glue
Overwhelming technique
Done through diligence
It's all happening from the inside, you say?
Done from the inside
Where it barely shows on the outside
It's remarkable

I say...
I think this is the best batch yet
We're baked in special, we're the best batch yet
We don't have to suffer, we're the best batch yet

"Big Eyed Beans From Venus"

"Big Eyed Beans From Venus"


Distant cousins, there's a limited supply
And we're down to the dozens, and this is why
Big Eyed Beans from Venus! Oh my, oh my

Boys and girls
Earth people around the circle
Mixtures of man alive
Big eyed beans from Venus
Don't let anything get in between us

Beam in on me baby
And we'll beam together
I know we always been together
But there's more

Mister Zoot Horn Rollo, hit that long lunar note
And let it float

Men let your wallets flop out
And women open your purses
Cause a man or a woman without a big eyed bean from Venus
Is suffering with the worstest of curses
Yeah, you're suffering, with the worstest of curses

Put 'em out in the sun, and when the night come
You don't have to go out and get 'em
They'll glow with you
They'll go with you
They'll show with you
Ain't no losers
'Cause they're on the right track
'Cause they're on the right track
You can be on the right track, woman
Of course, of course

Ain't no SNAFU, no fol-de-rol

Check these out, Big eyed beans from Venus
Oh, let a few out, let 'em pass in between us

Distant cousins, there's a limited supply
And we're down to the dozens, and this is why...

Don't let anything get in between us!
Big eyed beans from Venus
Big eyed beans from Venus

"Bills Corpse"

"Bills Corpse"


Quietly the rain played down on last of the ashes
Quietly the light played down on her lashes
She smiled and twisted, she smiled and twisted
Hideously looking back at what once was beautiful

Playing naturally magically
Oh, her ragged hair was shinin' red white and blue
All 'n all the children screamin'
"Why surely madam you must be dreamin'
You couldn't have done this if you knew what you were doin'"

Well the gold fish in the bowl lay upside down bloatin'
Full in the sky and the plains were bleached white with skeletons
Various species grouped together according to their past beliefs
The only way they ever all got together
Was not in love but shameful grief

It's not the way I'd like it to get together
That's not the kind of thoughts I'd like to keep
The rain played lightly down, down on the formaheap

Oh lady, look up in time
Oh lady, look out of love
And you should have us all
Oh, you should have us fall

"Blabber 'n Smoke"

"Blabber 'n Smoke"


All you ever do is blabber 'n smoke
There's ah big pain in your window
'N all your waters turn to rope
It gonna hang you all
Dangle you all
Dang you all
If you don't hurry there will be no hope
Why don't you quit actin' like ah dope
All you ever do is blabber 'n smoke
It don't matter where you got your start
Which side of your head you wear your heart
Clean up the air
'N treat the animals fair
I can't help but think you treat love like ah joke
Time's runnin' out
'N all you ever do is blabber 'n smoke
Blabber 'n smoke
Blabber 'n smoke

"Brickbats"

"Brickbats"


Brickbats fly at my fireplace
Upside down I see them in the fire
They squeak and roast there
Wings leap across the floor
Fold up the wall shadows
The window curtain ghost
Throws my heart and dusts my throat
My mind caught by the corner
Gradually decides its safe
Becomes a bat itself
Flexes its little claws
Curse its leather wings
With loud, hollow pops
Around the room
Threatening to dash its brains
Somehow at the last minute
Retreats and becomes a natural glue
And holds fast and slow
In every other motion
Making the night more interesting
Becomes a cold, liquid breeze
That freezes and thaws
And pours the surroundings full
As no breath can be taken
It drowns and relieves
To see the black turn into yellow
And the yellow into black
Brickbats
Brickbats
Brickbats
Brickbats

"Call On Me"

"Call On Me"


Call on me whenever you're in your lonely blue
In my house whenever you ever need me to call on you
At any time baby that you need love
And a little of that understanding too
Feel free love, call on me love 'cause I'm gonna call on you

I'll be there most any, most any time of day, call on me
To see you baby in the same old loving way, call on me
And if in the night you call and I'm away
Leave a little note baby, I'll be there when you say
Whoo, call on me

I'm so lonely, love, when you're away, call on me
And if I should ever, I should ever call on you, I want you to call on me always
I hope your love will always be so true
You call on me babe and I'm gonna surely call on you and uh
You call on me babe and I'm gonna call on you

Call on me baby, ooh come on baby
Come on baby, come baby
Don't you know I'm down on my knees?
Baby baby please
Call on me, call on me

"Candle Mambo"

"Candle Mambo"


Candle shy
Candle weep
Fly hot candle leap
Candle roll
Unfold and ball
Candle large
Candle small
Your threads of fire are burning up
Your feathers of fire are winning night
And turning light
And turning light
Light deepest night for me
And steer for me
Spin and spin then and then
When I'm dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the candle mambo
Candle roll
Unfold and ball
Candle blur
Candle whir
Candle her
Candle her
While your lights are spinning around
Your feathers of fire are winning night
And turning light
And turning light
Candle crack
Candle break
Correct the night's mistake
When I'm dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the candle mambo
Candle mambo...
