"Low Yo Yo Stuff"

"Low Yo Yo Stuff"


Fast goes fast
Slow goes slow
Alright now, do the low yo yo yo yo
Now do the low yo yo yo yo yo yo
Like that girl standing on the corner
Trying to get a ride to the other side
When way down underneath
All she had to do was move her pretty feet
And do the low yo yo yo yo
Alright baby, do your low yo yo with all your stuff
Now, baby, do your low yo yo stuff
Now, baby, it's in your beanie
Whether you're long, tall, short or skinny
Sometimes it's rough
You mean to tell me it's that low yo yo stuff?
Low yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
Fast goes fast
Slow goes slow
Low yo yo yo yo
Like that girl standing on the corner
Trying to get a ride to the other side
When way down underneath
All she had to do was move her pretty feet
And do the low yo yo yo yo
What if my girlfriend back home
Finds out what my fingers have been doing
On my guitar since I been gone?
Don't anybody tell her
I been doing the low yo yo yo yo
Like any other fella
Away from home, all alone
Been doing that low yo yo yo yo
Ya, I been really carrying on!
Fast goes fast
Slow goes slow
Rich are rich and the po' are po'
Everybody's doing the low yo yo yo yo
Everybody's doing it
Deep down everybody knows they should
Do the low yo yo yo yo

"Making Love To A Vampire With A Monkey On My Knee"

"Making Love To A Vampire With A Monkey On My Knee"


Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee
The pond shined dry like a ladies compact
Lilies leaped like flat green hearts with white hearts
Squirting yellow pollen... cocks...
Ferns ran like cool spades... fossils... away from rocks
Bees echoed dark carbon hums that dashed in nothing
Gnats fucked my ears 'n nostrils
Hit my brain like hones 'n numbed to nothing
Wings stuck on liquid bones
Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee
The moon poured hollow down my milky leg
Splashed still 'n moved
The wind peed down the willows 'n pricked the needle vine
The monkey moved a fur shadow... its soot tail curled in twos
Its lips smiled needles... its eyes rolled loose
Her throat broke open... glistened in the dew
Red berries dangled like a dream of rubies too
Snot muscles ran down her ivory chin 'n tooth within
A locket... a pin held fast to then, my love, my pocket deep within
'N senses dangled the chain that clasped me to her then
The messenger spoke the wind that blows between our time
I sensed you then 'n whispers spin 'n flow in silver dust
Around the pointed pin
Sent to nothing
God, please fuck my mind for good
Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee
Oh fuck that thing... fuck that poem... eyes crawl out with maggots
White cloth bones pile up light thrown blades
Rags 'n skull... scoops soil cracks... drain screams... please
Take my hand 'n join me... too soon its clutches gleams
Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee
Death be damned... life

"Moonchild"

"Moonchild"


Moonchild
Moonchild
Moonchild
On the night she was born
The lightning flashed and the thunder roared
But when they heard her cry
The clouds rolled back and the full moon filled the sky
Shining down in her eye
And it made her cry
Can you hear her cry?
Moonchild
She always looks so pale
The things she spoke and a long white veil
Moonchild
She has wrapped up so tight
Your mind comes loose and you drift on out of sight
She's a child of the night
And like a child she cries
Can you hear her cry?
Moonchild
Moonchild
Moonchild
I know she tries to hide
The way she feels on the darker side
Moonchild
She likes to fall in love every time there's a full moon up above
Then she's out of this world
She's another girl
And it makes her cry
I love to hear her cry
Moonchild

"Moonlight On Vermont"

"Moonlight On Vermont"


Moonlight on Vermont affected everybody
Even Mrs. Wooten well as Little Nitty
Even lifebuoy floating with his
Little pistol showing and his little pistol toting
Well, that goes to show you what a moon can do

No more bridge from Tuesday to Friday
Everybody's gone high society

Hope lost his head and got off on alligators
Somebody's leaving peanuts on the curbins for a
White elephant escaped from the zoo with love
Goes to show you what a moon can do
Moonlight on Vermont

Well it did it for lifebuoy and it did it to you
And it did it to zoo and it can do it for me
And it can do it for you
Moonlight on Vermont

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Don't gimme no affliction
That old time religion
It's good enough for me
Ah, it's good enough for you

Well, come out to show them, come out to show them
Come out to show them, come out to show them
Come out to show them, come out to show them
Come out to show them

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me

Without your new affliction
Don't need your new restrictions
Gimme that old time religion
It's good enough for me

Moonlight on Vermont

"My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains"

"My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains"


I'll let a train be my feet
If it's too far to walk to you
If a train don't go there I'll get a jet or a bus
Because I'm going to find you
You're going to see me shadow soon around you
And my head is my only house unless it rains
I walk the meadow plains
Water deserts are my eyes until I find you
I won't sleep until I find you
I won't eat until I find you
My heart won't beat until
I wrap my arms around you
My arms are just two things in the way
Until I can wrap them around you
You can make my sad song happy
Make a bad world good
I can feel you out there moving
You're mine, I know I'll find you
And my head is my only house until I've found you
I hate to have other people hear me sing this song
If this reaches you before I do
Follow it to "I love you"
That's where I'll find you
And my head is my only house until I find you

"My Human Gets Me Blues"

"My Human Gets Me Blues"


I saw you baby, dancin' in your x-ray gingham dress
I knew you were under duress
I knew you were under your dress
Just keep comin' Jesus, you're the best dressed
You look dandy in the sky but you don't scare me
'Cause I got you here in my eye
In this lifetime
You got my-human-gets-me blues
With your jaw hangin' slack and your hair's curlin'
Like an ole navy fork stickin' in the sunset
The way you were dancin' I knew you'd never come back
You were strainin' to keep your old black cracked patent shoes
In this lifetime
You got my-human-gets-me blues
Well the way you'd been ol' lady, I could see the fear in your windows
Under your furry crawlin' brow, a silver bow
Rings up in inches
You were afraid you'd be the devil's red wife
But it's alright, God dug your dance
And would have you young and in his harem
Dress you the way he wants 'cause he never had a doll
'Cause everybody made him a boy
And God didn't think to ask his preference
You can bring yer dress and your favorite dog
And your husband's cane
And your old spotted hog
'Cause in this lifetime
You got my-human-gets-me blues

"Neon Meate Dream Of A Octafish"

"Neon Meate Dream Of A Octafish"


Lucid tentacles test 'n sleeved
'n joined 'n jointed jade pointed diamond back patterns
Neon meate dream of a octafish
Artifact on rose petals
'n flesh petals 'n pots
Fack 'n feast 'n tubes, tubs, bulbs
In jest, incest, injest, injust, in feast, incest
'n specks 'n speckled speckled, speckled speculation

Fedlocks waddlin' feast, archaic faces frenzy
Ceramic fists artificial deceased
'n cysts rancid buds burst
Dank drum 'n dung dust
Meate rose 'n hairs
Meaty meate rose 'n hairs
Meaty dream wet meate
Limp damp rows

Peeled 'n felt fields 'n belts
Impaled on 'n daeman
Mucus mules
Twat trot tra la tra la
Tra la tra la tra la
Whale bone fields 'n belts
Whale bone farmhouse
Cavorts girdled 'n ladders alight
Cavorts girdled 'n ladders alight
Uh dipped amidst
Squirmin' serum 'n semen 'n syrup 'n semen
'n serum
Stirrupped in syrup
Neon meate dream of a octafish

"New Electric Ride"

"New Electric Ride"


Here we go again, baby
On the new electric ride
Twisting and turning
Over on our side
Here we go around the curve
Ya, we really going to swerve
Oh, I could barely hold my pride
I could barely hold my pride

Rappin' so hard I'm holding my side
With you right by my side
With my baby right by my side
When the machine-guitar stars to playing
We're watching the shooting stars
We're under love's blue sky
On the new electric ride

Think of all the love we've been missing
Then we start to kissing and kissing
I could barely hold my pride
With my baby right by my side
Loop-de-loop
Ride and glide
Swoop-de-swoop
On the new electric ride

With my baby right by my side
I can barely hold my pride
From coast to coast
She loves me the most
Twisting and turning, side by side
My baby loves to hide
On the new electric ride
Up and down, around and round
She loves me the most
On the new electric ride
Up and down, around and round
She loves to hide
On the new electric ride...

Men you been lookin' all around for the women

Mmm, there ain't no other place to go but there
I'm talkin' about women
Yeah, I'm talkin' about women, man
They don't have to hit me
To make me know it's there
None o' my women have tears in their eyes
You can ask 'em about me I swear
'N they'll tell you
That's one man I swear
Yeah that's a man
'Nuff about tellin' you this

Mmm, y' gotta wait for your woman

Let her know you're there
