(This is a hard song to transcribe... give it a shot if you know better ;))
(I agree, this song has mystified me for most of a decade; supposedly easier to discern live -- rico)
Two… Three… Four… Five… Six… Seven…
I must have stuffed myself too full
Swinging in the jack pine back with Louie Gabino
Alabam'-'bama evenin', my mind on somethin' new
Baggin' up your groceries, you're skipping to your loo
rambling chorus: mostly unintelligible, make it up yourself!
Hell I skip? to the side
cemetery plots, out the back
what you gonna do, far away
put a pine box, in your grave
now you're gone gone?, for a mile?Still I'm sittin' here
now you're gonna
show my way
Steady-legged knee jerk as I sit and try to think
Standing up in rhythm as I'm pissin' in your sink
Now as I'm wonderin', will God sting
Can't understand a goddamn word that Munly tries to sing
(repeat chorus)
Hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey!
Have no idea what this line is; I like to sing: "You! are! wearing plastic nails."
unintelligible yodeling and wailing
Just one thing I must have failed to mention
Louie's got a forty-four and his finger's full of tension
Now as I'm wonderin', will God stay
Can't understand a god damn word that Munly tries to say
(repeat chorus)
Hey hey hey! (8x)
unintelligible: "You! Wah! way! we! plah wee"
I started my deception
I pulled you underneath the water
I pulled the water over our head
Now we go
In my pine box
A bit to short
I was saying
pine box swaying
My pine box is yours
I was hog tied
Pine box weighted? way tight?My pine box is all
So we were saying
This is my last surprise
The angels singing
And the clouds so nice
Went down to the river
But the river was dry
There stands Saint Peter
Down it? Damn, I? started to cry
And we came
Through the gates
Through the gates of time
And we came
through the gates
and the Cloud was Nine
And I got on my knees
And I kissed the cloud
And I prayed for The Savior,
"Don't lock me out!"
