It's New Year's |
|
Eve at the gates of hell |
|
Give the antichrist a cigarette and tell him |
|
The boy's here all the way from |
|
OklahomaOh |
|
Lord, what the hell is that aroma? |
|
It's Jimmy |
|
Perkins and all the sonsabitches |
|
Who ripped off musicians and stole their riches |
|
They're burning over yonder with the |
|
Fox News whores |
|
Oh, look is that the singer for |
|
The DoorsNope, my mistake 'cause no matter what they did |
|
Poets deserve to be in heaven and by the way, kid |
|
Why am I here when |
|
I wasn't that bad? |
|
I just didn't like churches but |
|
I never wore plaid |
|
Now I know |
|
I'm funky and strip bar dirty |
|
And I like a |
|
Les Paul through a |
|
Vox AC30There's something about a lipstick pickup |
|
Plugged right into a |
|
Blond Tremolux |
|
But I guess |
|
I deserve to be burned alive |
|
Since I pawned by '59 |
|
ES 335And sure |
|
I drank a lot of gin and tonic |
|
But I never threw away my |
|
PanasonicI kept that turntable through my divorce |
|
Playing Neil |
|
Young and |
|
Crazy Horse |
|
Drunk out of my mind singing "Tonight's The Night" |
|
It was as lethal on vinyl as |
|
China White |
|
Now maybe one time |
|
I used an |
|
Ouija board |
|
And I never learned to make a |
|
B flat chord |
|
So I got a double headed snake tattoo |
|
I love Tao |
|
Te Ching by |
|
Lao TsuAnd the action and the motion of a roulette wheel |
|
And a woman walking away in a pair of high heels |
|
Now once I drew an inside straight flush |
|
And I wished |
|
I could sing like |
|
Otis RushThe truth of the matter is |
|
I really can't sing |
|
But I can quote |
|
Martin Luther |
|
KingHis words are stronger than angel dust is"The arc of the moral universe is longBut it bends toward justice" |
|
Now back to |
|
New Year's |
|
Eve at the gates of hell |
|
It's kind of like the |
|
Beverly Hills |
|
HotelBefore you can get a table next to the fire |
|
A sign says jacket and tie required |
|
The devil is bad and |
|
God of course is good |
|
But there's one thing |
|
I never understood |
|
God throws us down in hell for all our sins |
|
Burning in a fire and it never ends |
|
The decision is made at the highest level |
|
Seems Got out sources his work to the devil |
|
Like he's an employee on the vice squad |
|
Appears like the devil is working for |
|
GodI can't believe |
|
I said that |
|
I'm losing it |
|
It's New Year's |
|
Eve at the gates of hell |
|
Let's party, did |
|
I mention |
|
Jimmy Perkins |
|
Was a lying son of a bitch? |
