re: Lyrics that hit you

I've got a little black book with my poems in.
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in.
When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in.

I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on.
Got those swollen hand blues.
I got thirteen channels of shite on the T.V. to choose from.
I've got electric light.
And I've got second sight.
I got amazing powers of observation.
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home.

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm.
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favorite satin shirt.
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers.
I've got a silver spoon on a chain.
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains.

I've got wild staring eyes.
And I've got a strong urge to fly.
But I got nowhere to fly to.
Ooooh, babe when I pick up the phone

"Surprise, surprise, surprise..."
There's still nobody home.

I've got a pair of Gohills boots
But I got fading roots.

My mouth fell open
Hoping that the truth
Would not be true
Refuse the news

I'm feeling sick now
What the frick am I
Supposed to do
Just lose and lose

First time I saw you
You were sitting
Backstage in a dress
A perfect mess

You never knew this
But I wanted badly for you to
Requite my love

Left on the floor
Leaving your body
When highs are the lows
And lows are the way
So hard to stay
Guess now you know
I love you so

I liked your whiskers
And I liked the
Dimple in your chin
Your pale blue eyes

You painted pictures
Cause the one
Who hurts
Can give so much
You gave me such

I'm an ocean in your bedroom
Make you feel warm
Make you wanna re-assume
Now, we know it all for sure

I'm a dance hall
Dirty break beat
Make the snow fall
Up from underneath your feet

Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you wanna go

I'm a meth lab, first rehab
Take it all off
And step inside the running cab
There's a love that knows the way

I'm the rainbow
In your jail cell
All the memories of
Everything you've ever smelled

Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go

Sideways falling, more will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me, I can't hide it
Come again, get me excited

I'm an inbred and a pothead
Two legs that you spread
Inside the tool shed
Now, we know it all for sure

I could show you
To the free field
Overcome and more
Will always be revealed

Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you wanna go

Sideways falling, more will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me, I can't hide it)
Come again, get me excited

I'm the bloodstain
On your shirt sleeve
Coming down and more are coming to believe
Now, we know it all for sure

Make the hair stand
Up on your arm
Teach you how to dance
Inside the funny farm

Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you wanna go

I'll be there but
Tell me when you wanna go
Come again and
Tell me when you wanna go

More will be revealed my friend
