Danger: Fallen Rock (feat. Alamogordo)
Just pulled away from the roadblock Twenty-five cops and a dark blue Fed Can't believe I'm not in the cellblock What's going on here? Why am I not dead? Cause I had the Jazz in the back Zipped up in the guitar case And he searched the car while I had a heart attack 'No drugs here, kid. Get back in the race.'
And holy cow! and what the hell? Burned-out cars and howitzers line the road Ten thousand to two against living to tell That truck took out the powerlines before dumping his load What am I doing here on this Devil's Highway? Practicing for World War Three? Will I make it to Memphis on the hellish day? Does a pine box wait for me?
I hope she's waiting For me at the door Why am I risking my life? Who is it I'm doing this for? We were planning for marriage Many, many years ago She loved my mind until my spirit's miscarriage I saw her hidden face and never let go
So this is what life during wartime is all about And I tell you I'll be damned if I'll die And my mind is clouded by doubt I have to cry, but I just sigh Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Lady, I hear your songs in my head Revealing secrets, tearing into the veil All that shit about the sexual dead Better drown it out with the car stereo wail
I replay the tape that I loved at one time About a Covenant Woman who's a friend so fine Sensorium swimming from imaginary wine The roadwind is howling and I take that as a sign
Trees splintered like 1918 France Rock music shaking this car I'm playing hardball and I just wanted to dance Why didn't they just let me play guitar? I feel like Eddie Rickenbacker The Ace of Hearts-- does that sound silly? Guess I'll have to crush that eastcoast cracker Try and pick up some red hot chili
Thinking of a party in the Jungle Room On the other side of this smoking war zone Shot of Love going crack! bam! boom! Bass guitar modulating the tone
Graceland! Forty miles under my wheels Still got money to lay down at the door I'll get by-- no big deal Know war? Know more
