lyrics

Another genesis over, another exodus begins. I left the last joint smoldering, now I’m lighting up again. I don’t go in for dogma; can’t care about karma; a stretch of highway’s all I need to absolve me of my sins. I’ll run to the capital town, that Athens of the South, meet a songbird/waitress who keeps the bed turned down. She’ll be an angel when she smiles but holy hell when she frowns. And my friends will take me in once she kicks me out.

Another day defeated, another view of the abyss. Another rock on a hillside, another Sisyphus. So stop asking, “why?” Just laugh til you cry. And til the day you die, trust the whole thing is a myth. I make for the Mississippi to take what I can get. Land me some Memphis belle with sophisticated wit. Her southern charm goes missing, when she sees I can’t commit but my friends will take me in when it all goes to shit.

Well I’ll stick with underdogging and causes that are lost every time. I ain’t hounding after love, I’m just trying to raise my quantity of life. Creeping off to the Crescent, who knows what’s in store? Gotta find myself a comfy spot to lay down, like before. I ain’t trying to live better; I’m just trying to live more. And my friends will take me in, when she shows me the door.
