Carpetbagger

Lyrics for Carpetbagger

Whoa Olive drab army jacket linin' That's how I ride around shinin' Like the Pope Thermals under coat, coins for the boat Forked road, I took both Frostbit in flurried snow Passed towns choked with black smoke "No water needed" said Black folk "We seent it when them cracks showed" Exchange pounds, lit the dro Let it go 'round Then kept it movin' twice as fast though (Twice as fast though) Bombed out by dawn Long john arms furs and flannel Hobo commando, rusty revolvers Haunted pianos look out below! Splash, cold water wake-up Don't pray for us rose and faced the sun Stared down through taco shell colored eyes I and I survive, destiny or by design Restless Canaanite, fading light Shake the dice Rolling trip till that elevator cable popped Weightless faith like make a wish Hope play broken myth loopy Polish biscuit tucked inside of a trench Goofy Serpentine roads, Gabardine robes In dreams, fire rolls Wake to cold coals, cinders, ash Pyramids glass Pharaohs laugh behind death mask Panic Rooms filled with cash Tombs pried open, smash and grab Split the stash in sand dunes Shared sour gas Cowards cowering as the final hour passed No fiery lake The crafty ape left to his fate
