Lyrics for Live Circus - Jacksonville - 07/01/08

We put up our tent on a dark Green knoll, outside of town by The train tracks and there was a seagull dump And topping the bill was Horse Face Ethel And her Marvelous Pigs in satin We pounded our steaks in the ground All powder brown And the branches spread like scary Fingers reaching Were in a pasture in Kankakee And one eyed Myra, the queen of The galley who babysat the Camel and the Ostrich She looked at me squinty with her One good eye as she bottle fed An Orangutan named Tripod Now how Tripod got his name is not appropriate for children And then there was Yodeling Elaine the Queen of the air She had a dollar sign medallion About as big as a dinnerplate around her neck And a tiny bubble of spittle Around her nostril and a Little rusty tear, for she had Lassoed and lost another Tipsy sailor And over in the burnt yellow tent By the frozen tractor the music was like electric sugar And Zazu Bolin played "Stavin' Chain" With Mighty Tiny on the saw And he leaned his head back With a mouth full of gold teeth And by the time they finished Moanin Low I was wild eyed And Doctor Bliss slipped me a Preparation and I fell asleep with Livery Stable Blues in my ear 'Gimme a little Livery Stable Blues guys Real nice Play it for me and Molly Cause me and Molly Hoey drank Pruno and Koolaid She had ah a tattoo gun Almost made out of a a-a cassette motor And a guitar string and She soaked a hanky in 3 roses And rubbed it on the spot And she drew a rickety heart and A bent arrow and it hurt like hell And Funeral Wells spun Poodle Murphy on the target And he threw his hardware, only Once in Sheboygan did he miss Only once jesus! It took of just a miniscule piece Of her ear But she'd never let him forget it Women They were doing two shows and she Had a high fever and ya know It probably added to her frustration Her anxiety, her depression And Tip Little told her "Hey if you're smart Leave the bum Leave the bum You've got to leave the bum Leave the bum Leave the bum Leave the bum Leave the bum" But she said, "he fetched me Last time I run" But I'd like to hammer this ring into A bullet And I wish I Had some whiskey and a gun Oh leave the bum You gotta leave the bum
