Baby of Love
Sing ho and we raise our blood-filled cups
So early in the morning
Sing ho and we raise our blood-filled cups
Sing dee-dicky-dum-dicky-doo!
Baby, you've only a few days to live
? outrageous and sad
I'm forging your signature, you left your estate
To the best doctor you ever had.
I'll ? you a house and a big iron lung
Got you trapped there, you can't run away
Open heart surgery long after dead
All for an apple a day
Sing ho and we raise our blood-filled cups
So early in the morning
Death comes to all who love, my dear
Sing dee-dicky-dum-dicky-doo!
In nineteen hundred eighty-two a little voice inside me said
It's time to raise that ax up, son, and bring it down upon thy..
Headed out one night with the moon shinin' full
Was haulin' ass speeds up from Istanbul
Drunk on absinthe, mead and moonshine
Gonna haul that rig to the end of the line
I strangled my baby like I learned in wartime
And her body washed up on the Jersey shoreline
Now I'm headin' on down to the morgue I'm
Coverin' my tracks, cuz ?
Snuck the body right past the coroner
Into the hallway, right down the corridor
Got it to the pawn shop down on the corner
Tossed it in a circus box car to Florida
I got fat for no goddamn good reason
Baked a honey cake and I cooked all the bees in
I'm unemployed and my ? is out of season
My clothes, in general, are very displeasing.
Goodbye, baby. Goodbye, my love.
Well, I smell your burning bones in my dreams, yeah
How I've wondered how a beauty such as yours..
Did I take you for granted, baby?
No, I'm glad, glad, glad
Baby, you're on fire
And I've totally forgotten about you
And baby, I'll see you in hell
Baby, you know I'll be burning too.
I don't want your arms around me.
I don't want your arms around me, baby.
Your love is like a path of cinders burning under my feet.
Your love is a path of cinders burning under my feet.
I come home
From a hard day's work
Find you there in your easy chair
Your eyes glazed over
Your tongue hanging out
Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.
This is the thanks I get, baby?
This is the thanks I get, baby?
Your love is a path of cinders burning under my feet.
Your love is a path of cinders burning under my feet, baby.
Your love is a path of cinders burning under my feet.
Got a job on the railroad
Working like a motherfucker
Take a shortcut home
Through the old graveyard
I would like to direct your attention to the old graveyard.
Baby, your love is a path of cinders burning under my feet.
Your love is a path of cinders burning under my feet.
Your love
Your love
Here's how we're gonna break it down
I been down south and you know I've been all around
I've been to a doctor occasionally
But I don't think there's that much he could tell me
I couldn't find out myself if I had my own stethoscope.
And we know, we know the president don't know nothin'
And he's just a little bit funny
I guess that explains why they put his face
On all that gay-ass money.
Any doctor'll tell you, ain't no room for love out on the bayou.
I dropped out of bartending school at the tender age of fourteen
Got me a job up in Boise City
[What kind of job?]
I highly payed marketing job working for Fleetwood and Associates.
They make trucks.
Got me a wife and kids
Got me a ?
Got me a six-figure salary, stock options
You call it love
You call it love
You call it love, but I call it a ?
We can work this out
We can salsa till we're dead
We've done this dance before
We can do it again.
Oh, Maria!
What are you trying to do?
You take my horse to the glue factory
They turn it into glue.
They turn it into glue.
You took my horse to the glue factory..
Oh, Rosalita!
What are we gonna do?
Because no one can make a steak donnigan
No one quite like you.
Oh, Rosalita!
What am I gonna do?
No one can make me a steak donnigan
No one quite like you.
Oh, Rosalita!
What are we gonna do?
Take my horse to the gelatin factory
Make his hooves..
Ondine, you weren't long for this world
I guess the lord had other things in mind
But brother will you look down from heaven
And guide me through this pecking order life?
Your poor old friends aren't the same without your
Barbershop trio
I see them cover your rotting carcas with
Pete moss and notes
That sonofabitch at the farmer's market
Didn't mention you were sickly
He took the money and ran down to New Orleans and left me here
with..
Ondine, you weren't long for this world
Crippled pilot on a wing and a prayer
But brother, you don't put all eggs in one basket
But I guess I counted you right before you hatched.

Well I went me to the doctor
I said doctor help me please
I got me a mean-hearted, hard-headed woman
Brought me down to my knees
Well your daddy he's blind
And your mama don't know
Standing out here in the rainstorm
We got us no place to go
I took me to the bodhisattva
The bodhisattva said
A mountain of skulls it is, my son
But know this, that I love them
Each has at some time
Been the nest of your dreams
Your delusions and desires, my son
No, not even one..
Not one of them
Is the skull of any other being
All, all without exception
Have been your own
In the billions and the billions
Of your former lives
I'm tellin' you my son now
All the skulls belong to you
Well your daddy he's stupid
And your mama's undead
Well we're out here in the rainstorm
The rain's falling on our head
Days go by, it's years I'm counting
Since I tossed that coin in that old fountain
I made a wish you wouldn't turn your back on me
Yeah, I know you say you don't love me
But I know, I know, I know it ain't true
And hey, hey, Mister Doctor
What's so wrong with falling in love with you?
Yeah, hey, Mister Doctor
Yeah, yeah, I said what's so wrong with falling in love with me?
I said FUCK NO, baby!
FUCK NO, baby!
I said FUCK NO, baby!
FUCK NO, baby!
You just wanna suck my blood
And grind my bones to make your bread
And you wanna take all of my money
And use me all up till I'm dead.
That's why I said FUCK NO, baby!
FUCK NO, baby!
I said FUCK NO, baby!
said fuck NO, baby!
You wanna wear all my clothes but not wash 'em
Then you wanna hang ME out to dry
You wanna ?? love baby
But then you say I gotta wear a tie?
I said FUCK NO..
Drivin' down Brass Horse Road.
Brass Horse Road.
And I'm not afraid of dying
I'm just afraid of dying alone
And I wonder will the skies ever stop exploding?
Exploding over Brass Horse Road?
Brass Horse Road.
Brass Horse Road.
Brass Horse Road.
Ooh, the dirt is brown here
And it's all on the ground
? teeth were white and the sky is shiny
I was the worst and the best and the last you'll ever have
But I got myself a little bit of dignity
And I got myself a little piece of
Piece of mind
Walkin' down Brass Horse Road.
Yeah, walkin' down Brass Horse Road.
Brass Horse Road.
Brass Horse Road.
Did the lord give me a heart so I could live without it?
The shoe fits, baby, you know you'll wear it out
??? end of my laces
Is it because my shoes are tattered?
Is that why I seem to be losing my mind?
Maybe it's because I just can't find it
Or maybe.. maybe it's because of..
