Tony the Tripper

Tony the Tripper and me And the dude who thought he was my hero And the mayor of Nowheresville And the girl with the wandering eye came a-wandering by We was all under the date-palm tree They left the rolling of one up to me Knowing the world might end tomorrow anyway Back at the burned-out chalet With some broke-down punks and some zero Defending his can of beans Get these weasels away, for Christ sakes Get these snakes off of me I said, "Tony, take it easy" Not knowing if he'd cry or punch me Screaming the world might end tomorrow anyway I was just another warm dog on the pile Who could've ditched him in another couple miles But there was nowhere else I really needed to be Tony the Tripper and me We jumped the fence and split in Bodega Haven't seen him in some time Probably a chance he's in that railroad car in the sky My best friend and worst enemy The last rattle of old Californee Where the world might end tomorrow anyway We was all under the date-palm tree They left the rolling of one up to me Knowing the world might end tomorrow anyway
