Well there's blackbirds on the turnpike
In the midnight sun
There's roosters on the railroad
Look out, here they come!
The sun went down three days ago
& It don't look like it's coming up too soon
But i'm walking like a werefolf &
I've got my compass pointed at the moon
When my daddy was a-dyin'
On his death bed he said "son
Don't you never choose to chew
No voodoo flavored bubble gum"
But i chawed myself a jawful
& I blew a bubble shaped just like a skull
It laughed & bit the head off of a baby before flyin' off to hell
Oh dolly mae
I'm sad & i can't understand the way
That these birds pass before my eye
They look like water in the sky
If they ask, just tell 'em i'm living in the graveyard
Well the moon became a mirror
& It fell down from the sky
It melted through my vison
& It landed in my eye
I went to see the shaman
& He turned my head into the face of an old man
I went to see the shaman
& He smashed my face to dust with his bare hand
I fell down off the mountain
I got stung by a snake
I ate a moldy cobweb
I puked into the lake
Tied my shoes with tadpoles
& I climbed the weirdest tree that i could find
& I sat there for a hundred million years
Without a darn thing on my mind
Oh dolly mae
I am sad & i can't understand the way
That these birds pass before my eye
They look like water in the sky
If they ask, just tell'em i'm livin' in the graveyard
There's wolves the size of raindrops
& They smash out thru your face
Spiders big as horses runnin' all over the place
I wanna build a barn to put my momma
In to keep her out of sight
Put a padlock on the graveyard &
Go swimming in the black lagoon tonight
Well now i hear a knocking,
Knocking on my old back door
There's a dead dog in the basement,
Fire on the second floor
The refrigerator's full of blood
& This'll be the last you hear from me
Cuz by this time tomorrow
I'll be hitch-hikin' down route infinty.
