Saint Huck

[Verse 1] Born of the river Born of its ever-changing, never-changing murky water, yeah, hoo! Oh, riverboat just rollin' along through the great, great, greasy city Huck standing like a Saint, upon its deck If ya wanna catch a Saint Then bait ya hook, let's take a walk [Chorus] "O come to me! O come to me!" is what the dirty city Say to Huck Huck! Woah-woah, oh-oh! Woah-woah, oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-ooh Saint Huck! Huck! [Verse 2] Straight in the arms of the city goes Huck Down the beckonin' streets of opportunity And a-whistling his favorite river-song And a bad-blind nigga at the piano Puts a sinister blue lilt into that sing-a-long And Huck senses something's wrong Sirens wail in the city And little Ulysses turn to putty And Ol' Man River's got a bone to pick And our boy's hardly got a bone to suck [Chorus] He goes, oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-ooh Saint Huck! Yeah, Huck! Huck! Yeah [Verse 3] The moon, its huge cycloptic eye Watches the city streets contract Twist and cripple and crack Saint Huck goes on a dog's leg now Saint Huck goes on a dog's leg now You know the story Ya wake up one morning and you find you're a thug Blowing smoke rings in some dive Ya fingers hot and itching, ya cracking your knuckles Your bull neck bristling Still, Huck, he ventures on whistling And Death reckons Huckleberry's time is up [Chorus] And oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-oh Saint Huck! Yeah, Huck! Huh Oh-oh-oh, oh Saint Huck [Verse 4] Yonder go Huck, minus pocket-watch and wallet gone Skin shrink-wraps his skeleton No wonder he gets thinner, what with his hot and skinny dinner Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis, Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis And you recall the song ya used to sing-along Shifting the river-trade on that ol' steamer Life is but a dream But ya traded in the Mighty Ol' Man River For the Dirty ol' Man Latrine! The brothel shift The hustle and the bustle and the green-backs rustle And all the sexy cash And the randy cars And the two-dollar fucks Oh, your outta luck, oh, your outta luck [Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Saint Huck Yeah, yeah, Huck [Verse 5] This is the track of deception Leads to the heart of despair Huck whistles like he just don't care But in the pocket of the jacket is a chamber Lead pellet sleeps in there Wake up Now Huck whistles, and he kneels And he lays down there See ya, Huck, good luck A smoke ring hovers above his head And the rats and the dogs and the men all come And put a bullet through his eye And the drip and the drip and the drip of the Mississippi cryin' And Saint Huck hears his own Mississippi just rollin' by him [Chorus] Oh-woah-woah-woah, oh-woah-woah-woah-woah Oh-woah-woah-woah, oh-woah-woah-woah-woah Oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-oh Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-oh Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Saint Huck! (Oh-oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-ooh) Oh-woah-woah-woah, oh-woah-woah-woah-woah Oh-woah-woah-woah-ooh
