Self Pity

Sure like to boogie after death comes callin
Sure like rockin when Im far away
"Ooh Pooh Pah Doo" lettin Jesse watch the heavens
Paint another picture while youre turnin' gray
Paint another picture while youre turnin' gray

Everything I knew about was always American
Skip a stone lightly and youll be okay
Never really get my rockin feet to movin
Till somebodys singin', "Not Fade Away"
Till somebodys singin', "Not Fade Away"

Got mystery train fever and Im a believer
And go down Moses
And Ill send you red roses
Despair and death at an early age

You sang about truckin and the band had it movin
If you were a lizard then you might be gone
A little self-indulgence never moved a mountain
Dont need the fiddler yellin, "Yeah, right on
Dont need the fiddler yellin, "Yeah, right on

Youre my angel from a wet salvation
You can buy and sell me so you shine me on
Your mama worked hard and the acid made you think about it
Why mother water are the days all gone?
Why mother water are the days all gone?

Why mother water are the days all gone?
Why mother water are the days all gone?

Got mystery train fever and Im a believer
And go down Moses
And Ill send you red roses
Despair and death at an early age
