Lassy Falling Blues (1984) Lyrics

A lassy falling down a garden lane

Trickenothwopping along them still

Guardian angels flutter about

She passes poles of ribbon candy strung all over

Shingles falling off all over the street

Gully-fish flipping out of the pavement

Nickels falling from the sky

A log-tom barber jingles out of his house

Banditwompers surping frizzles at the candy store

On a narrow, dark street with bright sidebuildings

Sparrows, nightingales streak through the hall

Lasting gators nibble on your first several-heel

Negating latherfull noblets glitter all afoot

The little girl gets into it all as she searches on

People sweep by in a car

And dark figures get out

The cold police with steamy puffs around their faces

Black men with dark blue wintercaps in the crowd

Greyhound bus station lurks and sleazes

Corners of record stores flush on the carpet

Daily magazines lying at our feet

Don't get out of that mink carpet, dear

And keep the bonnets on your chest

We all know who we are

And who the pigs are

So proving it doesn't matter

That kind of knowledge and common drug sense

Is the most dangerous of all

To the pigs

To the pigs

To the pigs

Gauntlets tossed into the arena

I'll pick 'em up, c'mon

I'll face 'em all because I already have

I've seen it all

And I can show them a few that I made up

So don't try to scare me with your chilling bone-hand

Mr. Death

Cause I've been worse than you myself

And I'm ready to go back, so watch out
