(I agree, this song has mystified me for most of a decade; supposedly easier to discern live -- rico)
Two… Three… Four… Five… Six… Seven…
I must have stuffed myself too full Swinging in the jack pine back with Louie Gabino Alabam'-'bama evenin', my mind on somethin' new Baggin' up your groceries, you're skipping to your loo
[rambling chorus: mostly unintelligible, make it up yourself!]
[Hell I skip?] to the side cemetery plots, out the back what you gonna do, far away put a pine box, in your grave [now you're gone gone?], for a [mile?] Still I'm sittin' here now you're gonna show my way
Steady-legged knee jerk as I sit and try to think Standing up in rhythm as I'm pissin' in your sink Now as I'm wonderin', will God sting Can't understand a goddamn word that Munly tries to sing
[Have no idea what this line is; I like to sing: "You! are! wearing plastic nails."]
[unintelligible yodeling and wailing]
Just one thing I must have failed to mention Louie's got a forty-four and his finger's full of tension Now as I'm wonderin', will God stay Can't understand a god damn word that Munly tries to say
(repeat chorus)
Hey hey hey! (8x)
[unintelligible: "You! Wah! way! we! plah wee"]
I started my deception I pulled you underneath the water I pulled the water over our head Now we go In my pine box A bit to short
I was saying pine box swaying My pine box is yours I was hog tied Pine box [weighted?] [way tight?] My pine box is all
So we were saying This is my last surprise The angels singing And the clouds so nice Went down to the river But the river was dry There stands Saint Peter [Down it? Damn, I?] started to cry And we came Through the gates Through the gates of time And we came through the gates and the Cloud was Nine And I got on my knees And I kissed the cloud And I prayed for The Savior, "Don't lock me out!"
