captain beefheart & his magic band - orange claw hammer lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
a thick cloud caught a piper clubs tail
the match struck blue on a railroad rail
the old puff horse was just pullin’ through
and a man wore a peg leg forever

[verse 2]
i’m on the bum where the hobos run
the air breaks with filthy chatter
oh, i don’t care there’s no place there
i don’t think it matters

[verse 3]
my skin’s blazin’ through
and my clothes in tatters
and the railroad looked
like a ‘y’ up the hill of ladders

[verse 4]
one shoe fell on the gravel
one stick poked down
gray of age fell down
on a pair of ears

[verse 5]
an eagle shined through my hole watch pocket
a gingham girl, baby girl
p-ssed me by in tears
a jack rabbit raised his folded ears

[verse 6]
a beautiful sagebrush, jack rabbit
and an oriole sang like an orange
his breast full a worms
and his tail clawed the evenin’ like a hammer

[verse 7]
his wings took the air like a bomber
and my rain can caught me a cup a water
when i got into town
odd jobs mam, ah, yer horse, i’ll fodder

[verse 8]
i’m the round house man
i once was yer father
a little up the road a wooden candy stripe barber pole
and above it read a sign, ‘painless parker’

[verse 9]
lic-licorice twisted around under a fly
and a youngster c-cked her eye
god, before me if i’m not crazy
is my daughter

[verse 10]
come little one
with yer little dimpled fingers
gimme one
and i’ll buy you a cherry phosphate

[verse 11]
take you down t’ the foamin’ brine and water
and show you the wooden t-ts
on the goddess with the pole out s’full sail
that tempted away yer peg legged father

[verse 12]
i was shanghaied
by a high hat beaver mustache man
and his pirate friend
i woke up in vomit and beer in a banana bin
and a soft l-ss with brown skin
bore me seven babies with snappin’ black eyes
and beautiful ebony skin
and here it is i’m with you my daughter
thirty years away can make a seaman’s eyes
a round house man’s eyes flow out water, salt water
