This here is Donna
She's gonna help us out on this one
ย
Moses come riding up on a quasar
His spurs was a-jingling, the door was ajar
His buckle was silver, his manner was bold
I asked him to come on in out of the cold
His brain was boiling, his reason was spent
Nothing is borrowed, nothing is lent
I asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun
Now and again these things just got to be done
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
Get right to work if you have any sense
You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench
Gideon come in with his eyes on the floor
Said, "You ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door"
Moses stood up a full six foot ten
Said, "You can't close the door when the wall's caved in"
I asked him for water he poured me some wine
We finished the bottle then broke into mine
You get what you come for, you're ready to go
And it's more than ten thousand that come for the show
Abraham and Isaac digging on a well
Mama come quick with the water witch spell
Cool clear water where you can't never tell
ย
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
Get right to work if you have any sense
You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench
ย
See, I notice you bring dogs to concerts here, too
Very nice, restaurants, concerts
ย
You sure can get your Grateful Dead watches in the lobby
We'll get around to that kind of stuff
Don't worry, everything's gonna be alright
You betcha
See, we're making a record. This is a record
This is all gonna be a record someday
So we're doing songs that a lot of people haven't ever heard before
You know how it is, you can't do the same stuff forever
Not even us
You end up going colorblind
