Up on the hill by the old copper beach
We got a wooden shack so worn
You could grind it down with your teeth
Here you do nothing but kick back
Nothing but thick smoke and good times
Get out of that shack
Downtown people look troubled, pale and deceased
Some folk juggle around with the big rocks
Now they have to fish them out of the stream
But up here Attila the Greeks got nothing on me
Ancient monolith whatever
Got none on me
Wherever we go things are looking fine
I always said boy don't you ever
Go stronger than wine
But I never fancied no dogma
Rather write between the lines
When it gets too hot at night
We lay in the dew
Tap into a memory and
String it to a tune
Pass it all around I tell you
I cut a monolith out of you
Saw some pretty roll off the mountain slope
Just kept tumbling on downhill
I'm not sure where I'm going
Winter made my legs stiff and cold
But no more aches and frowns
'Cause the seeds have been laid for another day
The head must bow now and the back will ache
Put my money on the horse's tail then
I saw she had four wooden legs
That creature she ain't taking home no race
I'll be handing my soul over to corporate goons
Turn a blind eye to those who suffer on the news
Do whatever it takes
To be lying right next to you
Got lost in the horizon
I was turning blind
Thunder lightning further up woke my mind
I put the hammer on the table
Said boy, how many fingers do you plan on keeping tonight?
Then bury this here tool before we both will be screaming like fools
I've been rolling with the coal wagons now east and west
This old diesel cuts the horizon
Into half thirds and fifths
Now I'm gaining age in a slower rate
My girl she is tougher than the rest
This engine cuts mountains into dust
We'll blow past whatever that's left
Out there in the wild
I'll be drinking my liquor in the city here tonight
Tomorrow I'll be passing on along down the line
I'm done selling myself for the highest bidder
I'll take it day by day now
Till my coke's distracting me like litter
