King of CT

You're damned right I'm the King
of Connecticut swing
I pulled the sword out the stone
It's widely known
I pulled that sword right out the stone
It's widely known
And minds were blown
I sell by the pound
This Sunshine sound
No eighth or grams
Just rocks and stones
It's widely known
No eights no grams
It's widely known
Just rocks and stones
I don't give no loans
My rig is big
Like a flying pigs
A male swine's a boar
And hams have bones
It's widely known
A sweet shiny boar
And hams have bones
It's widely known
And this hog has flown
It's a crossroads deal
No borrow no steal
It's a crossroads deal
No borrow no steal
No beg no plead no cry no moan
It's widely known
No beg no plead no cry no moan
It's widely known
And my soul's my own
I'm playing this here guitar for just one thing
I'm coming' to tell all y'all that I'm the King (x3)

Up from the skies
Down by the river
Under the mountain
Over the sea
They say that fortune favors the bold
But she don't seem to favor me
I've been giving it away for too long
Electric mud in shades of neon brown
Pay up pay up for a real good time
Electric mud in shades of neon brown
Gone off the rails
But I'm a survivor
Gotta keep moving
It's all that I know
I believe in my heart that this is the right way
But this free ride has got to go
I've been giving it away for too long
Electric mud in shades of neon brown
Pay up pay up for a real good time
Electric mud in shades of neon brown
Move over rover
Later alligator
Swamp Yankee got a ticket to roll
Before I leave give me copper for my eyes
Two pretty pennies gonna pay the ferryman's toll
I've been giving it away for too long
Electric mud in shades of neon brown
Pay up pay up for a real good time
Electric mud in shades of neon brown

Blow your mind Econline
Weed acid Grand Funk fat white lines
Strawberry Boone's Farm a couple of 'ludes
Same old songs with a new attitude
I got a pain in my head
I got a lump in my bed
Come fly in my GoKart baby
Earthbound livin' is driving my crazy
I try but the world can't save me
I can't fit in 'cause their minds are all lazy
Don't cry my sad-eyed lady
You'll see the signs go whizzing on by
A mind is a wonderful thing
When you hear those angels sing
In the corn field with your lady love
Over the moon on the wings of a dove
If ya got four wheels then keep 'em on track
We can fly in my GoKart to heaven and back
I got a hole in my head
I got a lump in my bed
Come fly in my GoKart baby
Earthbound livin' is driving my crazy
I try but the world can't save me
I can't fit in 'cause their minds are all lazy
Don't cry my sad-eyed lady
You'll see the signs go whizzing on by
A mind is a wonderful thing
When you hear those angels sing
Copping a feel for the New Green Deal
Feeling alive at a quarter to five
Sabbath in the rec room Poisonous mushroom
Life is sure fun in my van on the run
I got a hole in my head
I got a lump in my bed
My eyes are all red
I'd be better off dead
Come fly in my GoKart baby
Earthbound livin' is driving my crazy
I try but the world can't save me
I can't fit in 'cause their minds are all lazy
Don't cry my sad-eyed lady
You'll see the signs go whizzing on by
A mind is a terrible thing
When you hear those devils

Woe
To us
Sweet song
Of lust
I don’t want to drown
But I think I must
Rough Diamond
Cut with
African dust
Rough Diamond
Cut with
African dust
Woe

Sweet song
Of lust
Swirling
Maelstrom
Sent to swallow us

Pretty Good Ghost
09:25

On a dark and stormy night she came scratching at my door
Weren’t the wind that I heard moaning when my feet they hit the floor
When I opened up she said to me “Ooh, baby you’re the most”
“All my friends they been telling me you’d make a pretty good ghost”
Rain Rain through my window
Tear stains on my pillow
I’m only happy when the wind blows
This saucy apparition stole the sleep right from my eyes
And wordlessly she spoke to me, which came as some surprise
Her stranger aeons traveled here just to blow my mind
I could see right through her shroud that this girl was fine
Rain rain through my window
Tear stains on my pillow
I’m only happy when the wind blows
Lord I know
Rattling those chains that lock my heart up tight
She gave a whole new meaning to “Bump in the night”
Yes the phantom on my doorstep was a different kind of scream
But when the sun came up I could not know if it was real or just a dream
Rain Rain through my window
Tear stains on my pillow
I’m only happy when the wind blows
Rain rain through my window
Tear stains on my pillow
I’m only happy when the wind blows, all I know
Rain Rain through my window
Tear stains on my pillow
I’m only happy when the wind blows
Rain rain through my window
Tear stains on my pillow
I’m only happy when the wind blows, on my nose
Rain Rain through my window
Tear stains on my pillow
I’m only happy when the wind blows

The Lone Ranger is coming to town
He won't let nobody bring him down
His eyes see within
These thorns are his crown
He won't let nobody bring him down
His partner's an Indian
With fire in his veins
He never heard about no growin' pains
His horse is a martyr
His gun is his fame
He was born to fucking play this game
His wife is an old man
Who lives in the sun
He won't nobody hurt no-one
Though they try and they try
They almost capsized
The Pope was surprised
They both nearly died
When nobody tried
To hurt no-one
