Rocket to a Stranger Stoned in Gold
I can see the rocket's red glare
Violet bombs bursting in the air
But first I need a drink or two or three
Baby won't you come around to me
And in the dead of night
You won't hear sound
Except the fireflies
Weeping in the ground
I'll hold a match to you
And catch the fiery flame
It burns so bright
Baby you won't know your name
Come along just any way you can
Got my dollar working for the man
Hitched a ride and went a little far
Ended up arresting in your arms
But then I woke upright
And you was gone for good
Was it all a lie
If I only could
I'd lay my head
Right back where it was
And drift to you
Well cuz your my love
Hey I ain't no stranger to the stranger in me
Damn it all to god and tip your hat when it's done
You may mistake me for a gentleman now
But I'm just a lady with my finger in doubt
Oh I'm from El Paso, baby You're from the moon
We'll get together in the desert and dunes
Girl I once loved you my one darling bride
But you took my one good eye and left me blind
I hope you can see things like I did yesterday
Cus the dawns coming early and I believe I lost my way
Hey (yeah)
The song
The Same
Made me get up in my chair
The smoke
Is strange
Gotta come up soon for air
When
Can I start
Well how about tomorrow
Row
Your boat
But you already know
And cope
With coke
And Set ablaze your eyes
Into the night
It's known
We're going
For
The coast
It's known
We're coming
For
The gold
It's known
We're going
For
The coast
It's known
We're coming
For
The gold
I'm smart
And small
And stoned
And stoned
I'm smart
And small
And smoke
Alone
We will be judged
In the last days
By the words he said
The commands he gave,
And if in the morning
We're come to call,
I'm a man of God in pink carnations
Violet bombs bursting in the air
But first I need a drink or two or three
Baby won't you come around to me
And in the dead of night
You won't hear sound
Except the fireflies
Weeping in the ground
I'll hold a match to you
And catch the fiery flame
It burns so bright
Baby you won't know your name
Come along just any way you can
Got my dollar working for the man
Hitched a ride and went a little far
Ended up arresting in your arms
But then I woke upright
And you was gone for good
Was it all a lie
If I only could
I'd lay my head
Right back where it was
And drift to you
Well cuz your my love
Hey I ain't no stranger to the stranger in me
Damn it all to god and tip your hat when it's done

Oh I'm from El Paso, baby You're from the moon
