BARROOM BURNOUT


WORDS & MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
COPYRIGHT CONTROL, 2012


The motorway inside my head makes a lot of noise
I hear children crying and laughing - girls and boys
Rattlesnakes and thunder rails
A barren desert drought
Red ant stitches on my tongue
It’s just another barroom burn-out

 

A thousand screechin’ violins create a sonic overkill
Pink elephants parade to a symphony straight out of hell
Thought-dripping leaking drainpipes
Beneath the walls of weeping sounds
The smell of identified perfume
Labeled barroom burn-out

 

I dumped a truckload of poison right there in my veins
The clean white snow outside of my window has turned to grey
Out in the wilderness of my mind
A dark moon is going down
It’s a walk straight out of the fires
Of barroom burn-outs
