ELECTRIC MUSIC AND THE SUMMER PEOPLE Sign in or register

 
Out on the highway I'm doing it my way
Zig-zag patients vibrating the ancients
Handing out money
The fly's making honey
Beaches aplenty
The pigs on the levee

Let's don't be like everyone else
With the one-trip rooms
The halfway house
Big black drums beat in the night
Running away
That's what I like

Seasons are turning
Village is burning
Convalescents open their presents
Wandering children ready and willing
Beggars and lightweights harness the highway

Let's don't be like everyone else
With the one-trip rooms
The halfway house
Big black drums beat in the night
Running away
That's what I like

Abandoned coal mine
We'll have a good time
Red tape rivals recycling bibles

Let's don't be like everyone else
With the one-trip rooms
The halfway house
Big black drums beat in the night
Running away
That's what I like
