<=And now the song...=>
there's a poor man in my gutter, Mr three-piece at my window
cut to the core of the problem, but he hung up the phone.
These days I feel so impotent, these days I'm so depressed.
I got hate mail coming to my door via Federal Express.



One thing Daddy told me, and I think about it a lot,
[B] [A]
he said "Son you've got to strike while the iron is hot."

Now there's a blind dog ambling down the side of the road.
Most folk around here, they drive pretty slow.
Now I don't know whether to weep and I don't know whether to laugh,
but that hound dog and destiny just swerved into my path.
My friend Johnny drives a bread truck, he's in love with the metaphor.
He's been reading lots of books about the rise and fall of culture.
He's making his observations. he's got notebooks full of them.
He's gonna do something drastic and I can't say I blame him.



One thing Daddy told me and I think about it a lot.
He said "Son you move your head when it's on the choppin' block."

I went down to my doctor, see what was making me ill.
He said, "I've seen this kinda thing before, something closing in for the kill.
you gotta go under the knife, you gotta swallow a bitter pill,
[B] (mute) [E]
You know, redemption don't come easy. somebody's gotta suffer, Bill."
(Serve you right, serve you right, serve you right to suffer.)
(Then they jam on A,E,A,E,B,A)

Black Crow been flying round my house for seven days.
five scarecrows in the cornfield won't make 'em go away.
Three members of the Trinity just dropped by as guests.
They said "Enough of the pleasantries. We gotta warrant for your arrest."
Now Mr. Three-piece and my window wants me to butter his bread.
He says "Now would I lie to you son?" Now let me think about it... I dunno I said
Goodness Mr. Three-piece, your heart it feels like ice.
and that man on the corner, he might be Jesus Christ.



(Then they jam out on E for a little while longer.)
