Said my prayers to the old black gods
Tied a string around some chicken bones
Set ‘em on fire and crossed my heart
Tuned up the Kay and the Silvertone

Rubbed my hands cross the Tolex scars
Took the laces out of my tennis shoes
Oh I can live with a 60 cycle hum

Mama gimme a nickel and a deck of cards
said go on and play in the back yard
walking down the alley come my uncle lonnie
said lemme teach ya about 3 card monty
take the ace of hearts and two black queens
flip'em over so they can't be seen
spin’ em around four or five times
bet a nickel find the ace and win a dime

I have a crimson dragon tattoo
It burns on my arm like the truth
the red ink is in my skin its on my soul too
I have a crimson dragon tattoo

21 silver dollars is what it cost
Drawn by a fast left hand when I was lost
I did not choose a heart, a rose or a cross

So, I come down from Oklahoma with a pistol in my boot
A pair of dice, a deck of cards, a Bible in my suit
I come her as the 'cause of tears, I'm just a crying shame
Seven stud or eternal blood, I'm lookin' for a game

I double crossed the State of Texas and they give me a little time
I taught myself to double cut the cards and hold scriptures in my mind
I learned to love the tumblin' dice and to believe the word

Tear a lying tongue out by its roots
feed it to the mice round the chicken coup
sister come a running to sound the alarm
there's hell in the hen house and blood in the barn

Now a damn fox does what a damn fox does
sneaking and a stealing and looking for a buzz
and the rooster is a devil with talons and a comb

There's an old soul waitin' to be born
There's a scarecrow standin' in the corn
On of thems wishin' for the light of day
One of them is chasin' all the black crows away

Well I'm standing at the station and I don't know where I am
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam

So here we are now, guitars and drums
High and lowdown just some Dharma bums
Gate mouth would tell you rehearsal's overrated
Baptists will tell you it's all predestinated

Between the devil and God, between the first breath and last
Somewhere under heaven with no future and a hell of a past
We in the mud and scum of things, moaning, crying, lying

I saw this ol' dog he was chasin' this rabbit
I saw a dog a'chasin' this rabbit
I saw this dog he was chasin' this rabbit
It was on Sunday, about noon.

I said to the rabbit, "Are ya gonna make it?"
I said the rabbit, " Ya gonna make it?"
I said to the rabbit, "Are ya gonna make it?"

I got on my cowboy boots, jeans
And Hawaiian shirt, mirrored sunglasses
And a mobile phone
I guess I look like some Port Aransas
Dope dealer that's out on bail
Just trying to get home
Well I ain't in jail and I got me a guitar
Got a little band that's hotter than a rocket
