After I
so
logically
done spoke ~
My demon dame
reaches deep
into her
purple cloud cloak ~
Pulls out a
beef
hot
link ~
'N before I can
speak
or
think ~
She tosses this
meat
into
my skeleton hand ~
Coolly says, "Tie on
this
and do it
like a man..."

Diamondy
deserty
stars
appear one by one ~
'Til they're flashing
n' splashing
all around muh' old tug n'
having oh so much fun ~
Twinkling and
twinkling and
twinkling
some mo' ~
As I kindly n' gently
bugger
this wildly wanton
pearly boned ho'...

The
follow-
ing
dawn ~
Yeeeeeeep,
She
is
gone ~
Capt'n Beef Hot Link
forever grins
and steers
ye olde boat ~
Keeps
it
a-
float ~
'Tween two jagged
pillars
of
rock ~
With one minute
to one
still
stuck on the clock ~
The
tug
tugs
along ~
As the skull n' bones
Capt'n
pens
this here endless song ~
Un-
able
to
bribe ~
Thee Holy Spirit
to help
him
describe ~
This vast n' empty
des-
o-
late land ~
Nothin' but
sky
nothin'
but sand ~
Scrub
here
n'
thare ~
A cactus plant man's
hand
it's
stuck in 'de air ~
Eternally
of
course
waving hello ~
Down
'dare
be-
lowwwwwww ~
Oops
plicker
smick
smack!
I beg thee
Ageless Arteeeeeeest,
please, pull
up some slack ~
"My tug!
My ship!"
it's crashing into
a cliff ~
The rock splits
like cardboard
that's
jus' kinda stiff ~
What?
that's
right ~
the cliff ~
It's like painted
card-
board
that's jus' kinda stiff!
One
lonely
tug
breaks thru ~
Outta a deep shade
of purple
into
old friendly blue ~
Yeeeeeeeap, one
haunted
tug
breaks thru ~
Turns out we're still
stuck in the sand of
la Mexican trailer park
like not much is new ~
Whew!
Footprint 79
I got
a
body
again ~
And
a
face
with skin ~
And the clock
is purring
a-
way ~
And it's just
a-
noth-
er day ~
Alleluhia!
no
mo'
purple haze ~
Alleluhia!
no
mo'
skeleton phaze ~
God almighty!
I'm
no longer just
skull n' bone ~
It's like I've escaped
the
Twilight
Zone...
Footprint 80
Now that I'm back
home
sweet
lovely home ~
I no longer
want
to be
alone ~
Dig into
the pocket
of
my jeans ~
Where
I find
the
means ~
To visit
the
local
saloon...
