The crew of spiritualities & I float along on the make-believe tug-boat...

Blun-
der-
in'
alonnnnnnng ~
Rootin'
tootin'
my
sonnnnnnng ~
Snug
as
a
bug in a rug ~
In
my
Popeye
tug ~
In the midst
of
a misty
purple cloud ~
Dropping lightning bolts
that
crack
bright n' loud ~
Over Indian homes and
mil-
i-
tary bases ~
Over
vast
empty
spaces ~
With-
out
any
treeeeeees ~
But what about
spirit-
u-
alities?
I'm just
a
bone
head ~
Yeap, that's just
what
I
said ~
With a bell
in
my
head ~
That's gonna
keep on
ringing until
the day I'm dead...
Footprint 67
Be
it
known
that ~
While
lounge-
ing
at ~
Ye
olde
mis-
sion ~
I was not
completely
out
of commission ~
For I found
me
a
job on the cob ~
Wanna-Be Me
become a part-time
low-wage
corn on the job ~
Day
af-
ter
day ~
About
two
miles
away ~
That's how I moved out
n' payed rent
fer this beat-up
little old ship ~
That
has
managed
to shlip ~
Me
up
and
away ~
Into a higher
realm
of peace & comfort
today ~
The Peace & Comfort
of Re-
al-
iteeeeeee ~
It's reflected in all
this in-
fin-
iteeeeeee ~
Here in the deepening
Desert of
E-
terniteeeeeee...

Well well, loooooook
who is
grin-
ing today ~
No matter how bad
I feel
this grin will
not go away ~
After all, skulls
are
like
that ~
And that
is all
I got
under my hat ~
A skull
a bell
and
a lot of air ~
And a grin I can't
get rid
of
I swearrrrrrr...
Footprint 69
There
it
is ~
the purple plateau ~
Oh no
oh no
oh no
oh nooooooo!
I must get by
Her
in order to
spiritually grow ~
Shouldn't be too hard
seeing as
I'm just skull n'
bone, you knowwwwwww ~
But the juices in
my soul
are
still alive ~
Those furious juices
demanding
me
to dive ~
Between thee
inviting
legs
of a woman ~
A
beautiful
beautiful
skull n' bones woman!
Ah, to clickity clack
n' crack
our bones together
into the night ~
A supreme
de-
light
!
Footprint 70
Anyway, there's
the
Purple
Plateau ~
Right outside
the
pilot house
window ~
And here she
comes
flying
oh so lowwwwwww ~
In
the
violet n' turqoise
twilight glowwwwwww ~
The ghostly
goddess of
my
single man's life ~
She who has taken
the place of
a
God fearing wife ~
It's
a
show-
down, folks ~
Above
this
Deep Desert
ground, dear folks...
