| return to "crazy.." |
I asked my boss why they nailed him to the
cross
Said between him & Barabass it was just
a coin toss
I met him in Chicago he was standing on the
lake
When I walked out on the ice to greet him
he said
there must be some mistake.
We went down to the slums with the cripples
and the bums
He made the deaf men sing and a blind man
run
I said let's go west he said that sounds fun
But I ain't got much time you see I just turned
31
I went to get some gas some bread and fish
and stuff
He said just fill the tank I think that'll
be enough
Well he couldn't drive a stick and I was getting
kind of mad
All he talked about was his overbearing Dad
We drove till we got to Reno he said to stop
the truck
I looked into his eyes just one big mega-buck
He ran up quite a debt playing keno and roulette
When the croupier kissed him on the cheek
and said you've placed your
last bet
I saw him in the bar he looked kind of shook,
he said
I tried to call my Dad but the phone's off
the hook
I heard his hearse got stuck in reverse
It backed all the way to Harrah's Club
you could hear the gamblers curse
He went up to pack his bags, I said I'd wait
around
But he never showed up he must have took the
stairs down
HE WAS JUST AN ORDINARY DOPE
HE WAS JUST AN ORDINARY DOPE
HE WAS JUST AN ORDINARY DOPE....LIKE YOU
