(O Brother, Where Art Thou?)

Post by stilltrucking » July 11th, 2005, 12:47 pm

O Death
Ralph Stanley


O, Death
O, Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
Whoa, death someone would pray
Could you wait to call me another day
The children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet til you cant walk
I'll lock your jaw til you cant talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very air, come and go with me
I'm death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up the flesh off of the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
O, Death
O, Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
My mother came to my bed
Placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm my feet are cold
Death is a-movin upon my soul
Oh, death how you're treatin' me
You've close my eyes so I can't see
Well you're hurtin' my body
You make me cold
You run my life right outta my soul
Oh death please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand
Oh the young, the rich or poor
Hunger like me you know
No wealth, no ruin, no silver no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
O, death
O, death
Wont you spare me over til another year
Wont you spare me over til another year
Wont you spare me over til another year

"Let's all worship Aphrodite
I know she's kind of flighty
She doesn't wear a nighty" paraphrase of Joseph Campbell in THe Power Of Myth

medications cost money
I get them free
with a three dollar knife

old time meditation
change of gears
shifting down
twenty five miles of seven percent grade
down into the valley
where I shall fear no evil.

right livihood worded itself out, not so easy money anymore, sold my last drop of snake oil consumer holy oil of the immaculate conception of info mercials. But I will miss the old hip ones in their eighth or ninth decade and they still knew where their towells was. They always made the right decisions, hardly ever had to help them, got so good with customer service they did want want me to do it anymore. New gig, profitable, motor cycle dreams and mediacare prescription coverage coming soon.

You would have had to have read The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galazy to get the towell thingy. Anglophile that I am I always think they are funnier then they really are. Everytime I hear someone speak of Carbon Based Life Forms I think of DNA
Douglas N. Adams


meanwhile silicon voices, silicon is just a heart beat away from carbon on the periodic charts, they are so interesting, a fly in the ointment yes, when I do not pay my union dues to my mammalian nature, hot blooded that we are. "Awake in the arms of a nightmare knowing well that your best days are gone" Old Waylon song on the miseries of old cowboys.

I never took out a withdrawl card, so I am way in arrears on my dues, I may be asked to leave the Class Mammalia at any time, got a long way to go, time enough for love, maybe

I wish I could remember where someone spotted a tense error, think it was on a marksmann45 string


see you later
edited three times for typo's, you would think I would learn to proofread more carefully before posting instead of trying to make changes in panic
just spotted stoopid tense error but I for got where.

solipsized silicon women
slippery silicon sisters
a fly in my oinment

a truth to a lie
a breath of fresh air
shattered bell jar

a ten dollar diamond
a mind like a steel trap
a flat faced bitch
