Did you forget Hoyt Axton, Snowblind Friend?
You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
Lyin’ on the pavement with a misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
He only had a dollar to live on ’til next Monday
But he spent it on some comfort for his mind
Did you say you think he’s blind?Someone should call his parents, a sister or a brother
And they’ll come to take him back home on a bus
But he’ll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
Yeah he’ll always be another one of us
He said he wanted Heaven but prayin’ was too slow
So he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin’ low?
Flyin’ low
Dyin’ slow -
Must also not forget John Gorka’s Saint Caffeine:
http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/St_Caffeine/21830I’ve seen the light, oh the light I’ve seen
I’ve seen the light of St. Caffeine
Of other drugs I am clean
I pray to you St. CaffeineYes I am a legal fiend
It’s my high in the mean routine
Cola nut or coffee bean
I pray to you St. CaffeineI stayed away as a teen
When hormones filled up my jeans
Ever since my sleep got lean
I took to you St. CaffeineYou help me through the morning
Help me into the afternoon
Being calm is boring
I’d be snoring without youI wear your ring around my cup
I pour you down, I drink you up
When I’m running out of steam
I pray to you St. Caffeine -
Ry Cooder is so under rated, that slide tone is amazing!
