Felt like I've been wondering around Don't think I'm lost but that sure ain't found Nobody seems to notice me Set myself on pause as I look around Saw in the far-off distance City of Gold and I said to myself that must be where I'm bound
Bought me a big brown bag of broken down chips From a one-armed Soldier with a toy 45 hanging from his hips Give me a 16 ounce bottle to catch the water that drips From the stalactite that grew From his left fingertips And I heard him yell hoarsly as I went on my way.... best be sure that you take small sips
Along.the steep winding trail where I made my way To a purple-flowered valley where I found a 57 Chevy made all out of clay And a broken pair of mannequins making love in the backseat who said be on your way And I would have moved even faster if not for the locked gate and the half bald parrot that blocked and squawked I need $0.86 exact change ...zact change. . zact change. If you don't have the jack a loan we can arrange I gave you three quarters a penny and a dime Then he looked at me like I committed a crime
ZACT CHANGE ...ZACT CHANGE he squawked to the pushy mannequin in the car Shrugged his shoulder and said well there yarrr You made the deal he had the freight So now you little **** squawker you need to open the gate
Let the man through to be on his way Then he yelled at my back don't be a stranger stop in next time you be this way Just make sure it's not the third Monday in the month of May That's when we go down to Marshmallow Creek for some fresh clay
And I heard em all start giggling as I made my way around the corner Where I ran into a picnic table and there sat a silver lighter and I multi colored **** Just beyond was a fat oily little dump of a man Perched on one end the silver teeter totter And a purple eyed blonde Angel sitting on the other end he said how you do I'm bud this is my daughter And you can share that bowl with us you got the price or some water Now I know why the soldiers said I'd be best to take small sips I handed the bottle to the shimmering blonde Angel Who said so sweetly in a voice that suddenly dropped 6 octaves
"Hey buddy what gives!!" Slowly I begin to realize where I really was The guy on the other side of the counter sayin "Are you alright cous?" "I told you to take it easy - greasy We call this blonde white angel " He pointed to purple and green bud on the end of the scale "This is the best you will find for sale Anywhere in the city of Golden Maybe in all of Colorado"
So I got me a five gram bag Went outside for fresh air and to sit at the picnic table Where I mellowed out while I drank the rest of my bottle of Teeters Water......Wooow!!
