“cemetery blues” (lyrics)

PART 1:

i’ve got them ‘cemetery blues’…
i ain’t quite cut out for this ‘cemetery life’…
all decked out in my sedentary shoes…
still carving my slice of paradise…

(but prepared to lose)
(htough i’ve been feelin’ alright…)

(into ‘joe cocker’ / ‘traffic’ jam)

(*get ready*)

the drugs don’t ‘do it’ for me no more…
PEER PRESSURE
(much more pressure than before…)

pile it on…

(settle my scores with the carve of a well-sharpened knife…

(intp “midnight special”)

(into traffic’s “low spark of high-heeled boys”)

REFRAIN 1:

“sad state of affairs”

the ‘airport cops’ are coming!
(they really don’t mean much)

the ‘campus cops’ are coming!
(they really don’t mean much)

the ‘rent-a-cops’ are coming!
(they really don’t mean much)

the ‘robo-cops’ are coming!
(they really don’t mean much)

(“blown a holy load…”)

“drugs don’t do it for me no more…”
(into “maniac magee”)

(“same as i was before…”)
(“don’t get surprised no more…”)
(“then i think i’d be surprised…”)
(short shrift’…)
(“bare midriff”)
(stop me mid-riff)
MILDRED!  CHILDREN!

“…”and i do what i please!”)
(‘king of pop’)
(then i do what i ;ike!

the highway cops are speeding up
i just kick up the ‘clutch’…

(“with my “doubled-down overdrive…”)

they’re longing for your touch…

i got them cemetary blues…boy…
you know dem cemetary blues….boy?…
(hamburger!)

got dem quarter century blues
got dem pennies in my eyes…

(…and i don’t got time to spare…)
(…we’ve been ‘through this’ before…)
(‘proving me wrong…_)

TITLE: “PROVE ME WRONG
SHW ME STATE
in the land of clickbait reference bab o riley

got them quarter century blues…
and there sure ain’t no disguise…

(into “21st century schizoid man”)
(“king crimson”)
(1969)
