Cannibal Chicken

Along the wild Texas border, was no law and order
When Reno brought me to this land
He was after the wild ones, the mustangs, the shy ones
And hoping that I'd understand

Cannibal Chicken

Can you take me to the store, then the bank?
I've got five dollars we can put in the tank
I've got a court date coming this June
I'll be driving soon

Cannibal Chicken

Hey, hey, baby
You got to watch the street, keep your feet
And be on guard
Make it pay baby
It's only time on the boulevard

Cannibal Chicken

I look for you and I know you're out there
In this mind we breathe the same air
Lonely roads and freight trains will keep us sane

And you're out there doing what you would die for
Believing till there's no turning back

Cannibal Chicken

I'd be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song
You'd have to wait but you could hear it
on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music
on a AM radio
I can still hear Mama say Boy turn that radio down!

Cannibal Chicken

Cruise the strip, gotta look real cool
Turn up the bass, act like a fool
Bad rap on the stereo
Act so tough, put on a show

Cannibal Chicken

We'd jump into the car and go down to the race that night
He'd tell me what each driver was doing wrong and what each one did right
He could always pick the winner before they ever took a curve
#3 might have the car but 43 has got the nerve

Cannibal Chicken

Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe!

Cannibal Chicken

I hope that someday, buddy we'll have peace in our lives Together or apart, alone or with our wives We can stop our whoring and pull the smiles inside And light it up forever and never go to sleep My best unbeaten brother, this isn't all I see I know, I see a darkness I know, I see a darkness I kno...

Cannibal Chicken

The whole place is dark
Every light on this side of the town
Suddenly it all went down
Now we'll all be brothers of the fossil fire of the sun
Now we'll all be sisters of the fossil blood of the moon
Someone must have set us up

Cannibal Chicken

You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah,
you've got a friend.

Cannibal Chicken

Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield! What shall we say, shall we call it by a name? As well to count the angels dancing on a pin. Water bright as the sky from which it came, And the name is on the earth that takes it in. We will not speak but stand inside the rain, And listen to the thunder sho...

Cannibal Chicken

But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide

Cannibal Chicken

What goes wrong
You're causin' it

Cannibal Chicken

She had breakfast with me
Met him at three
By suppertime she was gone
To take my Ann took a hell of a man
But it sure didn't take him too long
