Jimi's got a red guitar, Gurley's got a hot car,
Pearl has got a train line, running down her main line vain.
Don't need no ticket cos she's took the trip so many times before.
The whole world's gone mad. Who can tell the difference
Between up down, good bad, left right, outa sight?
Folks who never had opinions all of a sudden got a story each to tell.
Golden Gates are open wide, waiting for the flood tide.
Tip your hat. Pay respect. Kennedy is long dead.
Remembrance has been forgotten. Poppies growing for another day.
Everybody's on the right looking to the left
Excepting Pearl who's in the middle.
Doesn't care too much for anything.
As long as she can make it to the edge,
As if she hasn't lived her life there anyway.
You come inside me. I got cross bolts shooting through my brain.
You come inside me. My heart is beating like a Navaho drum.
You come inside me. Your lightning flashes and my vision's going dim.
You come inside me. Your thunder cracks and I can't hear another thing.
You come inside me.
Condescending new views. No wonder niggers got the blues.
Second class citizens for over two hundred years.
If there's another life I wonder which they'd choose if they were dealt another hand.
Flower Power lost the war, but still the hippies fighting on.
You'd think they'd learn by now that dying's just a way of life.
It must be something in the herbal cigarettes that they can't understand.
You come inside me. I got cross bolts shooting through my brain.
You come inside me. My heart is beating like a Navaho drum.
You come inside me. Your lightning flashes and my vision's going dim.
You come inside me. Your thunder cracks and I can't hear another thing.
You come inside me.
I was digging sweet lucy on a train going west
When the headline caught my eye that Jesus always takes the best.
Pearl was found stone dead on a motel room floor.
She was lying half naked at the foot of the bed.
No stub or reservation for the eternal couchette.
Please don't tell mama that her baby won't ever ever ever ever cry no more.
You come inside me. I got cross bolts shooting through my brain.
You come inside me. My heart is beating like a Navaho drum.
You come inside me. Your lightning flashes and my vision's going dim.
You come inside me.
Your thunder cracks and I can't hear another thing.
You come inside me.
