⬅ Paddy Wagon Turban

---

[Verse 1]
Aliester Crowley in the county jail
Play a quick game of pick'em up sticks
Got dead fishes in a wooden pail
Old man escaped while playing sick
Jump full speed on a grey hound bus
Said to one-eyed Jack "I'm ready to roll"
Said to the driver "Baby, what's the fuss?"
She said "Ah, baby, you ain't on parole"

[Chorus]
And I ain't taking you to no promise land
Your patty wagon turban is just more than meets the eye
And I ain't taken you to no candy land
So waltz your way right back
'Cause you ain't wanted in the sky

[Verse 2]
Chained and shackled on Berthed's mount
With a penny in his eye and a sock in his mouth
They cut off all his fingers so he couldn't count
The rest of wee days 'til he got out
Screaming armageddon in a raw hide stink
While the goons scream and coo from a pick'em up truck
It's a shotgun wedding and you got time to think
Of where you'll be heading and I wish you luck

[Chorus]
But I tell you it ain't no promise land
Your patty wagon turban is just more than meets the eye
And I ain't taken you to no candy land
So waltz your way right back
'Cause you ain't wanted in the sky

[Verse 3]
So went the prophet when the lights go out
The goons done stole the pennies from his eyes
He's got no urge to scream or shout
And the wind wails trouble under darkened skies
Little girl going home on a grey hound bus
says "One-eyed Jack, ain't you got no home?"
He says "No dear, but it ain't no fuss
There's a worse place to be than all alone"

[Chorus]
And I tell you, I think it's a promise land
Your patty wagon turban is just more than meets the eye
And you ain't quite ready for the candy land
So waltz your way right back
'Cause you ain't wanted in the sky

I tell you, I really think it
We ain't got the time, no-no
I tell you, I really think it
So waltz your way right back
'Cause you ain't wanted in the sky
