Texcaliber

Texcaliber’s my name but I ain’t no sword,
I ain’t no king – no! lordie lord,
My vice is an emperor, but he’s just bored.
I’m just a bit dull – oh lordie lord.
In ain’t really christmas, not on corporate time
Gallons by the fiver – serious ho-ho-ho!
No greed in the lead, no blind from behind
Cries from the back yard – there she blows – there she blows.
Don’t do no damage – just some sit’n spin,
Always got the bagmen take it on the chin.
“We’ll just tell’um”, can you smell’um,
Not from Denmark these!
Its our business cause we say so,
“Pass the black gold please!”
Can you see it? can you see it?
When they trickle dry.
Water by the dollar
can you reach the sky!
Air to spare, maybe french eclairs!
We’ll chug it till we plug it full of wild eyed stares.
Heaven maybe save me from the revered Please,
All of us are waitin’ for the four-fold squeeze.
On the wagon – just some taggin’
Paintin’ walls with guns.
Just need’um bigger – badder,
Maybe just some tons.
Maybe mushrooms, maybe mushrooms,
They’re way over there.
Big World – Small Mind,
Ain’t all the same air.
Texcaliber’s my name but I ain’t no sword,
I ain’t no king – no! lordie lord,
My vice is an emperor, but he’s just bored.
I’m just a bit dull? – oh lordie lord!
