Beefheart

I woke up singing your verses again

My voice is pitchy but it pays the rent

Sometimes my head is cloudy and something ain't right

And I can't feel nothing so I sleep through the night

I'm dreaming a chorus, the hook is your name

I'm fishing for something or someone to blame

Sometimes I feel a pull or a push on my life

Wake up on ringing but I keep with this rhyme

I don't wanna be anyone else though I'm flawed

But I hope you can't tell I'm not sure

What patience would do for a man like me

The color bruise

I'm just damaged goods

Let you out of the woods

And into the light then

But I'd do it again

And if I could speak true

Beefheart, here's an ode to you

Nothing is honest or naked or true

And I'm searching for something I'm bound to lose

Nothing is perfect or bearing of fruit

And I'm just my own selfish depressive muse

But I don't wanna be anyone else though I'm flawed

But I hope you can't tell I'm not sure

What patience would do for a man like me

The color bruise

I'm just damaged goods

Let you out of the words

And into the light then

But I'd do it again

And if I could speak true

Beefheart, here is an ode to you
