There's space in my car speed you to heaven
Maybe scorch the black highway, part the waters of the styx.
Mix my mescaline with hairspray (*1), well past caring,
But I'll show you some excitement better clutch crucifix
Goodness, gracious! Great balls of fire! (*2)
Below in the city's stainless streets......
Policeman waves, as a crowd admires, as a mess is covered with a sheet.
Dancing in the street. (*3)
A truck overtakes, and now the truck's overturning
Twisting cartwheels on the concrete, dancing over a ledge.
Shall i make it a duo? Tim's tiny heart a-flutter, pitter-patter,
But I slide up on the gutter, send him sliding through a hedge.
Goodness, gracious! A whop bop a loo bop a whop bam boom! (*4)
Crash crash......
Policeman waves, as a crowd perspires, as a mess is covered with a sheet.
Dancing on the sheet.
Madness in my family since the sixteenth century
And it seeps though my fingers when I'm poised behind the wheel.
Tonight I'm feeling nasty. Some poor bastard's gonna suffer.
Be crying for his mother 'cause my dial is locked on kill.
Goodness, gracious! ....
A hot old time in the old town tonight (*5),
As a mess is covered with a sheet.
Dancing in our shit.
The siren shouts murder, splinters the [sunrays].
A fireman weeps as he picks up a towel.
Still they arrive in their cars and their campers,
Pitching tents, picking hampers, searching quietly for holes.
Goodness, gracious! Good Golly Miss Molly (*6)
You're having a ball!
Lens [picked] and focused on the girl with an ice cream.
Dressed her up in celluloid and sold her to the world.
Made the morning editions. Pulled a face at exhibitions.
Propositioned an uncle who cut off her curls.
Goodness, gracious! Good Golly Miss Molly
You sure look bald!
A policeman waves as a crowd perspires, as a mess is covered with a sheet.
Dancing in our sheets.
Driver, more!
@ (*1) Some alcoholics drink hairspray and Lysol because they contain a high
@ percentage of alcohol but are cheap since they are not subject to the
@ taxes on alcoholic beverages. There is a trick to separating the liquid
@ from the aeresol propellant, but I won't tell it to you. (Don't try
@ this at home!)
