Burnin' Lilly Jones

(Flop/Jenkins)

maddoc's in the swamp
and bongo's in the beer
now BudDy"s standin' dreamin'
'bout what burned last year

the sun is peekin' east
but it is still last night
and rownshend don't cook breakfast
without some firelight

so rownshend hollers "scramblit!"
he's cracking eggs and beer
and ellen's up at Bramlett
while we're all over here....

just burnin' ---lilly---jones
stirrin skulls with bones
burnin' ---lilly---jones
but we're not going home
'cause there's still lilly jones

the van is nearin' pigtown
the clock is nearin' two
I-95 ? He's still alive !!!
that gyro must've flew

now doc has got the combo
and doc has got the key
and just like his grandaddy he's settin' the pigs free

mo he's "screw the mud!"
and mo he's,"fuggit damn!"
'cause it's clear round second gear
old mo's a drivin' man.....

---lilly---jones
stirrin skulls with bones
drivin' ---lilly---jones
but we're not drivin' home
'cause there's still lilly jones

with maddoc's wild abandon and smell of burning flesh
wafting on the pigwind and drifting to the west
where pinky's peaceful cedar is stoked and burning swiss
while all around's the silent sound of fused and matchless bliss

Then steady as a field mouse and down a third or fifth
gyro's dodging moonbeams as carefully he slips

where Moses lay on Mary and then they both laid down
into that bottom earth that Sandy runs around...

Spring fed and trickled down
into the winter's swamp so still
that dampened steps will crisp the leaves
last Autumn thought to kill

miester's toe to toe
and inchin' maddoc's ground
the biclit faces circle now
to have their big showdown

so bongo lights a cluster
and slasher lights a roach
as miester's roman candles
are lighting his approach

then maddoc's hellish visions
rain fire on these three
As vita smiles and looks and says,
" Ahhhhh........see......"

we're near our nod and nearly gone
as our fires turn to dawn
we toast with cans and cups and bones
we toast our lilly jones
our lovely lilly jones

...our burnin' lilly jones
she's stirring skulls and bones
but lilly's not alone
burnin' lilly jones
we're still burnin' lilly jones.
