"DH"

 

He awoke

It was sunny

The night soak

Drank his whiskey

Got the joke

Said, "this is funny"

Why ain't I bleeding

In the dust of Evasion City

 

Doc Holliday do not grow

Doc Holliday do not die

Drive each moment to weariness

Yaksma I am your friend

I will follow you to the end

To the cave of the hunchbacks

They'll play their flutes

And we can dance

 

To do some slinging and dealing

There goes Big Nose Kate

In John Shaughnessy's Saloon

She's the rocky one for you

She'll save you from the hangman

And call the ravens down

To feed on the flesh of the slain

Under your heels

 

Outcast from the green forest

Loudly your hair turns white

Lax into the bloodland

Riding the griffin

Without rhythm bones

Doc Holliday, where did your mama go

She can hear you coughing up

The good king's blood

On heaven's mirrors

 

Reflecting the hat people

With golden pitiful eyes

In the shaking hut

Their angry screams

Healing...

And we can dance

In the name of the ground

 

To do some slinging and dealing

There goes Big Nose Kate

In John Shaughnessy's Saloon

She's the rocky one for you

She'll save you from the hangman

And call the ravens down

To feed on the flesh of the slain

Under your heels

 

Doc Holliday do not grow

Doc Holliday do not die

Drive each moment to weariness

Yaksma I am your friend

I will follow you to the end

To the cave of the hunchbacks

They'll play their flutes

And we can dance

In the name of the ground

I do magic
