Lyrics
Rumbling Chief went wacko in the meadow killing six of his tribe and lynching all it's honchos
Looked up at the sky in focused premonition
heading out on his way to further expedition
Stumbling into town was Renegade Clovis
With a patch on one eye extremely out of focus
kicking with a cat he's calling "Hocus Pocus"
Stranded on the isle I find myself laughing
If I gave it more thought I'd just end up crackin'
And to think right now could be home 8 trackin'
When Rumbling Chief meets Renegade Clovis
The sky 's gonna drown, we're gonna be hopeless
That's gonna be the case for fools who ignore this
Stranded on the lawn I keep getting stepped on
No room for me to crawl, I pray to get rained on
You think he heard my call the lawn's getting drier
When Rumbling Chief meets Renegade Clovis
I'm packin it up, headin' cross the border
Puttin' up a shack and diggin' deep for cover
