Lyrics

Green Bowl
(from the cd ?Little Coma? released in 2004)

some people have a knack of getting what they need,
others are the giving tree everyone wants to bleed
now I?m standing in the line collecting my u.i.
factories have closed, trucks rolling down the road
they wave bye on bye on bye
and I said ?oh hell Mary where?d you put my pipe??
the green bowl of laughter I use to smoke in the night,
walking out on the fields of glory, moon moved closer, told my story
I want to get down on down on down.

And I should have studied harder, should have put down the pen,
All this poetry and writings left me little in the end
Working for the man doing all I can
I?m selling his wears and I?m mending all his tears
And he waves bye on bye on bye
and I said ?oh hell Mary where?d you put my pipe??
the green bowl of laughter I use to smoke in the night,
walking out on the fields of glory, moon moved closer, told my story
I want to get down on down on down.

It?s not like it used to be, get a job at nineteen
Work your way to the top,
until you?re too old and they fill your spot
they got millions just like me
early twenties, late thirty
you?re going to need a PHD just to sell a man a tv
oh wee .. oh wee.. oh..wee
And he waves bye on bye on bye
and I said ?oh hell Mary where?d you put my pipe??
the green bowl of laughter I use to smoke in the night,
walking out on the fields of glory, moon moved closer, told my story
I want to get down on down on down.
