ChemoJam Baxter – Caravan Lyrics
Lyrics
Hook x2
- Kicked out the caravan, somewhere left of everywhere
- Someone told me all my dead relatives were buried there
- You will never see me ever sitting still in any chair
- Running round the desert picking thorns from my derriere
Verse 1
- Midnight, sand dunes, space flight, trashed rooms
- Frog spawn, jack moves, silk tongue, rat suits
- All of the above have played a part in my awakening
- And peppered every dream inside this severed head I'm cradling
- I left after dark, sped past the guards, handed em a shovel yellin' "X marks the path"
- One too many nights at a chess-masters yard
- Where a jeweler and a thief split the rent half and half
- Read between the stretch marks and scars little wench
- Them two names within a heart carved in a bench aren't ours
- I said it with impeccable mystique as I hot-wired a 747 with my teeth
- Last week the memories are patchy the word is I left a bleeding segment of myself in every taxi
- And crawled out the last as a disembodied fist
- Still swinging, still missing, still pissed
- It was like this..
Hook x2
- Kicked out the caravan, somewhere left of everywhere
- Someone told me all my dead relatives were buried there
- You will never see me ever sitting still in any chair
- Running round the desert picking thorns from my derriere
Verse 2
- I found a creepy little leaflet in a thick greasy mess
- It said how to skip town in just 6 easy steps
- Roll a zoot, spark it
- Run screaming like a harlot with a bright red target on your chest
- Then just head west, dodge bullets like a G
- While the maggots from your back, back-flip into the sea
- I ripped it into bits, sounds gash, poured a shot and stood back
- To watch the world burn, surveying the debris
- Damn, what a huge fuckin' mess, the crews unimpressed
- There's bare screaming kids and just a few muzzles left
- I was running on a full tank of booze blood and sweat
- They were broom covered goons with a few butters skets
- So strap a new saddle to this old swollen pig
- And I'll show you what a cold shoulder is in 5 seconds
- Bought em all a chrysalis and crawled aboard a missile ship and taught em all
- To never talk shit in my presence
Hook x2
- Kicked out the caravan, somewhere left of everywhere
- Someone told me all my dead relatives were buried there
- You will never see me ever sitting still in any chair
- Running round the desert picking thorns from my derriere
Verse 3
- Smash and grab, pack a bag, boot
- I'll be halfway to Paris, sat strapping that zoot
- By the time you finished asking that question
- You can have this chat with your reflection
- Smash and grab, pack a bag, boot
- I'll be dead in Calcutta in a tattered black suit
- By the time you finished asking that question
- You can have this chat with your reflection
