Spidey's Wild Ride (Waits/Brennan 2006)
The smoke from the battle fish And the rain soaked through And the wheelman left the shore And barns tumbled and the silos flew across fifteen miles bad road tar And Big Bull Trometer hung on to the side And the pig dogs trembled on Spidey's wild ride The pig dogs trembled on Spidey's wild ride And big John Jizom from downtown Chizom Flew away with old Mrs Storm And they found Bird Lundy neath a keg of nails Crooked as a dog's hind leg keeping warm And twenty-nine days on a hard assed bread he drilled to the big outside And clung like a tick to his waterfront life Mooned and clouded, blued and skied The clocks blew up on Spidey's wild ride Spidey's wild ride, Spidey's wild ride The hills stood up in a great big three Whipped by the forces that were inside me Loud as the ocean, cold as a desk, red as the water on the river of flesh Sewing up his pants while he was shoeing a mule And bucking a head wind gale The crooked ass beauty was trapped to the side And shook on Spidey's wild ride Statue ass makers and the uprooted trees And I shouted way up to where the rabbit digs his hole And the wheelman, the jockeys and the landlords and thee Were bucking a head wind south And with nine lives spent, he landed on his rent Composed with a steele head salmon in his mouth And I never did see another day outside I had enough travel on Spidey's wild ride I never did see another day outside I had enough travel on Spidey's wild ride
