Sold everything, turned it to dust
Guitars, blood stained strings, my heart went bust
I threw those gutter balls, lying on my back
Kept drawing shorter straws, 'til it all went black
I dreamed I heard somebody singing
(In the outhouse)
I dreamed I saw somebody swimming
(To the outhouse)
I dreamed I heard somebody humming
(In the outhouse)
I dreamed I saw somebody running
(To the outhouse)
Burned everything, turned it to rocks
Bars, broken wings, my clocks all stopped
I put my hands together, I was on my knees
I swore I saw the light, coming through the trees
I dreamed I heard somebody singing
(In the outhouse)
I dreamed I saw somebody swimming
(To the outhouse)
I dreamed I heard somebody humming
(In the outhouse)
I dreamed I saw somebody running
(To the outhouse)
I dreamed I stepped over a log
And there was fire in my foot
I dreamed I saw a turkey and two wildcats
Jumped on me at the same time
I dreamed Jimmy was pouring ice water
Over my head at noon
I dreamed I heard somebody
Singing in the outhouse
I dreamed the mad dog bit the Gypsy
And they tied him to a tree
I dreamed I was buried in the Indian mound
And moon lake rose up
I dreamed my father was wading the river of death
With his heart in his hand
I dreamed Jimmy rowed out the front door
With a hawk on his shoulder
And I was in the bow kneeling down
I dreamed the blacksnake rode the guitar
Down the river
I dreamed the clouds went by
The moon like dead fish
['The Singing Knives', Frank Stanford]

Lucky Dice

My lucky dice have rolled their last
The ice cream vans they drive on past me
In the park I sit beneath the trees
My royal flush was down the toilet
My rabbits foot I had to boil it
In the dark he listens to me breathe
There's no justice in the world but there is magic, my dear
All your potions and your pills are just bad habits, my dear
I had nine lives but true to form
I used them all up before
I found myself far adrift at sea
My black cats just sleep all day
They scamper and they slip away
Like they heard a bark from deep inside of me
There's no justice in the world but there is magic, my dear
All your potions and your pills are just bad habits, my dear
