T Bone Burnett - Palestine Texas lyrics
Your rating:
Frank who was swank robbed a bank with a tank for a prank Sam who was glam ran a scam from Siam to Viet Nam Dean who was clean had a scene with the queen for a magazine Joe wasn't slow but didn't know how to blow all the dough from the show Palestine Texas Palestine Texas Peter in a two-seater for a heater had a thirty millimeter Shecky worked blue for he knew it was true he would not get his due Ann knew the plan as she ran from a fan with a man from the Klan Phyllis would thrill us then grill us then kill us with bacillus Palestine Texas Palestine Texas Presidents come and presidents go They rise like smoke they fall like snow Do you believe the things you say Your lofty thoughts are filled with hay What is this faith that you profess That led to this colossal mess When you awaken from this coma You'll find you were in Oklahoma When you crawl out of this self delusion You're going to need a soul transfusion This version of the world will not be here long It is already gone It is already gone This version of the world will not be here long It is already gone It is already gone
