Crankcase Blues

(album: My Brother The Cow - 1995)

Got that crank shaft sticking
Straight into your center line
When the piston goes down
Your blood is sure to poison your mind

Got a broke down engine
But you're not losing any speed
Going downhill so fast
You're sure to burn, sure to burn
Sure to burn and bleed

Fully cranked weeks at a time
Believing you're some kind of machine she gave you water
When you asked for gasoline

Got a broke down engine
But you're not losing any speed
Going downhill so fast
You're sure to burn, sure to burn
Sure to burn and bleed

Got a mess of problems
That you insist on telling everyone
Too bad, too bad, too bad
Your motor mouth still runs and runs

Got a broke down engine
But you're not losing any speed
Going downhill so fast
You're sure to burn, sure to burn
Sure to burn and bleed
