Straight Brother

(专辑： Asylum Choir II - 1971)

Half of your life is gone but you don't worry
They're killing you but you don't even care
They play you just like a game of checkers
King's row Houston business waiting there
Now these nine long years have come between us
Hollywood's not far from San Antone
Why don't you hammer up a leg for General Hersey
Deal out artificial skin and bone

Daddy dropped the ball in the bowling hall
Cause he bet on a loser and he took a fall
Poor mother, oh my sweet darling mother
In the middle-aged Gulf of Texaco
He met him a hot one and you should know my brother
Oh straight brother

Why don't you take another rose to Uncle Hymie
He's got going out of business signs galore
But don't let money change you to a billfold
Cosmic conscious Katie bar the door
Nephew skinned a niece while playing cowboy
Sister-in-law sprayed some Texas heads
Well you might be an artist if you want to
You got to follow bouncing balls in Texas beds

Daddy dropped the ball in the bowling hall
Cause he bet on a loser and he took a fall
Poor mother, oh poor darling mother
In the middle-aged Gulf of Texaco
He met him a hot one and you should know my brother
You should know my straight brother...
