On a Lost Highway 03:19

On a Lost Highway I was on the lost highway scorching winds blew hard Had to scream to King Lear get my calling card But then Meddling kids unmasked me, all cry yay I am one more solved case here on the lost highway I was on the lost highway the desert was brown I am ten miles outside an almost ghostly town I will do their jobs and leave ‘fore they steal my pay We know abuse is on the house on the lost highway I was on the lost highway there’s a grapefruit moon. So I had to quit my smoking it was too soon. And now Elvis forgets the lyrics when he sings My Way So I crank up Hank, Sr., singing lost highway Let’s get lost I was on the lost highway and the windshield broke There is dust all around I start to cough and choke So I drained a stale daiquiri and toasted Friday It wasn’t, but who would care on a lost highway I was on the lost Highway the sands were bright red And I stopped to count the folks who thought us dead Well now Clowns and CPAs want to be in my play We got parts for all who are here on the lost highway I was on the lost Highway and you were there too I could see in your eyes you didn’t know what to do Were we banished was it chance as some might say To trudge in pre-judgement on a lost Highway

Velma, Velma, are you ever sick of Shaggy Finding those clues in your sweater orange and baggy Velma, Velma, as a pre-teen I first saw you And you looked good, why did they change how they draw you I’d like to say hey, I would like to meet I got out my phone so ready to tell ya Phil’s been saying no, it’s a song, not a tweet Just as well, ‘cause you’re not real, Velma, Velma Velma, Velma, you’re a champ at exposition You’d unmask me as in a hopeless condition Velma, Velma, facing false ghosts with a hippie Underrated you were so smart never snippy I’d like to say hey, I would like to meet I got out my phone so ready to tell ya Phil’s been saying no, it’s a song, not a tweet Just as well, ‘cause you’re not real, Velma, Velma Some say Daphne’s the babe, she’s a poser to me I don’t care ‘bout her, not one bit, not even ironically Velma Velma are those dogs talking now that’s scary Swindlers, stoners, preppies, ditch ‘em in the Library I’d like to say hey, I would like to meet I got out my phone so ready to tell ya Phil’s been saying no, it’s a song, not a tweet Just as well, ‘cause you’re not real, Velma, Velma Just as well, ‘cause you’re not real, Velma, Velma Just as well, ‘cause you’re not real, Velma, Velma Thank you very much
