THE DEAD BAR
Its a bar room in an out of town perimeter
But the town has no name_
Because nobody ever bothered to think about
Where they were_
Now I strolled in on an old camel
I'm sure it used to be a tourist camel
Because it went where I didnt want it to go_
Its 2.00pm_Egyptian sun_
Hotter than sexy lips on go juice
I'm as dry as a mouth plaining wood
On an open fire with burns
I walk in the bar_
"Gimme a big one and make it big"
A stare looked at me like
Why did you kill my brother_
I said it again_
"Gimme a big one and I wont get bad"
Well I'm sure these guys didnt give a fuck
About bad or mad
Its all a phrase in their language
And I got what I deserved.
You see you may be dying in an old movie
And if the white story line progresses
Then all is done_
Back to the fort_
Shoot the Indians_
But it dont work like that in the sun
That white blocks to stay in.
Now I said it again_
"Can I please have a drink?"_
no answer_
"Can my camel please have a drink?"_
No answer_
"OK, theres no problem_I understand!
You wont give me a drink
Because you're all dead", I realised
"There is no water"
"Correct", a corpes said_
"There aint been no water for 10 years_
Only cactus"
"I didnt think there was cactus in Egypt!"
"Thats right", the corpes said
"Theres only cactus to those who see it!
We brew it
You drink it"_
"Well give me two cactus
And one for the camel"
"What camel?", he said
"The one outsidein the sad heat", I said in glaze
"There aint no camel", he laughed
And there aint no cactus either"_ha ha!
The words from the corpes catapolted me
To the other side of the bar where
A dead prostitute moaned_
She asked for money
I had none!
"So I aint I aint gotta camel no more_
The waters gone_
There aint no cactus
The prostitute is dead
Are you telling me I dont exist_
Is the right conservative playing?_
Where do I get a hit from?
How do I carry on?"
"Its simple", said the dead barman_
"Dont believe in the bar
Just go ya way
Cause this town aint for you
Thats why it dont exist"_ I agreed with that
And went looking for my camel.
