Hello one and all

Was it you I used to know

Can't you hear me call

On this old ham radio

All I got to say

I'm alive and feeling fine

If you come my way

You can share my poison wine

CHORUS:

No marigolds in the promised land

There's a hole in the ground

Where they used to grow

Any man left on the Rio Grande

Is the king of the world

As far as I know



I don't want your bread

I don't need your helping hand

I can't be no savage

I can't be no highwayman

Show me where you are

You and I will spend this day

Driving in my car

Through the ruins of Santa Fe



CHORUS



I'm reading last year's papers

Although I don't know why

Assassins cons and rapers

Might as well die



If you come around

No more pain and no regrets

Watch the sun go brown

Smoking cobalt cigarettes

There's no need to hide

Taking things the easy way

If I stay inside

I might live til Saturday



CHORUS
