In the half light back of my neck I could dig this buzz
I ought to thrill to the sheik of shake and the king of scuzz
There's a lure in the ratchet chair and the speedfreaks goo
All I ever wanted was to taste it too

There's a call in an alien tongue and it wants my time
Not enough to pretend I care, I got to show that I'm
Really into your incredible trip and drugstop juice
All I ever needed was a good excuse

Hold tight cause I'm doing all right
For a Barrow Hill boy with a sunburst cloud
And by the grace of god and the shadows of man
I got a ten week tour but I don't want it
I'm here after all of these years
With a State Side deal stuck between my ears
I won't look so clever if it disappears
It's a wonderful thing, but I can't feel it
No...

I was born with a fortunate streak and it pays my rent
I go to sleep to the moribund sounds of the tapes you sent
And if anyone tells you that it all comes free
Don't pay no attention til you talk to me

Hold tight cause I'm doing all right
For a Barrow Hill boy with a sunburst cloud
And by the grace of god and the shadows of man
I got a ten week tour but I don't want it
I'm here after all of these years
With a State Side deal stuck between my ears
I won't look so clever if it disappears
It's a wonderful thing, but I can't feel it
No...
