Ousin to cousin and hand to hand
Pulled his piece from out the can
Took him off to show the cliff
Sailed him off and made his riff

As he lie there, seconds wait
Flippin’ through his only fate
Face that showed itself before
Was the cousin who wasn’t a cousin no more

Purging the soul one drop at a time
Sippin’ on vintage T-bird wine
Pull the cat from out the grave
Strung it up and watched it sway

As he stand without a twitch
Pondering the depth of that genius ditch
I am a person to no people at all
Said the voice of a man who was just three feet tall

Felon to felon and man to man
Desert’s crude has dried again
Took a dime for a next request
Lit a match, he did his best

As you watch his dream oil burn
Tension took a different turn
Boss’s daughter passin’ by
Into the flames went the sweet Lorelei
That’s what my daddy does
That’s what my daddy does
But what about me?
When it brings those heads over tea

That’s what my daddy does
That’s what my daddy does
But what about me?
What about me?
What about me?

Cousin to cousin and hand to hand
Hoe the tragic desert sand
Packed their looms and did set sail
And this is the end of this ghastly tale
