set in Missouri (Missoura), this song is about living in the same small town and never, ever wanting to see that lover again, but a chance meeting in a local tavern ... for the times when all one can muster is a feeble, "Hey"
Ol Big Ears plays lead guitar, Stoolie, Johnny, and Gerard discuss the finer points of serving liquor to dogs, never did like that dog
lyrics
There's a Missoura rope
That's your necktie,
Hanged when
The telephone rings.
And the old man
Is cookin your breakfast,
Flappin his
Heavily-veined wings.
Dance a rotten old dance for me,
A quarter's good for a twit, yes.
But when that Mr. Grimes, yells, "Quitin time!"
I'm as drunk as ... can I get a witness?
C'mon in for a buck you rubes.
C'mon in for a laugh.
Hang by the bar long enough,
You just might escape her wrath.
"Hey."
"Hey."
My photo's on the wall, dear sir
And I'm forced to eat my past.
I want my revenge served quite cold, young son
As if I should have to ask.
While you're sittin there, twitchin,
Ran your tongue round in your mouth.
Spit out into a porcelain basin
And all your teeth they fell out.
C'mon in from the out of doors,
C'mon in for a laugh.
Don't worry bout your attire, kid.
All customers are riff raff.
"Hey.
"Hey."
Well, you know your twin swallowed a stone
And all this friggin run off.
Gatherin dental instruments
In the back of the hayloft.
Washin all my nights,
Hell ma, you just got to resist it.
O it's true, me,
My reckless we missed it.
