The Rude Mood

Falling rock
2. 'Even god needs someone to pray' (Frankie's talk at the wiskey house)

Frankie’s down at the wiskey house
he’s just broken down keep talk for hours
(he screams) everybody got’s somethin to say
even jesus needs a bed to lay

at nite he talks with his doggy skull
he say they don’want me…well even the hell is full
“everbody wants a place to stay
even god need someone to pray”

just wanna leave this god-damn town
(you know) there’s no way to turn my aching down

i did my time on an endless wine
this one ‘s for the vultures, this one ‘s for my mind
everybody got to face my blues
i just got nothin’…well i got nothin’ to loose

you kown that pale moon’s burning out my eyes
ain’t no tellin’ baby…just want a lift for the sky
everybody got a road to choose
even a dog needs a bottle of booze
 
they left me alone in this life-battle-ground
my mind is lost…just keep floatin’ around

at the stattion frankie’s wain’ for a train
keep sayin’ he did write  ‘love in vain’
everybody got a dream in the nite
every one got his own war to fight

they say his woman is just tumblin down
was his bad day’s fault yo know what i’m talkin about
everybody got a queen someway
even god need a heaven to pray

i’m just spreadin everybody honest disgrace
feel like i can make it alone
better leave me people…i’m just a stadin stone

frankie’s now at the wiskey house
he’s just lost and shut up for hours
everybody went to bed to lay
even jesus got’s nothin to say

nite’s fallen and he ain’t got no clock
time to go man, and watch for falling rock
“everbody wants a place to stay
even god needs a bed to lay”

just wanna leave this god-damn town
(you know) there’s no way to turn my aching down
