I know these blues are gonna rub me raw
Every single cure seems to be against the law
Went and told my psychic
I said "Keep it to yourself.
I don't wanna hear it and don't be telling no one else."
Word's out on the street
Whispers in the night
They come out of the woodwork, wanna see what it's like
Pickle-ickle-ickle
Gonna run that voodoo down
How the crowd gets fickle when your face is to the ground!
Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw
Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw
Now I'm shaking all over
I'm a shattering mass
But I'm gonna sit up straight
I'm going to take it with class
Old man used to tell me
"Son, never look back,
Move on to the next case.
Fold your clothes and pack."
To the green horned chicken hoppers I say
"Get yourself a trade,
Or go hack to the chat room and fade in the shade"
Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw
Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw
I know these blues are gonna rub me raw
Every single cure seems to be against the law
I was walking pretty well then I fell into a hole
I should climb out quick, but I hate doing what I'm told
Got a wang-dang-doodle wrapped in bog snake hide
This goat head gumbo is keeping me alive
I don't want your pity or your fifty-dollar words
I don't share your need to discuss the absurd
Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw
Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw
Warren Zevon (1947-2003) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and pianist known for his acerbic wit and darkly humorous songs. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Zevon spent his childhood in California where he began playing music at age 15. After working as a session musician for artists like Linda Ronstadt and The Everly Brothers, Zevon made his solo debut in 1976 with the album "Warren Zevon". His music often explored dark and ironic themes, blending rock, folk, and country influences. Some of his most famous songs include "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money", and "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner". Zevon collaborated with numerous prominent artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, and Jackson Browne. His music was influenced by a diverse range of sources, including Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and The Beatles. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2002, Zevon died the following year at age 56. Despite his short career, Zevon left an indelible mark on American rock music.
