P.j. Harvey - Highway '61 Revisited Lyrics
( bob dylan )Well, God said to abraham kill me a sonAbe said man, you must be putting me onGod said noAbe said wha? tGod said you do what you want to, abe butThe next time you see me coming, youd better runAbe said where do you want this killing done?God said out on that highway 61Well, georgia sam he had a bloody noseWelfare department would give him no clothesHe asked poor howard where can I go?Howard said theres only one place I knowSam said quick man, tell me, I got to runHoward just pointed with his gunHe said that way down on 61well, mack the finger said louie the kingi got 40 red white and blue shoe stringsAnd a thousand telephones that wont ringYou know where I can get rid of these things?And he said now let me think for a minute sonSaid yes that can be easily doneJust take them down on that 61That highwayHighway x4Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth nightTold the first father that things werent rightmy complexion she said is much too whiteHe said come here and stare up into the lightAnd said mmm youre right. let me tell the second mother its been doneBut the second mother with the seventh sonThey were out on that highway 61Now, the roving gambler was very boredTrying to create the next world warAnd he found a promoter, fell on the floorAnd said Ive never engaged in this kind of thing beforeBut yep, I think it can be easily doneHighwaywell just put some bleachers there out in the sunHave it out on that 61
