Palestine Texas
Lyricist:T-bone Burnett
Frank who was swank, robbed a bank With a tank for a prank Sam who was glam, ran a scam From Siam to Vietnam
Dean who was clean, had a scene With the queen for a magazine Joe wasn't slow but didn't know how to blow All the dough from the show
Palestine, Texas, Palestine, Texas
Peter in a two seater for a heater Had a thirty millimeter Shecky worked blue for he knew It was true he would not get his due
Ann knew the plan as she ran from a fan With a man from the Klan Phyllis would thrill us, then grill us Then kill us with bacillus Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Palestine, Texas, Palestine, Texas
Presidents come and presidents go They rise like smoke, they fall like snow Do you believe the things you say? Your lofty thoughts are filled with hay
What is this faith that you profess That led to this colossal mess? When you awaken from this coma You'll find you were in Oklahoma
When you crawl out of this self delusion You're going to need a soul transfusion
This version of the world will not be here long It is already gone, it is already gone This version of the world will not be here long It is already gone, it is already gone
