Ray Wylie Hubbard - New years eve at the gates of hell

^D It's New Year's Eve at the gates of hell Give the ^DAntichrist a cigarette and tell him The ^Dboys are here all the way from Oklahoma ^D Oh Lord, what the hell is that aroma? ^C It's Jimmy Perkins and the ^Gother sons-of-bitches Who ^Dripped off musicians and they stole their riches They're ^Dburning over yonder with the Fox News whores And, ^D oh look, is that the singer for The Doors? ^DNope, my mistake 'cause no matter what they did Poets des^Derve to be in heaven; and by the way, kid ^CWhy am I here when I ^Gwasn't that bad? I just ^Ddidn't like churches but I never wore plaid

Now I ^Dknow I'm funky and strip bar dirty And I ^Dlike a Les Paul through a Vox AC30 ^D There's something 'bout a lipstick pickup ^DPlugged right into a Blond Tremolux I ^Cguess I deserve to be ^Gburned alive Since I ^Dpawned my '59 ES 335 And ^Dsure I drank a lot of gin and tonic But I ^Dnever threw away my Panasonic I ^Dkept that turntable through my divorce ^DPlaying Neil Young and Crazy Horse Drunk ^Cout of my mind singing "^GTonight's The Night" It was as l^Dethal on vinyl as China White

Now ^Dmaybe one time I used an Ouija board And I ^Dnever learned to make a B-flat chord ^DSo I got a double-headed snake tattoo I ^Dlove Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu The ^Caction and the motion of a ^Groulette wheel And a ^Dwoman walking away in a pair of high heels Now ^Donce I drew to an inside straight flush And I ^Dwished I could sing like Otis Rush The ^Dtruth of the matter is I really can't sing But ^DI can quote Martin Luther King His ^Cwords are stronger than ^Gangel dust is "The ^Darc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice"

Now ^Dback to New Year's Eve at the gates of hell It's ^Dkinda like the Beverly Hills Hotel If ^Dyou can get a table next to the fire A ^Dsign says "Jacket and tie required" The ^Cdevil is bad and God of ^Gcourse is good But ^Dthere's one thing I never understood: God ^Dthrows us down in hell for all our sins ^DBurning in a fire and it never ends The ^Ddecision is made at the highest level Seems ^DGod outsources his work to the devil Like ^Che's an employee ^Gon the vice squad App^Dears like the devil is working for God

^DI can't believe I said that ^DI'm losing it ^DDid I mention Jimmy Perkins is a lying son of a bitch? ^DOh, that's good
