Vision d’Eternité ?
It was the blackest night
There was no moon in sight
You know the stars ain’t shinin’
’cause the sky’s too tight
I heard the scarey wind
I seen some ugly trees
There was a werewolf honkin’
’long the side of me
I’m mean ’n I’m bad, y’know I ain’t no sissy
Got a big-titty girly by the name of chrissy
Talkin’ about her ’n my bike ’n me…
’n this ride up the mountain of mystery, mystery
I noticed even the crickets
Was actin’ weird up here
And so I figured I might
Just drink a little beer
I said, « gimme summa that what yer suckin’ on… »
But there was no reply
’cause she was gone…
« where’s those titties that I like so well
’n my goddamn beer! »
Is what I started to yell, then I heard this noise
Like a crunchin’ twig, ’n up jumped the devil…he’s about this big…
He had a red suit on
An’ a widow’s peak
An’ then a pointed tail
’n like a sulphur reek
Yes, it was him awright
I sweared I knowed it was
He had some human flesh
Stuck underneath his claws
You know it looked to me
Like it was titty skin
I said, « you sonofabitch! »
’cause I was mad at him,
Well he just got out his floss
’n started cleanin’ his fang
So I shot him with my shooter
Said: bang bang bang
Then the sucker just laughed ’n said, « put it away…
You know, I ate her all up…now what you
Gonna say? »
You ate my chrissy? « titties ’n all! »
Well, what about the beer then, boy? « were the cans
This tall? »
Even her boots? « would I lie to you? »
Shit, you musta been hungry! « yes, this is true. »
Well don’t they pay you good for the
Stuff that you do?
« well, you know, I can’t complain when the checks come through… »
Well I want my chrissy, ’n I want my beer
So you just barf it back up now, devil,
Do you hear?
« blow it out your ass, motorcycle man! I mean, I am the devil,
Do you understand? just what will you give me
For your
Titties and beer? I suppose you noticed this little
Contract here… » yer goddam right, you son-of-a-whore,
« don’t call me that »
That’s about the only reason
…gimme that paper…bet yer ass I’ll sign…
’cause I need a beer, ’n it’s titty-squeezin’ time
« man, you can’t fool me…you ain’t that bad…
I mean you shoulda seen some of the souls I had…
Why there was milhous nixon ’n agnew, too…
’n both of those suckers was worse ’n you… »
Well, let’s make a deal if you think that’s true
I mean, you’re the devil, so whatcha gonna do?
(improvised dialog)
« wait a minute…a tinge of doubt crosses my mind…when you say…
That you want to make a deal with me… »
« that’s very, very true
I’m only interested in two things
« yeah? »
See if you can guess what they are »
« i would think…uh…let’s see, maybe stravinsky… »
« i’ll give you two clues. let go of your pickle »
« what? »
« let go of your pickle! »
« i’m not holding my pickle »
« well, who’s holding your pickle then? »
« i don’t know…she’s out in the audience…
Hey dale, would you like to come up here and hold
My pickle to satisfy this weird man out on the stage? »
« i’m only interested in two things, and that’s
Titties and beer
You know what I mean?
« what? »
Titties and beer
Titties and beer
Titties and beer
Titties and beer
Titties and beer
Titties and beer
Titties and beer! »
Titties and beer! »
« i don’t know if you’re the right guy? »
Titties and beer! »
Titties and beer! »
« no! don’t sign it! give me time to think…
I mean hold on a second boy, ’cause that’s magic ink! »
And then the devil let go of his pickle
And out come my girl, there was her titties
Flop-floppin’…all around the world
She said « i got me three beers and a fistful of downs
And I’m gonna get ripped, so fuck, you clowns! »
Then she gave us the finger, it was rigid and stiff
That’s when the devil, he farted
And she went right over the cliff!
The devil was mad, I took off to my pad
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
