The Onion Song

about

...you think you got me all worked out?

lyrics

Well, you think you got me all worked out
But only some of that is true
There’s more to the picture
Than what’s looking back at you
Yeah I went down to the crossroads
But the devil didn’t show
So I took the path of least resistance
And I rolled with the flow

Elvis doesn’t hang from my rear vision mirror
I still love the king I just need to see a little clearer
I don’t want to weigh the onion
I just want to taste the layers

I got these songs I write
And they help to see me through
They seem to come from somewhere out there
Whenever the spirit moves
I just pass them on
Like seeds upon the wind
Don’t know if I give ém life
If they’ll walk or crawl or stand Elvis etc

Certain things are given
Old drunks and dirty jokes
And we know the New World Order
Came with fries and a coke
You can chase your demons
Do your best to make amends
But everything you love
Kills you in the end Elvis etc
