April the 14th Part 1

When the iceberg hit
 Oh they must have known
 That God moves on the water
 Like Casey Jones
 So I walked downtown
 On my telephone
 And took a lazy turn
 Through the red eye zone
 It was a five band bill
 A two dollar show
 I saw the van out in front
 From Idaho
 And the girl passed out
 In the back seat trash
 There was no way they'd make
 Even a half a tank of gas
 They looked sick and stoned
 And strangely dressed
 And no one showed
 From the local press
 But I watched them walk
 Through the bottom land
 And I wished I played
 In a rock and roll band
 Hey hey
 It was the 14th day of April
 Well they closed it down
 With their sails in rags
 And they swept up the fags
 And the local rags
 And threw the plastic cups
 Into plastic bags
 And the cooks cleaned the kitchen
 With the staggers and the jags
 Ruination day
 And the sky was red
 I went back to work
 And back to bed
 And the iceberg broke
 And the Okies fled
 And the Great Emancipator
 Took a bullet in the back of the head
