Bums, Carrot Trees, and Beer

Here's three more songs from the vault. As I'm compiling these old songs, I'm really starting to feel like I should be recording them... All in good time. I guess that's a good goal to have... Recording all of these before I die and shooting them into outer space to be found later...

I’m Yo Bum, Baby!

Chords: E, A7, B7

I got alcohol, flowin’ through my veins like cholesterol.

Scratching on my balls through my piss stained overalls.

Holding up my sign, getting visions of a cheeseburger, baby, I want cha

Cuz I ain’t had none, in a while

My crooked smile’s all I gotta give away

cuz the man’s been fucking my plans up since the first day.

But every time I see you, I give you my soul,

while you’re digging out change from your middle console..

I’m your bum, baby. I’m begging for your love.

I’m sleeping under bridges and I’m shakin’ my cup.

And maybe one day when I run into some luck

then I’ll be handin’ out the change to some unfortunate fuck...

Every day I’m watching you when you pull up to the light,

but sometimes I’m too damn drunk to even stand up right.

I wish I knew your name, cause on my sign I’d write it

as I mime to the people that I’m hungry on the highway.

Hungry for your kisses, and itching for your hugs,

but it might just be that fungus, that feels like crawling bugs.

So I’m a crawl my ass back up on the curb and take a swig,

then go behind the dumpster think of you and jerk my twig..

I’m your bum, baby. I’m begging for your love.

I’m sleeping under bridges and I’m shakin’ my cup.

And maybe one day when I run into some luck

then I’ll be handin’ out the change to some unfortunate fuck...

So gimme all your pennies and look in my eyes

and see the sorrow and the years of tears that I cried.

I just lied. Lied to you to the whole time.

The brand new Benz around the corner is mine.

I make about five hundred dollars a day,

just waiting on you silly mothafuckas to pay me

So how ya like me now babe. I’ll make your day,

now that I’m rich from all the money you’ve been giving away.

And I’ll gladly give it back if you do one thing.

It’s been a long coming if ya know what I mean…

I’m your bum babe and I’m a begging you please.

You got me drinking everyday because I know you’ll never need me.

But maybe one day, if I live that long,

then you’ll see that in my arms is where you’ve always belonged.

Yeah, I’m your bum baby. I’m begging for your love.

I’m sleeping under bridges and I’m shaking my cup.

Cause maybe one day if I run into some luck

then I’ll be handing out the change to some unfortunate fuck. What!

The Carrot Tree

Today, I’m walking like a king, the church bell sings, halleluiah...

And my brain doesn’t feel too heavy in my head…

And my heart feels kinda like a jingling thing, 

like change in the pocket of a gypsy king. 

And I really hope I feel this good again.

Singing la la laaaa... 
Singing oh yeah yeaaah...

Singing nah nah na nah na nah nah nah nah boo boo... 2X

And your face it dangles it front of me, 

you’re a flying bunny rabbit in a carrot tree, 

and I live for you to visit me in the sun.

And the same three chords are running through my head, 

as I place my monkey slippers down by my bed. 

The world is my oyster, and you’re my little pearl.

Singing la la laaaa... 
Singing oh yeah yeaaah... 

Singing nah nah na nah na nah nah nah nah boo boo... 2 X

As days fly by I remember you, 

with your shiny little smile and your cute hairdo, 

while you made my eggs all smiley faced in the morning. 

Sparkling diamonds, sunset lake, 

I belly flop into my bed to wake up, 

happy still to say you were by my side.

Singing la la laaaa... 
Singing oh yeah yeaaah... 

Singing nah nah na nah na nah nah nah nah boo boo... 2 X

As soon as the doctors let me out of here, 

Girl, imma track you down cuz my mind is clear. 

I'll just stash these pills and break free from this bed.

And today I’m walking like a king, the church bell sings, halleluiah...

And my brain doesn’t feel, to heavy in myyyy….. head.

Two Beers

It’s a, lazy Sunday, two beers to my name, so I’m sipping, enjoying them slowly

Gotta find enough dough before Monday, to pay the man, to come and turn my lights back on

Got extension cords hangin’ out the windows,

stretchin’ to the neighbors, laundry room down below

The radio and fridge are plugged in,

not that I have any food to protect within

Just some condiments and some pickled okra,

and two beers but I’m drinking them right now, brah.

Lazy Sunday, two beers to my name, so I’m sipping, enjoying them slowly

Gotta find enough dough before Monday, to pay the man, to come and turn my lights back on

I had to write a bad check to get a job done,

but I know it won’t hit until Tuesday

I headed out last night to have a ton of fun,

and drank up my last little bit of change

I feel like I might be losing my touch,

tomorrow’s coming for me, and I’m a running from it

I expect now, not to expect too much,

I’m down to one beer now and I’m loving on it.

Lazy Sunday, two beers to my name, so I’m sipping, enjoying them slowly

Gotta find enough dough before Monday, to pay the man, to come and turn my lights back on

Generally speaking, I always get what I need

and never ever get what I deserve

Until I figure out exactly what that is,

I’ll perpetually be pumpin’ at the self-serve

You gotta dollar come and place it in my ball cap

Unwind, allow your mind to let your hands clap

Hook me up and drop some cash before you go home

Cuz I’m outta beer and it’s time to get my lights turned on

Lazy Sunday, two beers to my name, so I’m sipping, enjoying them slowly

Gotta find enough dough before Monday, to pay the man, to come and turn my lights back on 2X
