When Papa Joe drives by
You know the demon’s on the run
Planning for your future
Take a lug into your lung
The chicks keep on dancing
When will they ever stop
They’re tipping you to make it
Right to the very top
One gets you single
& another gets you dead
She walks into the room
With an arrow in her head
She says she’s gonna leave you
She always was unkind
So I smoke her in the mirror
& I smoke her in my mind
I’m gonna go through this city
With a fine tooth comb
I’m gonna kick-up so much smoke
Leave that woman alone
Because the day becomes clearer
When the sun’s on your side
I can feel her imagination
Burning her disguise
Forward to the limits
Of my better side
Rolling & tumbling
Looking out for another ride
I know I feel so easy
But I really shouldn’t care
Smoke it all day, smoke it anywhere
She moves to Colarado
& feels an angels’s hand
Leaves the sky & her devils
Beat-up in the sand
& when she’s out of luck
She rolls the dice alone
Packs up her bags
& makes her own way home
