    somthin CAPT. Beefheart-

    when she wears her bolero then she begins to dance
    all the pachucos start witholding hands
    when she drives her chevy sissies don't dare to glance
    yellow jackets and red debbils buzzing around her hair hive ho
    she wears her past like a present
    takes her fancy in the past
    her sedan skims along the floorboard
    her two pipes pied humming carbon cum
    got her wheel out of a b-29 bomber brodey knob amber
    spanish fringe and talcum tassels forever amber
    she looks like an old squaw indian
    she's ninety-nine she won't go down
    avocado green and alfalfa yellow adorn her to the ground
    tattoos and tarnished utensils a snow white bag full of tunes
    drives a cartune around bromo-seltzer blue umbrella
    keeps her up off the ground
    round red sombreros rap her high tap horsy shoes
    when she unfolds her umbrella pachuco got the blues
    her loving makes me so happy
    if i smile i would crack my chin
    her eyes are so peaceful thinks it's heaven she been
    her skin is as smooth as the daisies
    in the center where the sun shines in
    smiles as sweet as honey
    her teeth as clean as the combs where the bees go in
    when she walks flowers surround her
    let their nectar come into the air around her
    she loves her love sticks out like stars

    her loving sticks out like stars

    i was thinking of this song
    because, well, i always think of this song....

    'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
    When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
    I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
    "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
    I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
    In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
    "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
    Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
    Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
    "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
    Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
    Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
    "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
    With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
    She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
    "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."


    Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
    I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
    Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.
    "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
    But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
    And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.
    "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
    And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.
    Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
    "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
    I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.
    I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.
    "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
    Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
    If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.
    "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

    this one's about thinking about falling in love and wishing you were falling in love.
