Shawn Phillips - Salty Tears lyrics

Phillips Salty tears from a lady with electric knees Seven years I've been smoking that anti-freeze Silly fears and I never even held the keys Won't you please take another look Are you going to the marketplace Read another book Learn the rules of the human race Try to learn to cook 'Cause there isn't time to see the face Wrapped in silk and lace Paper men pentagon hives Paper men polluting our lives Paper men telling their lies Start another war And you'll find it very hard to copy Spring it on the poor And you're acting like another Pope Well they won't take any more But they'll give another length of rope It's our only hope Flying like a bird In the open sky of fantasy Listen to the word Before you reach a state of entropy Well it really is absurd For a man to think he isn't free The key is me Laced lady take another mountain Laced lady climb another mountain Laced lady what do you see Laced lady now you are free
