The Strange Little Blues
1985-10-03

this guitar has been played in pompeii
that's where the volcano blew everyone away
i seen the movie
they had it coming
... i use my imagination

oh, oh oh oh
oh, oh oh oh

it's a little bit strange
it's a little bit strange
it's a little bit strange
how you disappeared
i think about your face
and what you said
i'm in the book
i'm in the book
now call me like you said you would

oh, oh oh oh
oh, oh oh oh

'go-man-go' is what cindy lee berryhill's guitar says
mine says newborn babies should be issued banjos
woody guthrie's guitar said,"this machine kills fascists"
and i say,"i could love you, baby",
at least that's the way it feels
but i could be wrong

oh, oh oh oh
oh, oh oh oh

hey, why do you run?
you ain't much fun

she wants me to go with her
she wants me to go with her
she wants me to go with her
but i can't go with any of them
and you don't know,
but you're making me wait
and i don't know
but i'm wasting my time
i use my imagination...

oh, oh oh oh
oh, oh oh oh
