Giant Sand - Solomon's Ride lyrics

Solomon had a barracuda He rolled it three times At the bottom of the hill. He sold me all the good parts For a lonely one hundred dollar bill Him and 'Indian' walked away A haphazard miracle. He tells me all his visions, Displayed on a speeding pill pedestal. Solomon's ride. Solomon wore a robe once, No shoes on his feet, carried only A bowl and spoon Walked with his friend "Lightening" down From a Colorado sun to a Guatamalan moon And he's been to Vietnam And he's fried way too much back in G9 He says he's a mathematical genius. . . He's a long haired biker for God Friend of mine. Solomon's ride He say's he's just a cowboy But he don't eat no meat How can you live with the slaughter And be shocked with the shuffle in the street? Solomon fell in love by letter. . . A brain surgeon he never met out In the Ukraine. Gave it all up here and went out to go get her. Last time I saw him he was making A run for the plane. Solomon's ride.
