Ray Wylie Hubbard - New Year s Eve at the Gates of Hell lyrics

It's New Year's Eve at the gates of hell Give the antichrist a cigarette and tell him The boy's here all the way from Oklahoma Oh Lord, what the hell is that aroma? It's Jimmy Perkins and all the sonsab**hes Who ripped off musicians and stole their riches They're burning over yonder with the Fox News who*es Oh, look is that the singer for The Doors Nope, my mistake 'cause no matter what they did Poets deserve to be in heaven and by the way, kid Why am I here when I wasn't that bad? I just didn't like churches but I never wore plaid Now I know I'm funky and strip bar dirty And I like a Les Paul through a Vox AC30 There's something about a lipstick pickup Plugged right into a Blond Tremolux But I guess I deserve to be burned alive Since I pawned by '59 ES 335 And sure I drank a lot of gin and tonic But I never threw away my Panasonic I kept that turntable through my divorce Playing Neil Young and Crazy Horse Drunk out of my mind singing "Tonight's The Night" It was as lethal on vinyl as China White Now maybe one time I used an Ouija board And I never learned to make a B flat chord So I got a double headed snake tattoo I love Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu And the action and the motion of a roulette wheel And a woman walking away in a pair of high heels Now once I drew an inside straight flush And I wished I could sing like Otis Rush The truth of the matter is I really can't sing But I can quote Martin Luther King His words are stronger than angel dust is "The arc of the moral universe is long But it bends toward justice" Now back to New Year's Eve at the gates of hell It's kind of like the Beverly Hills Hotel Before you can get a table next to the fire A sign says jacket and tie required The devil is bad and God of course is good But there's one thing I never understood God throws us down in hell for all our sins Burning in a fire and it never ends The decision is made at the highest level Seems Got out sources his work to the devil Like he's an employee on the vice squad Appears like the devil is working for God I can't believe I said that I'm losing it It's New Year's Eve at the gates of hell Let's party, did I mention Jimmy Perkins Was a lying son of a b**h?
