Revolutionary Hamstrung Blues

Lyrics: Bobby Petersen
Music: Phil Lesh, Brent Mydland

Halfway past gloomy Monday
Further side of loon
Rollin' down Wild Hair Boulevard
With the rising of the poon
Hot damn, it's Mother's Day
Don't you all look fine
Promenading down along the carwash
Passin' snipes and sniffin' wine

We got poets, shuckers, Godzilla's grandmother
Sweet little frozen-nose Sue
We got Speed Razor and his Arcade Androids
Revolutionary Hamstrung Blues

Singing, Mama may I tighten your cap?
Honey let me loosen your load
Here, hold on to this hand grenade
While I...

I remember some chicks from the shit club
Comin' on to Silly's squeeze Joe
Silly sez, I'll say it once
For you it's cold steel, and slow

So the sand dune bar errupted
Splintered chairs and flyin' glass
Silly smack dab in the storm eye
Spoutin' verse and kickin' ass

Back then what seemed to happen nightly
Now would make the six o'clock news
Still Speed Razor and the band kept playin'

As I recall, I went for the window
But I never did get clear
Deputy Hawg and his hickory stick
Was the last thing I saw that year
Drag me down to Kangaroo Cave
Read the charges if you please
Laid thirty days upon my tail
For interfering with entropy

Singing, momma may I tighten your cap?
Your Honor, let me loosen your load
Here, hold on to this grenade for me
While I ...

Yes, the full moon irradiates Wild Hair Boulevard now
Where gunships prowl so bold
Reminds me of old Silly and how he
Did it all over
Did it all over
Did it all over the road

We got poets, shuckers and Godzilla's grandmother
Sweet little frozen-nose Sue
We got Speed Razor and his Arcade Androids
Revolutionary Hamstrung Blues
