*the tiger got to hunt
2
the bird got to fly
3
the man got to sit and wonder why
4
the tiger got to sleep
5
the bird got to land
6
the man got to tell himself one day he'll understand
7
they can't slow my shows throughout the lower south
8
so with my rapid fire motormouth I capsized the show promoters house
9
claimed my coined and copped a case of cola
10
hopped a train so vain we was soaking down to NOLA
11
I'm a scatterbrain eatin' boxes of Zatarain's at the lack of stains toppin' table tops
12
tellin' cable cops that I don't have a name or occupation
13
that's when they lost they're patience
14
and brought me to the station for some cross examination
15
I'm being held under wrongful suspicion
16
all bundled up in the awkward position
17
till my man the jailer handed me a file
18
I filed the bars and documents and wandered down the aisle
19
once back on my hurtin' feet i hurdled free to bourbon street
20
where unexpectedly i met a fleeter at a cappa cheese who want to murder me
21
because my eighth grade grand pops sold the land with a gun in his hand
22
now lookin' back is just a blur
23
they sold me for my fur plus my frankincense and mur
24
I had to been beaten in the head with the bike to feed my Blues
25
I won't dispute all my philosophical views
26
although I didn't have many to lose
27
the most significant of them is one i often abuse
28

29
I was awoken several hours later by defibrillator
30
headed to the sixth level in a crowded elevator in the medicinal center
31
where the doctors all said I would be shackled in forever to a hospital bed
32
they tried to calm me down with their sedatives and drowsiness
33
then I read the proud text of Malcom x
34
it taught I should never let em put my mouth to rest and speak out against
35
money hungry charlatans and counterfeits
36
one day I snapped, gnawed through my straps
37
fled my water luncheon through the rubber somewhat blurry mass and ass
38
of parishioners who were all in awe
39
why you worship this awful god with all your knobs
40
jumped on the table ripped the box from off the wall
41
swung a line cable through the window in the hall
42
the nurses pulled can of pepper spray from their purses
43
but their disperses prove worthless as I made my getaway to the surface
44
pirated a charter boat crossed the gulf along the (?) to the Galapagos
45
off in the distance a perforated roll
46
ran through playin' piano like worms through a skull
47
yo Nietzsche couldn't reach me nor could any of his kind
48
cause cuttin' down vines with a simian mind is like tryin
49
to drain the ocean out on the dry land
50
even if you succeed the water meets up again
51
it's been a long time since my introspective journey
52
and with the help of a respected attorney
53
I moved out west to find a home in Idaho
54
long from the land of Cajun catfish and Zydeco
55
and up here there ain't nothin' to do
56
unless your into having barnyard fun and huffing glue
57
and I'm not so I sit and wonder lots
58
as my chargle didding mind sifting to another spot
59
would stay out of picture women swim without a sone thought
60
and reality and man killed the next stores crop
61
and I used to do the same for an answer to my question
62
till I figured out there aint a man who has possession
63
assuming there's a foundation there to possess
64
it's all too human too expect any sense
65
the thought would always claw at the back of my mind
66
why outta all the great beasts why I had to be mine
67
leg leg arm head upright spine
68
it's a members only club with one way to resign
69

70
the tiger got to hunt
71
the bird got to fly
72
the man got to sit and wonder why
73
the tiger got to sleep
74
the bird got to land
75
the man will never understand even if he thinks he can
