lyrics

YOU MUST BE JOE KING
I bought a Ouija board so I could walk thru heaven
I took it with me on the way to hell
I bought a guitar so that I could talk to Lennon
And practice playing If I Fell, well, well

I look thru the windows
I see thru the walls
I turn all the channels
Say one say all I’m Joe King

I watch the cheap girls as they watch the cheap guys
They’re dancing to the Doobies’ beat
Hard pressed for hard rock they retreat too soon
Their noodle minds are incomplete

I climb thru the windows
I walk thru the walls
I turn all the channels
Say one say all I’m Joe King

I take my cats and dogs to doctors
They give them shots and feed them pills
They take me out for runs and walks
It’s up to them to pay the bills

I fly thru the windows
I smash thru the walls
I turn all the channels
Say one say all I’m Joe King
Lyrics – Burke
