Lyrics Owed T' Alex - Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band

Owed T' Alex

Stupid heart, cupid heart
Where will you go from here?
Magnetic ring, magnetic draw
Ooh, what you got me into?
I’m a wolf, chrome craw
Leavin' you now
I’ll write ya, ma
Takin' a putt up to Carson City
Well, if you hear me howlin'
Well hell, sittin' pretty
Tasting nitty gritty
Puttin' on in to Carson City
Sparks, tattoos, two tats and a toot
Helmets, crosses, and a patch to boot
Engine hot, pipes burn white
Glad I’m not home tonight
Five miles back I took a spill
Thought I almost paid my bill
Makin' my putt to Carson City
Party time with the Jones-by-name
Ah, it’s a shame
Say, it’s a pity
Gotta putt outta Carson City
