The Dying Oilman |
| I could be good, maybe I’m crazy |
| I could be good, maybe I’m mad |
| I could be good, don’t get in my way |
| Because I could be good, but I’m bad |
| (Coughing) Ugh… |
| I never thought it be like this. |
| (coughing) I just- I just figured it’d be a |
| brand new El Dorado every year from now on. |
| Aw, who is this guy in the mirror? |
| He looks so weak and pasty… |
| I always wanted to take little Sam to see that Sphinx statue over there in Egypt |
| I still don’t like the idea of that guy over in Denver firefloodin' on my field. |
| Asshole’s so dumb he wouldn’t know a pisspot from a kumquat. |
| (coughing) Ugh… |
| God, he could cost me a thousand barrels a day out of that field |
| Always wanted to see all that stuff they got over there in Europe, |
| and take little Sam and Earline both |
| Oh, God, I need a smoke. |
| (coughing) Don’t seem like one little smoke would |
| matter that much now… I gotta go back for more of them treatments tomorrow |
| Green. |
| The whole goddamn place is green. |
| But… but it ain’t grass green, |
| or money green, It’s puke green, or pus green. |
| And it’s- it’s the kind of |
| green I feel like when I’m there, like a bug about to be squished |
| I just- I just know Earline would love to see that Eiffel Tower over there in |
| France. |
| I think maybe she even has a poster about it in her room… |
