PJ Harvey - Highway '61 Revisited - Demo Lyrics

Lyrics Highway '61 Revisited - Demo - PJ Harvey



Well, God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe said, "Man, you must be putting me on"
God said, "No," Abe said, "What?"
God said, "You do what you want to, Abe, but
The next time you see me coming, you'd better run"
Abe said, "Where do you want this killing done?"
"Out on that Highway in 61"
Well, Georgia Sam, he had a bloody nose
Welfare department would give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard, "Where can I go?"
Howard said, "There's only one place I know"
Sam said, "Quick man, tell me, I got to run"
Oh, Howard just pointed with his gun
He said, "That way down on 61"
Well, Mack the finger said, "Louie the King
I've got 40 red white and blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that won't ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?"
And he said, "Now let me think for a minute, son"
Said, "Yes, that can be easily done
Just take it down on that 61"
Highway
Highway
Highway
Highway
Now, the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told her first father that things weren't right
My complexion, she said, is much too white
He said, "Come here and stare up into the light"
And said, "Mmm, you're right
Let me tell the second mother, it's been done"
But the second mother with the seventh son
They were out on that Highway 61
Now, the gambler was very bored
Trying to create the next world war
And he found a promoter, fell on the floor
And said, "I've never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yep, I think it can be easily done"
Highway
"We'll just put some bleachers there out in the Sun
And have it out on that 61"
