Lyrics Beefheart - Olivver the Kid

I woke up singing your verses again
My voice is pitchy but
It pays the rent
Sometimes
My head is cloudy
And something ain't right
And I can't feel nothing
So I sleep through the night

I'm dreaming a chorus
The hook is your name
I'm fishing for something or
Someone to blame
Sometimes
I feel the pull or a push on my life
Wake up on ringing but
I keep with this rhyme

And I don't wanna be anyone else
Though I'm flawed
But I hope you can't tell
I'm not sure what patience would do
For a man like me the color bruise

I'm just damaged goods
Led you out of the woods
And into the light then
But I'd do it again
And if I could speak true
Beefheart here's an ode to you

Nothing is honest or naked or true
And I'm searching for something
I'm bound to lose
Nothing is perfect or bearing of fruit
And I'm just my own selfish
Depressive muse

And I don't wanna be anyone else
Though I'm flawed
But I hope you can't tell
I'm not sure what patience could do
For a man like me the color bruise

I'm just damaged goods
Met you out of the woods
And into the light then
But I'd do it again
And if I could speak true
Beefheart here's an ode to you
