A Friend of the Devil

Love the dead    
they let me spin    
round and round and make me float.    
Maybe I better take another toke :)    
sit in my chair,close my eyes    
sing-a-long and smile.    
Whether it's    
shouting it out to Fire on the Mountain    
or singing,you know you got such dark eyes    
Woooo....    
Shaking it up with Sugaree and asking her to    
please forget she knew my name    
or telling Bertha    
Don't you come around here any more.    
I could always get a little dizzy    
spinning round and round with that girl,    
who has rings on her fingers      
and bells on her shoes...    
I knew right away she was not like the other girls.    
Or go Trucking with    
the do-dah-man    
what a long strange trip it's been...    
become the Ripple singing    
let there be songs to fill the air.    
Feeling so free,flying with the birds    
singing their songs...tell me all that you know.    
Hiding out in a rock and roll band    
with Uncle Sam    
wave that flag...we're all confused,what to do.    
It Must Have Been the Roses    
got me so fallen in love...    
all I know is I could not leave her there.    
Feeling all melancholy    
Standing on the Moon    
watching the battle rage below.    
I watch it roll by,    
feeling the pain.    
So sometimes I feel like just    
Throwing Stones and singing    
ashes,ashes we all fall down    
or maybe go strutting with    
Cosmic Charlie...    
he's smooth as silk.    
But where ever I walk with    
Jerry and the boys    
I know they will    
ease my soul    
because there are    
So Many Roads.    
     
RIP Jerry...
