The Felice Brothers Mix Tape Lyrics
1.The Captain's Wife


2.Forever Green

Well my shirt is sweaty
In my smoky Chevrolet
Reeling from cocaine

I hear crickets talking
Now I hear pool stick chalkin'
I must be in some bar room baby

Well the band that's following me
I can hear them hollerin
Dyin' to catch me

I could run forever
If you'd undo this leather strapped around me

Oh please take me up to your room

Your Grandma was a country singer
I'd love to have seen her
Making some bar room swing

I can see you doing that
If you had a Stetson hat
And an electric guitar to sing with

May you stay forever green
Like the country between us
Far after our hands unfold

And I bid farewell
In that old stairwell
Leadin' to the narrow road


3.White Limo

White legs, white hands, white limousine
Why you goin' so fast, Cincinnati Queen?
Could I love you in a bathroom stall?
Could I love you at the Union Hall?
White legs, white noise, white country blues
Black helicopter on the news
Could you meet me at your agency?
Could you jail me for petty vagrancy?
What a lovely lady
What a lovely limousine
White legs, white laws, white wedding gown
Just a little red to paint the town
Could you meet me out at the ghetto gates?
Where the ghouls and the grifters wait
What a lovely lady
What a lovely limousine
What a lovely lady
What a lovely limousine


4.Let Me Come Home

Oh Momma, my shoes don't fit
And it's hard to keep this candle lit
Oh Momma, my clothes are torn
And I ain't got blanket to keep me warm

Let me come home
Let me come home
Let me come home
I'm cold and I'm alone

Oh Papa, taught me to be strong
But Papa, this world's gone wrong
Papa, sorry for what I done
And I know I ain't good enough to be your son

Let me come home
Let me come home
Let me come home
I'm cold and I'm alone

My brother, I know that I stole her
But brother, you did not own her
And brother, you were a friend of mine
And I thought you'd be with me on the firing line

Let me come home
Let me come home
Let me come home
I'm cold and I'm alone

My sister your grave stands still
Under the willow by Cannon Hill
My sister I go back to that place
Where we hid from our troubles and the whole human race

Let me come home
Let me come home
Let me come home
I got flowers to bring


5.Indian Massacre


6.Old Song


7.Marie

They say we ran our course
But i feel like a racing horse
Got a Feeling i will running all my life
Oh, all i'm asking you Marie
is spend one more fare on me
Give me one more night

I thought i was smart enough
I read Moby Dick and stuff
I guess i ain't smart enough for you
oh, all i'm asking you Marie
is spend one more fare on me
give me one more night

You say you don't wanna dance
till i wash my hands
but my hands aren't as dirty as my mind
oh, all i'm asking you Marie
is spend one more fare on me
give me one more night

They say this song's in 'G'
but i don't give a shit
i wrote this song in the key of love
oh, all i'm asking you Marie
is spend one more fare on me
give me one more night


8.Marlboro Man

It's almost definite
I'm really on my way to hell
Get down dog, get down

I'll be your only friend
Kill you in the end
Get down dog, get down

What's the meaning of these shows you watch?
What's the meaning of these rows of clocks?
What's the meaning of love?

He still won't eat a thing
He's a goddam skeleton
Get down dog, get down

The priest is on his way
To give his last hooray
Get down dog, get down

What's the meaning of this cross he waves?
What's the meaning of this lost parade?
What's the meaning of love?

Come along Miss America
Come along with me
Your Marlboro Man's never coming home again
But you still got me

The boys are in the shade
The workers all been paid
Get down dog, get down

Two lovers in the park
It's way after dark
Get down dog, get down

What's the meaning of this flag you fly?
What's the meaning of this firework sky?
What's the meaning of love?

Come along Miss America
Come along with me
Your Marlboro Man's never comng home again
But you still got me


9.Ahab

Oh, take me,
to the place,
where the Queen Anne's lace,
runs wild.
Down some country bend,
I'm sick of New York, again.

Oh, man, I got it bad,
I'm like Ahab,
I'm in love.
Such a dirty thought,
for the one fis,
I never caught.

It's all been written,
they say,
like a school play in the gymnasium.
So, you can tell,
DeLillo,
he's got to find a sense of humor.

This fever,
might last, forever.
You, and me kid,
we should stay, together.

It's all white...

Take me to some bull fight,
in white and gold tights,
and a purple cape.
I'll do just fine,
I've got victory on my mind.

Molly Johnson,
down your stairs,
it's always dying a hair,
like sheep on the run.

Well, if you ever escape,
I could use a little change in pace.

This fever,
might last forever.
You and me kid,
we should stay together.

Yo de oh day-e
Yo de oh day-e

Take me to the place,
where the Queen Anne's lace,
runs wild . . .
