Nimrod's SonOne night upon my motorcycle through the desert spedAnd smashed my body so bad, all my friends thought I was dead My sister held me close and whispered to my bleeding head "You are the son of a motherfucker" One, two, three... I shook all night and held her hand - choke the people, well, I'll be damned Land of plenty, land of fun, to find out, I'm Nimrod's son Oh, bury me far away, please, bury me Ah... the joke has come upon me In my motorcycle mirror, I think about the life I've led And how my soul's been leaking, all the holes where I have bled My image spoke to me, yes to me, and often said "You are the son of incestuous union" One, two, three... Now my head is clear, my roof has walls, my daughter's pure, my son is tall Land of plenty, land of fun, to find out, I'm Nimrod's son Oh, bury me far away, please, bury me Ah... the joke has come upon me |
