Shovelheads Lyrics

Draining off the charge-grid.
Dresssing up the cats
Leaning on the Mercy Weights
The days go by like that.
Hosing down the Love Bus
That's how I got my start
To seal the deal - now I reveal
The secrets of the art...

So I say: 'Hey Mr Cronenburg
Show me inside.
Hey Mr Cronenburg,
What you got to hide?'
I'm out with the new crew.
I'm down with the Shovelheads -
Solving mysteries at night
Down on the riverbed -
I'm out with the Shovelheads - the oxen have been bled -
And I feel fine...

Live at the Boiling Statue,
My new friends entertain.
Their furious intensity
I cannot quite explain.
Winding up the rheostat:
Hear that sucker whine.
Do not crank the handle
If you cannot do the time.

I said: 'Hey Mr Carradine you're a friend of mine,
Spare me all that violence that you peacefully decline.
I'm lost to a new groove,
I'm down with the Shovelheads
(Being constantly dismayed by what is done and said).
I'm out with the ShovelHeads
The mall rats have been fed
- Not before time.

Fondling the spectre.
Strapping on the cape.
Feeling extra special
As I'm peeling off the tape.

All this new oblivion
Really hits the mark.
I fall asleep and feel the deep
Enchantment of the dark.

And I said 'Hey Liebermann
Show me your disguise.
Hey Mr Liebermann
Don't try to be that guy'
You're in with with a cool scene.
You're rocking the Shovelheads.
You're one of the angels levitating on the needle's head.
You're with the Shovelheads
Give them their daily bread
('Cause I got mine).

I'm out with the Wild Bunch
I'm in with the Shovelheads
I got a panoramic view from on my waterbed
I'm down with the Shovelheads
And I'm a Shovelhead
And I feel fine...
