The Lyrics
I’m in a swale and stewed. . .
had too much wine
and beverages that are brewed.
I am lyin’
in that gulch, cryin’.
You know, I can’t stand up
after fallin’ down.
Though I hold my hand up
to seek succor, there’s no one around
to help this wailing dude
who ain’t aligned. . .
inclined.
I’m a dude
who is stewed
Altitude?
Not imbued with it now.
I’m supine here,
flailing fecklessly
like a downed cow.
And weeping.
Here in this swale; my mood
is far from fine.
had too much wine
and beverages that are brewed.
I am lyin’
in that gulch, cryin’.
You know, I can’t stand up
after fallin’ down.
Though I hold my hand up
to seek succor, there’s no one around
to help this wailing dude
who ain’t aligned. . .
inclined.
I’m a dude
who is stewed
Altitude?
Not imbued with it now.
I’m supine here,
flailing fecklessly
like a downed cow.
And weeping.
Here in this swale; my mood
is far from fine.
