Solomon's Ride Lyrics

Giant Sand Solomon's Ride

Solomon had a barracuda
He rolled it three times
at the bottom of the hill.
He sold me all the good parts
for a lonely one hundred dollar bill
Him and 'Indian' walked away
a haphazard miracle.
He tells me all his visions,
displayed on a speeding pill pedestal.
Solomon's ride.
Solomon wore a robe once,
no shoes on his feet, carried only
a bowl and spoon
Walked with his friend "Lightening" down
from a Colorado sun to a Guatamalan moon
And he's been to Vietnam
and he's fried way too much back in G9
He says he's a mathematical genius. . .
He's a long haired biker for God
friend of mine.
Solomon's ride
He say's he's just a cowboy
but he don't eat no meat
how can you live with the slaughter
and be shocked with the shuffle in the street?
Solomon fell in love by letter. . .
A brain surgeon he never met out
in the Ukraine.
Gave it all up here and went out to go get her.
Last time I saw him he was making
a run for the plane.
Solomon's ride.
