15.Palestine Texas

作詞:T-bone Burnett

Frank who was swank, robbed a bank
With a tank for a prank
Sam who was glam, ran a scam
From Siam to Vietnam

Dean who was clean, had a scene
With the queen for a magazine
Joe wasn't slow but didn't know how to blow
All the dough from the show

Palestine, Texas, Palestine, Texas

Peter in a two seater for a heater
Had a thirty millimeter
Shecky worked blue for he knew
It was true he would not get his due

Ann knew the plan as she ran from a fan
With a man from the Klan
Phyllis would thrill us, then grill us
Then kill us with bacillus

Palestine, Texas, Palestine, Texas

Presidents come and presidents go
They rise like smoke, they fall like snow
Do you believe the things you say?
Your lofty thoughts are filled with hay

What is this faith that you profess
That led to this colossal mess?
When you awaken from this coma
You'll find you were in Oklahoma

When you crawl out of this self delusion
You're going to need a soul transfusion

This version of the world will not be here long
It is already gone, it is already gone
This version of the world will not be here long
It is already gone, it is already gone
