Kerosene Hat Lyrics - Kerosene Hat - Cracker

How can I fly with these old doggy wings 

While the magpie sings some shiny song? 

Old corn face, row of teeth 

She says sweetly to me in the elevator 

Everything seems like a dream 

And life's a scream 

Here come old Kerosene Hat 

With his ear flaps waxed, a-courting his girl 

Come clattering in here on your old cloven skates 

With that devilish spoon 

Everything seems like a dream 

And life's a scream 

When you're submarine 

So don't you bother me, death 

With your leathery ways and your old chaise lounge 

Wickerman's fence of leathery tyres 

And the cook's gone bad, started several fires 

Everything seems like a dream 

When you're submarine 

Head like a stream, she says softly to me 

From the rattling chair 

"Bring me a steak and my old pair of crows 

My medicine lamp" 

Everything seems like a dream 

So life's a scream
