New Year S Eve At The Gates Of Hell Lyrics - Grifter's Hymnal - Ray Wylie Hubbard

It's New Year's Eve at the gates of hell 

Give the antichrist a cigarette and tell him 

The boy's here all the way from Oklahoma 

Oh Lord, what the hell is that aroma? 

It's Jimmy Perkins and all the sonsabitches 

Who ripped off musicians and stole their riches 

They're burning over yonder with the Fox News whores 

Oh, look is that the singer for The Doors 

Nope, my mistake 'cause no matter what they did 

Poets deserve to be in heaven and by the way, kid 

Why am I here when I wasn't that bad? 

I just didn't like churches but I never wore plaid

Listen To Every Song Of The Summer Since 1958 In Our Ultimate Mega-Mix 

Now I know I'm funky and strip bar dirty 

And I like a Les Paul through a Vox AC30 

There's something about a lipstick pickup 

Plugged right into a Blond Tremolux 

But I guess I deserve to be burned alive 

Since I pawned by '59 ES 335 

And sure I drank a lot of gin and tonic 

But I never threw away my Panasonic 

I kept that turntable through my divorce 

Playing Neil Young and Crazy Horse 

Drunk out of my mind singing "Tonight's The Night" 

It was as lethal on vinyl as China White 

Now maybe one time I used an Ouija board 

And I never learned to make a B flat chord 

So I got a double headed snake tattoo 

I love Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu 

And the action and the motion of a roulette wheel 

And a woman walking away in a pair of high heels

Now once I drew an inside straight flush 

And I wished I could sing like Otis Rush 

The truth of the matter is I really can't sing 

But I can quote Martin Luther King 

His words are stronger than angel dust is 

"The arc of the moral universe is long 

But it bends toward justice" 

Now back to New Year's Eve at the gates of hell 

It's kind of like the Beverly Hills Hotel 

Before you can get a table next to the fire 

A sign says jacket and tie required 

The devil is bad and God of course is good 

But there's one thing I never understood 

God throws us down in hell for all our sins 

Burning in a fire and it never ends 

The decision is made at the highest level 

Seems Got out sources his work to the devil 

Like he's an employee on the vice squad 

Appears like the devil is working for God 

I can't believe I said that I'm losing it 

It's New Year's Eve at the gates of hell 

Let's party, did I mention Jimmy Perkins 

Was a lying son of a bitch?
