Lyrics for Joeys Camel by Godley And Creme:
| | | Artist: | Godley And Creme |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Joeys Camel | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 72 | | | | Lyrics: | Lonnie Garamond was disturbed by the face
that looked back at him from the bathroom
mirror
He looked older than he remembered
it was as if all forty-two years of his
life
had suddenly leap frogged over each other
and crash landed in his face
He was
middle-aged and the truth hit him
like a man with no parachute
the eyes were
golfballs
the skin hung on his face like a cheap suit
and the trapdoor of greasy black
frizz
that he combed from one side of his head to the other
to hide his baldness
in
reality emphasized it
It was 2:30 in the morning Nov. 22nd 1963
and Lonnie couldn't
sleep
Lonnie took a last look at the face
and popped another sleeping tablet
under his
sandpaper tongue
and slipped into a cold, dark sleep
The last thing Lonnie saw
before
his eyes finally closed
was his camera watching him
from the other side of the Motel
room
but the camera wasn't loaded yet
Lonnie Garamond was a loser
Lonnie Garamond was a
loser
Lonnie Garamond was a loser
and he really hated being that
Lonnie's body clock
woke him at 8:30 sharp
He stabbed a button by his bed
and the TV crackled into
life
showing the crowds already gathering
in Dealy Plaza
He showered, shaved, and
slipped into an Ivy League jacket
and brown slacks and loaded the camera
The Stetson put the
icing on the southern cake
and he headed for the parking lot
leaving the key behind in his
room
he knew he wouldn't be coming back
Lonnie Garamond was a loser
Lonnie Garamond was
a loser
Lonnie Garamond was a loser
and he really hated being that
Lonnie parked the
Buick and ran down Pacific St.
It was 12.15 and he wanted to be outside
the Texas School
Book Depository
