Dust Devil Lyrics
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I drove out to the canyon grinding dust off from the sand
I don't ever fuck with the dust devil
He's got the power of an upright in his goddamn hand
Sand becomes a potent elixir
Wind as hot as flame
The bodies fly right through the tide
All faceless and without name
I grab onto a foreign handle walkin' through a door
Discovered that I was just buying a pint of turkey at the liquor store
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I drove out to the canyon, baby
Hit the motherfuckin' road
I paid my fine and all the lights looked exactly like a picture show
The devil disguised before my eyes and he turned and I knew i'd see
A flaming mass of oil and gas
Screams of ecstasy
I don't ever fuck with the dust devil
He's got the power of an upright in his goddamn hand
Wind as hot as flame
The bodies fly right through the tide
All faceless and without name
I grab onto a foreign handle walkin' through a door
Discovered that I was just buying a pint of turkey at the liquor store
Hit the motherfuckin' road
I paid my fine and all the lights looked exactly like a picture show
The devil disguised before my eyes and he turned and I knew i'd see
A flaming mass of oil and gas
Screams of ecstasy

This song is crazy!
He has the power of an upright? That makes no fucking sense. God, I wish they had put lyrics in the booklet.
These Lyrics are horribly mutilated, but trying to translate Mr. Haynes is sometimes next to impossible. But the power of an upright part is right. Dirt Devil used to use that as a slogan.

I think the second part goes something like "The sand becomes a potent elixir, wind as hot as flame The bodies fly right through the night, all faces without name I grab onto a foreign hand, go walking through a door Discovered that i was just buying a pint of Turkey at the liquor store"

Yeah, I thought Dust Devil was a household name as well as that line from the commercial. Hell, I have a Dust Devil in my closet now.

Guess if Gibby had written it today it would be about a Dyson Devil. Maybe that is what happens when you do drugs and trip in a closet where a vacuum is stored. You also make a kick-ass song.

DirtDevil was a brand of vacuum cleaner made by Royal that came out in 1984; it was small and portable but still had pretty good suction power. The tagline for the early ads was "Power of an upright in your hand."

So, Gibby made a pretty good joke swapping Dust Devil for Dirt Devil.

The power of an upright in his GD hand.
He’s talking about an upright vacuum cleaner.
