Neal Cassady Drops Dead Lyrics

Neal Cassady drops dead
And Allen Ginsberg’s tears shampoo his beard
Neal Cassady drops dead
And Allen Ginsberg’s lips tighten and thin
Neal Cassady drops dead
And Allen Ginsberg’s hosed down in a barn
Neal Cassady drops dead
And Allen Ginsberg’s 'Howl' becomes a growl

Everyone has babies
Babies full of rabies
Rabies full of scabies
Scarlet has a fever
Ring’s full of ringworm
Angel of distemper
The little fella has got rubella
Nipper full of fungus
Junior full of gangrene
Minor's melanoma
Tyke full of gripe
Whippersnapper scurvy
Urchin made of acne
Get that thing away from me

Victim or life’s adventurer: which of the two are you?
Victim or life’s adventurer: which of the two are you?

Only Moz could get away with a line like "And Allen Ginsberg’s hosed down in a barn."
