85 Weeks

Frank Black and the Catholics

Once Eric said
Come gather around
I'll tell a tale
That is sure to astound

Un-somnambulist
That's awake see
He don't sleep

Talking, taking no break
Walking but you don't believe
No you don't believe
No you don't believe

As to his fame well
He has two claims
He is a don
And as well a captain

Un-somnambulist
That's awake see
He don't sleep

Talking, taking no break
Walking but you don't believe
No you don't believe
No you don't believe

They called him freak
And he lost all his friends
Could only speak
To the boys in the band

Un-somnambulist
That's awake see
He don't sleep

Talking, taking no break
Walking but you don't believe
No you don't believe
No you don't believe

Please will you listen
To what then did occur?
The world to him
Was all covered in fur

Un-somnambulist
That's awake see
He don't sleep

Talking, taking no break
Walking but you don't believe
No you don't believe
No you don't believe

No you don't believe
No you don't believe
No you don't believe

    Simply put... this is a song about Captain Beefheart, whom Eric used to play with in his Magical Band. Ummmm... Beefheart is not yer average dude. Neither is Charles Thompson. Lucky for us!
