Cover art for Dust Devil lyrics by Butthole Surfers

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"

and poking around i found what seems to be a closer version

"I drove out to the canyon grindin' dust up from the sand I'm gonna hook up with the dust devil he's got the power of an upright in his god-damned hand

The sand becomes a potent elixir, wind as hot as flame the bodies fly right through the night all faceless and without name. I grab onto a foreign handle, walkin' through a door I discovered that I was just buyin a pint of 'turkey at the liquor store

I drove out to the canyon, baby, hit...

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.
