alabama weirding

driving down silo alley we see
bombogenesis in lower alabama
legerdemain in the sacred precincts of dothan
enthralled fief of imposture
spelled out on highway billboards
thanks for not playing
for not standing over
for making this all so easy
but once past the iron pig on 431
we see a homemade sign
let miss precious read the cards for you
and you feel the tropic pressure
even in the lower latitudes of bama
because miss precious is not a kindly one
no she wants that money
oh this is a bad card for you baby
8 of clubs mean trouble in the woman house
see if we got anything happening here
where you goin today honey
maybe panama city beach
lotsa women down there
one time this college girl came to me
and asked for her cards
she was pretty drunk giggling with her friends
and oh those cards were bad all low spades
i told her not to go to that beach
but she got mad and called me an old bitch
she was drunk you know
that night she fell off a balcony at a party
and broke her little neck
there is power in this world
no doubt about that
so honey i think its time
for you to give me fifty dollars
