Lyrics

Can't remember anything at all Flamed trees lie in the streets Can't remember anything at all But I'm driving my car down to Geneva I've been sitting in my basement patio Ah, it was hot Up above the girls walk past Their roses all in bloom Have you ever heard about the Higgs Boson blues? I'm goin' down to Geneva, baby Gonna teach it to you Who cares, who cares what the future brings? Black road long, and I drove and drove Came upon a crossroad The night was hot and black I see Robert Johnson with a ten dollar guitar Strapped to his back, looking for a tune Well, here comes Lucifer with his cannon law And a hundred black babies running from his genocidal jaw He got the real killer groove Robert Johnson and the devil man Don't know who's gonna rip off who Driving my car, flame trees on fire Sitting and singin' the Higgs Boson blues I'm tired, I'm looking for a spot to drop All the clocks have stopped in Memphis now And the Lorraine Motel is hot, it's hot That's why they call it the Hot Spot I take a room with a view Hear a man preaching in a language that's completely new, yeah Making the hot cocks in the flop house bleed While the cleaning ladies sob into their mops and the bell ho-hops and bops A shot rings out to a spiritual groove Everybody bleeding to the Higgs Boson blues And if I die tonight Bury me in my favorite yellow patent leather shoes And with a mummified cat and a cornrag hat That the caliphate forced on the Jews Can you feel my heartbeat, can you feel my heartbeat? Hannah Montana does the African savannah As the simulated raining season begins She curses the cue with the Zulu And moves onto Amazonia, cries with the dolphins The Mai-Mai eat the pigmy, the pigmy eat the monkey The monkey has a gift that he is sending back to you Look, here comes the missionary with his smallpox and flu He's saving them savages with his Higgs Boson blues I'm driving my car down to Geneva I'm driving my car down to Geneva Oh, let the damn day break Rainy days always make me sad Miley Cyrus floats in a swimming pool in Taluca Lake And you're the best girl I ever had Can't remember anything at all
