Deadhead

Look out, boys, cause I'm a rolling stone

That's what I was when I first left home

I took every secret that I'd ever known

And headed for the wall

Like a wrecking ball

Started out on this road to sin

Playing thrash under a pseudonym

The days would shine and it's all quite dim

But my mind cut through it all

Like a wrecking ball

I was just a little deadhead

Who is watching who is watching

I was just a little redneck

I trolled the projects for the zombie men

They took my money and was gone again

Just the one there let the spike go in

Like God, as I recall

Like a wrecking ball

Met a junkie angel of the San Joaquin

She showed me colors that I'd never seen

Drank the bottom out of my canteen

And left me in the Fall

She was like a wrecking ball

Standing there in the morning mist

Radio shack cassette player at my wrist

A tab of acid and a brain that split

In three directions all

Heading straight for the wrecking ball

I was just a little deadhead

Who is watching who is watching

I was just a little junkhead

With too much trouble for me to shake

The weather and the blinding ache

I was riding high until the 86 quake

When Jesus took it all Like a wrecking ball

Like a wrecking ball
