Old man Barry walks with a cane, drinking the water straight from the drain
Asks for directions for out of his brain, drops his scarf on the Arkansas plain
Asking for the answer, looking for the key
Don’t matter any, you still just see what you want to see
Jim stopped by Mona’s where he once lived before
Grew his hair long, Mona said "I don’t know you no more"
Jim went to pieces right there at the door
Mona said "When you’re done, could you please clean your tears off my floor"
Asking for the answer, looking for the key
Don’t matter any, you still just see what you want to see
The camel to the horse asked where the water was
Said the horse to the camel "Why don't you tell me what that hump does?"
Choked the camel to the horse "Why?"
The horse said "Because,
I always wanted to see a camel choke on mud and sand and dust"
Asking for the answer, looking for the key
Don’t matter any, you still just see what you want to see
