Picasso Moon (Grateful Dead)

Lyrics

South of Market in the land of ruin
You find all manner of action
Tinsel tigers in the metal room
Stalkin satisfaction
They got em packaged up for love and money
Tattooed tots, chrome spike bunnies
Pop on my mirrored shades, the better to see
And roll on in, gonna roll in it, honey but

I get a feelin like when big things collide
Like the crack before the thunder, like I really ought to hide
Here comes Metal Angel, she look ready to ride
What's that she's tryin to show me
What's that she's tryin to show me

Picasso Moon, shattered light
Diamond bullets tearin up the night
Picasso Moon, eliminate me
Great amazing majesty, oh yeah
Amaze and blaze for all to see
And it's bigger than a drive-in movie, ooooo-eeee
Bigger than a drive-in movie, ooooo-eeee


Hangin ten out on space and time
Redefining distance
The next skull on your necklace is mine
Cheap for such assistance
I had a job trading bits for pieces
We'd make wrinkles, advertise them as creases
Please find my resignation enclosed
Roll on it, we gonna roll in it, honey

Dark Angel, what's botherin you
So strange, you'll do me all that you do
Dark Angel, you're makin me blue
I guess it doesn't matter
I guess it doesn't matter

Picasso Moon, blinding ball
I feel the quickening, I hear the call
Picasso Moon, fill the sky
Amaze n blaze n mystify
Out on the lunar wind, I wanna fly
It's bigger than a drive-in movie, oh my
Bigger than a drive-in movie, oh my


Comes the morning, atomic dawn
Scramble back to cover
Quick, pop your mirrored sunglasses on
My little leather-winged lover
I see your face printed on my money
Your brazen ways really move me, honey
Heart of darkness, Yeah yeah hoo
Why'm I laughing now? Sure ain't funny

Dark Angel, now just don't start
You'll break my spirit, wreck my heart
You must have a license to practice that art
I don't presume to imagine
I don't presume to imagine

Picasso Moon, fractal flame
Blazing lace filling every frame
Picasso Moon, wheels within wheels, oh yeah
Bell's are ringin, it's way unreal, oh yeah
Tryin to tell y'all just how it feels, oh yeah
And it's bigger than a drive-in movie, for real
Bigger than a drive-in movie, for real

Picasso Moon, shattered light
Diamond bullets tearin up the night
Picasso Moon, eliminate me
Picasso Moon, blinding ball
I feel the quickening, I hear the call
Picasso Moon, fill the sky, my my my
Picasso Moon, fractal flame
Blazing lace filling every frame
Picasso Moon, wheels within wheels, oh yeah

My my my...
Bigger than a drive-in movie...
