lyrics:
when the times got so hard
we lost our faith in God
shed all this sacred blood
to only be left stuck in the mud
but in time a man came
who spoke his words with a huff
offerin' half-price salvation
down at Billygoat's Bluff
that's right now!
they called him Uncle Flopsy
unsure from where he came
spoke with such vigour
that he penetrated the brain
started preachin' somethin'
but it didn't feel enough
'til he found The Dark Sunrise
down at Billygoat's Bluff
praise the lord, now!
so many folks emerged
tryin' to preach The Word
what is seen may not be heard
when all the lines are blurred
i'm told that i'm special
a diamond in the rough
but everythang i need
is down at Billygoat's Bluff!
a beacon of the spirit
this place is definitely not
but it sure does soothe thy weary bones
when my brain starts gettin' hot
if you got no money
you can pay with other stuff
everyone is welcome
down at Billygoat's Bluff!
