my brother kicked his feet to sleep
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
my brother kicked his feet to sleep

and i sang the dirge song

my brother never missed a beat

my brother kicked his feet to sleep, sweet feet
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
and i sang the dirge song


Angel, don't you have some bagels in my oven?
Lady, don't you know a man when you see one?

Crazy lady with the shiny shoes, where are you?
Kick you feet and calm the space that makes
you hollow


little swami's got his bowl to eat
little swami always walks his beat, sweet feet

little swami's got his bowl to eat
and i sing the dirge song


it's amazing how they come to see
the little swami with his bowl to eat, sweet feet
the little swami only wears a sheet

and won't sing the dirge song

!@#^, tight-assed soldier with that dogged heart

put down your gun
we are ready to explode, we gotta take it smart
and take it slow
