Lyrics Captain Beefheart – My Human Gets Me Blues

I saw you baby, dancin’ in your x-ray gingham dress
I knew you were under duress
I knew you were under your dress

Just keep comin’ Jesus, you’re the best dressed

In this lifetime
You got my-human-gets-me blues

With your jaw hangin’ slack and your hair’s curlin’
Like an ole navy fork stickin’ in the sunset
The way you were dancin’ I knew you’d never come back
You were strainin’ to keep your old black cracked patent shoes

In this lifetime
You got my-human-gets-me blues

Well the way you’d been ol’ lady, I could see the fear in your windows
Under your furry crawlin’ brow, a silver bow
Rings up in inches
You were afraid you’d be the devil’s red wife

But it’s alright, God dug your dance
And would have you young and in his harem
Dress you the way he wants ’cause he never had a doll
‘Cause everybody made him a boy
And God didn’t think to ask his preference

You can bring yer dress and your favorite dog
And your husband’s cane
And your old spotted hog

‘Cause in this lifetime
You got my-human-gets-me blues
