Verse 1
Saw a man scream at a toaster in a Walmart line
Kid with face tattoos quoting scripture and wine
Gas hit six bucks, preacher bought a jet
Everybody’s offended and nobody’s quit yet
Woman on her third soulmate in a trailer park tan
Dog smarter than half the folks running this land
Newsman crying like the world just died
While teenagers film fistfights for a million likes
Chorus
Life’s a crooked carnival ride from hell
One long joke nobody knows how to tell
Bills pile up while the rich get thinner
Saints act guilty and the crooks play winners
Then to top it all off somewhere around dawn
I saw a purple elephant dancing with Willie Nelson
Verse 2
Buddy swears AI’s gonna steal every song
Then asks me which buttons he should push all night long
Old biker in the bar talks peace and love
Then punches a jukebox when they play pop stuff
Church girl sneakin’ cigarettes out back
Judge got caught buying things he banned in fact
Everybody pointing fingers left and right
While hiding little train wrecks deep outta sight
Chorus
Life’s a crooked carnival ride from hell
One long joke nobody knows how to tell
Politicians stealing while they wave and grin
Half the town broke, still betting to win
Then to top it all off somewhere around dawn
I saw a purple elephant dancing with Willie Nelson
Bridge
Maybe the world’s just tired and stoned
Maybe we ain’t meant to figure it out alone
Maybe sanity packed up years ago
And left us all laughing at the rodeo
Final Chorus
Life’s a busted jukebox skipping truth for lies
Smoke in the mirror and tears in disguise
Everybody searching for a little salvation
In pills, guitars, screens and conversations
And just when I thought I’d finally gone wrong
There’s a purple elephant dancing with Willie Nelson
Smiling like he knew the punchline all along

its a old idea I had on wierd dreams . Actually I think I need more Jack and Xanc to deal with serious people. Sorry I need to be high to talk to you . Why would I care on an addiction at 73 years old ? Am I dying healthy or something ? I don't think dead is healthy . Oh thats much to dark for Sunday. What did he die from ? Serious people. I did tell Blue at that gas station that women and men are hobbies . She liked that joke . Do you have a rewards card ? Only in heaven .

The only rewards card I'll ever get, is in Heaven lol. Dreams are weird , You wake up . thank God Reality. what the hell was that ?

I came for the hook was not disappointed....love it all

The song itself is stellar...and the ending cosmically funny..yaeh Willy's in on it
