lyrics

Got nothin’ but some boxsprings
Since the day I was born
Never knew much about existence
Shuckin’ all day on mama’s corn

Can’t stand to see a cat with nightmares
Can’t stand to see a dog without a bone
Wishin’ away all of my troubles
While I sit here all alone

Well, my boxsprings is soaked in rum
And the radiator’s on fire
I puked on the African drum
I said the radiator’s on fire
And I puked on the African drum

Was layin’ on my box springs
Thought about buyin’ some milk
Found 80 dollars in the alley way
In a bag made of silk

I bought myself a drum
I bought myself a guitar
I taught myself to play
It was very, very hard

Well, my box springs is soaked in rum
And the radiator’s on fire
I puked on the African drum
I said the radiator’s on fire
And I puked on the African drum

Make my livin’ on the streets
Playin’ my African drum
Got a boy who collects my money
And a lady for fun

Oh yeah

Drinking rum between my bedsheets
Kicking the jive around in my shack
Dropped the roach on a towel
Inhaling tarry black

Well, my boxsprings is soaked in rum
And the radiator’s on fire
I puked on the African drum
I said the radiator’s on fire
And I puked on the African drum

Well, Jesus here I come
Cause my shack is on fire
I passed out on the African drum
I said my shack is on fire
I passed out on the African drum
