Branded On A Telephone

Branded on a telephone

Germans came, I wasn't home

Nickel for your fortune true

Dime when you reach forty-two

Vertebrae all scrambled 'round

Lately I have found a sound

Mention this to him above

Take care of the one I love

He told me not to be afraid

I kissed his feet and dug my grave



Walkin' down a line again

Hey mister, have you got a friend

Branded on a telephone

Junk man come, I wasn't home

Peace (?) escaped from me today

Fortune lady was a liar
