pagan dreams (boonjah, boonjah), rocking in my mind
made me think my life was really fine
out all night, drunk and running wild
spending money, laughing like a child
then they said, a little smile will never hurt your face
c'mon man, smoke that stuff, it ain’t no disgrace
glory hallelujah, life is just a melody they call the zig-zag rag
well, i was drinking brew, guzzling down some gin
when i saw this good lookin’, sweet talkin’ lady come waltzing in
she said, i need a ride, i'm in deep and dark despair
i said, i'll take you honey, just about anywhere
whack, whack, whack, you get the number on that Cadillac?
that passed me on the right and then cut back, right in front of me
whack, whack, whack, i hit the fence and then it hit me back
you get the number on that Cadillac?
i think it was a '73
don't y’know i woke up, lying in a ditch, staring at the sky, oh my!
wondering if i’ve got time to get high before i die
life is just a melody they call the zig-zag rag
well, y'know a little smile will never hurt your face
pop your noodle, wang dang doodle day
pagan dreams!

Willie T & Doctor X are a dynamic acoustic rock/folk/blues (more recently categorized as Americana) songwriting duo. These
long-time veterans of the Boston music scene have performed for many years all over the northeastern U.S. Their music evokes an overall 1970s roots-rock feel with an authenticity that comes from growing up with that sound and performing it together since they were kids....more
