It was a dark day in Dallas, November 63. A day that would have haunted him for me. President Kennedy was a ridin' high. Good day to be livin' and a good day to die. Bein' led to the slaughter like a sacrificial lamb. He said, wait a minute boys, you know who I am? Of course we do, we know who you are. Then they blew off his head while he was still in the car. Shot down like a dog in broad daylight. Was a matter of timing and the timing was right. You got unpaid debts, we've come to collect. We're gonna kill you with hatred, without any respect. We'll mock you and shuck you and we'll put it in your face. We've already got someone here to take your place. The day they blew out the brains of the king. Thousands were watchin', knowin' something. It happened so quickly, so quick by surprise. Right there in front of everyone's eyes. Greatest magic trick ever under the sun. Perfectly executed, skillfully done. Wolfman, oh wolfman, oh wolfman howl. Rub-a-dub-dub, it's a murderous fowl. Hush little children, you'll understand. The Beatles are comin', they're gonna hold your hand. Slide down the banister, go get your coat. Ferry across the Mersey and go for the throne. There's three bums comin' all dressed in rags. Pick up the pieces and lower the flags. I'm goin' to Woodstock, it's the Aquarian age. Then I'll go over to Altamont and sit near the stage. Put your head out the window, let the good times roll. There's a party goin' on behind the glassy door. Stack up the bricks, pour the cement. Don't say Dallas don't love you, Mr. President. Put your foot in the tank and step on the gas. Try to make it to the trip on advance. Black face singer, white face clown. Better not show your faces after the sun goes down. Hop in the red light district like a cop on the beat. Livin' in a nightmare on Elm Street. When you dial a new bell and put your money in your shoe. Don't ask what your country can do for you. Cash on the bell, Ed, money to burn. Dealey Plaza, make a left-hand turn. I'm goin' down to the crossroads, gonna fly in a ride. The place where Faith, Hope and Charity died. Shoot them while he runs, boy, shoot them while you can. See if you can shoot the invisible man. Goodbye, Charity, goodbye, Uncle Sam. Frankly, Miss Scarlet, I don't give a damn. What is the truth and where did it go? Ask Oswald and Ruby Lannan, though. Shut your mouth, say it, or I'll slow down. Business is business and it's the murder most found. Tommy, can you hear me? I'm the acid queen. I'm ridin' in a long black Lincoln limousine. Ridin' in the backseat next to my wife. Headin' straight on into the afterlife. I'm leanin' to the left, got my head in a lap. Oh, Lord, I've been led into some kind of a trap. Well, we ask no quarter, no quarter do we give. Well, right down the street, from the street where you live, they mutilated his body and they took out his brain. What more could they do? They piled on the pain. But his soul was not there where it was supposed to be at. For the last fifty years, they've been searching for that. Freedom, oh, freedom, freedom of our being. I hate to tell you, mister, but only dead men are free. Send me some love and tell me no lie. Throw the gun in the gutter and walk on by. Wake up, little Susie, let's go for a drive. Cross the Trinity River, let's keep over by. Turn the radio on, don't touch the dials. Parkland Hospital, only six more miles. You got me dizzy, Miss Lizzy, you fill me with lead. That magic bullet of yours has gone to my head. I'm just a patsy like Patsy Cline. Never shot anyone from in front or behind. Got blood in my eye, got blood in my ear. I'm never gonna make it to the new frontier. Zuberous film I've seen like before. Seen it thirty-three times, maybe more. It's vile and deceitful, it's cruel and it's mean. Ugliest thing that you ever have seen. They killed him once and they killed him twice. Killed him like a human sacrifice. The day that they killed him, someone said to me, son, the age of the Antichrist has just only begun. Air Force One coming in through the gate. Johnson sworn in at 2.38. Let me know when you decide to throw in the towel. It is what it is and it's murder most foul. What's new, pussycat, what do I say? I said the soul of a nation been torn away. And it's beginning to go into a slow decay. And then it's 36 hours past Judgment Day. Wolfman Jack, he's speaking in tongues. He's going on and on at the top of his lungs.
