Take A Long Line Lyrics

He was selling postcards from a paper stand

a whiskey bottle in his withered hand

he put a finger on a photo from an old magazine

and saw himself in the shadow of his dream

They found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown

told him his feet stank and took him downtown

called him agitator, spy and thief

shut him up in solitary third degree

take a long line, reel him in

He tried to appeal to the king of might Angels, The - Take A Long Line - http://motolyrics.com/angels-the/take-a-long-line-lyrics.html

he said "I'm just excercising my sacred right"

the king he said "You ain't got no rights

you're a madman, a traitor, get outta my sight"

take along line, reel him in

They put him aboard a well wound whirlwind

pulled out his teeth and rold him to grin

he gave them a smile, pulled out a bottle of wine

and said "I never existed, you've been wasting your time"

take a long line, reel him in
