The Bridge

Who else is gonna carry you across

Who's gonna make the delivery

And why am I always burning

You know the first bridge was a fallen tree

 

So go on and do likewise ladies

Cross with some confidence

You gotta sit and wait while I'm drunk

Or you're gonna wind up in the drink

 

If the billygoat was Bootsy

And the troll was Maceo

Only the godfather of soul

Can really take you to the bridge

 

Yeah, but you can't throw it in

Your typewriter, hand glider, shifty mobster and amplifier

Yeah, but you can't throw in

Your golf clubs and bowling balls, gas heaters and bald tires

Yeah, but you can't throw it in

Microwaves and old pill bottles, video tapes with porno on them

Yeah, but you can't throw it in

Old birdcages and lame weed eaters, murder weapons and blown speakers

Yeah, but you can't throw it in

 

Who else is gonna carry you across

Who's gonna make the delivery
