Lyrics
I flew around the world
All the way from East Kentucky
In a split pea shell
I was chewing on a soda cracker
She was chewing on some chewing tobacco
In a split pea shell
The moon's on fire (the bird's in the cage)
The dogs all bark, yeah (the band don't play)
Heaven knows, it's cruel little girl
Katie, Katie Cruel
I've been feelin fine
Ever since my execution
I'm livin in my own abyss
Away from the miracle weapon
Away from the revolution
Waitin' on a phatom's kiss
The moon's on fire (the bird's in the cage)
The dogs all bark, yeah (the band don't play)
The yard's on fire (the inmates scream)
I'm leavin tonight (up the split pea stream)
Heaven know, it's cruel little girl
Katie, Katie Cruel
The moon's on fire (the wind's in the grave)
The clocks are tickin (the trumpet plays)
The bells are ringing (and all things smash)
The ponies roar (the planets crash)
Heaven knows a cruel little girl
Heaven knows it's cruel
Katie is a cruel little girl
Katie, Katie Cruel
