Joe Louis

I've climbed the mountain
And I've pissed into the wind
Stood on the edge and spat over
With cheeks burned on the tip of the bone
Staggering home to a lover

Did your lazy good for nothing
Soldiers cast their cynical spell?
Are they yawning down below you
Smoking mouths in the circle of hell

Joe Joe Joe Louis
How does it feel to be
Joe Joe Joe
Open your beautiful blue eyes
Joe Louis

You are my darkness, my shelter
My knowledge, my cradle and my sense
And though you may not always
Trail clouds of glory
One day I hope to know what it meant
To see you tower above me
Silver and grey against the blue
Instantly innocent, forever damned
Enjoy your days they’re precious and few

Joe Joe Joe Louis
How does it feel to be
Joe Joe Joe
Look at you beautiful
Tell us what you’re thinking Joe

Joe Joe Joe Louis
How does it feel to be
Joe Joe Joe
Open your beautiful blue eyes
Joe Louis

Take a deep breath
Open those eyes
