The Dying Oilman Lyrics

I could be good, maybe I'm crazy
I could be good, maybe I'm mad
I could be good, don't get in my way
Because I could be good, but I'm bad

(Coughing) Ugh...
I never thought it be like this. (coughing) I just- I just figured it'd be a brand new El Dorado every year from now on. Aw, who is this guy in the mirror? He looks so weak and pasty...

I always wanted to take little Sam to see that Sphinx statue over there in Egypt

I still don't like the idea of that guy over in Denver firefloodin' on my field. Asshole's so dumb he wouldn't know a pisspot from a kumquat. (coughing) Ugh... God, he could cost me a thousand barrels a day out of that field

Always wanted to see all that stuff they got over there in Europe, and take little Sam and Earline both

Oh, God, I need a smoke. (coughing) Don't seem like one little smoke would matter that much now... I gotta go back for more of them treatments tomorrow

Green. The whole goddamn place is green. But... but it ain't grass green, or money green, It's puke green, or pus green. And it's- it's the kind of green I feel like when I'm there, like a bug about to be squished

I just- I just know Earline would love to see that Eiffel Tower over there in France. I think maybe she even has a poster about it in her room...
