The HooDoo

With half a chance in a forgotten land
I looked for facts that I could understand
The coding talk was all I got
Wanna find the beaters and get them to stop

The hoodoos, the trash little hoodoos
They had my teardrops right from the start
Pretty soon I'll read and know
The trash ending so slow

There were telepathic telegrams
Of sports scores and Charlie Chan
But not a poem and not a word
About the facts of life, the lies I heard

Just hoodoos, the trash little hoodoos
They had my teardrops right from the start
The aching, arching back bеnds low
Lifting up a heavy load

We hope thеre's symbols buried in our signs
We hope there's meaning left in our times
Like on tomorrow the things we say
Will take the place and wash away

The hoodoos, the trash little hoodoos
The words that grab you and burn out your heart
Pretty soon I'll read and know
The trash ending so slow
