lyrics

Homeless man, what a wreck
Askin' me about Star Trek
Homeless man, what a vet
Bitchin' 'bout Vietnam
And he never hears
He only stares
And he doesn't care
'Cus he's not really there

Homeless man, what a wreck
Askin' me about Star Trek
Homeless man, what a vet
Bitchin' 'bout bein' dead
And he never hears
He only stares
And he doesn't care
'Cus he's not really there

Homeless man, what a wreck
Askin' me about Star Trek
Homeless man, what a vet
Bitchin' 'bout bein' fed
And he never hears
He only stares
And he doesn't care
'Cus he's not really there

You know what he said to me?
"I know about you Jews!"
You know what he said to me?
"I know about you Jews!"
You know what he said to me?
"I know about you Jews!"
You know what he said to me?
"I know about you Jews!"

Homeless man, took a bet
He doesn't know about it
Homeless man, wanna read?
Find a new way to bleed.
Bleedin' in the streets
Sleeps in crusty sheets
He can't be discrete
Shufflin' his feet

Homeless man, took a bet
He doesn't know about it
Homeless man, wanna read?
Find a new way to bleed.

The horses are dead.

COCKHORSE Detroit, Michigan

It sounds vulgar; like something you’d find in a relative’s house after they have passed. It gives you a horrible, horrible window into a part of their life you thought they couldn’t possibly have. Maybe it is something like that. Maybe it’s a word that popped into the English language in the 15th century. Maybe it’s a hobby horse. Why not call the band Hobby Horse? Maybe childhood was vulgar. ... more
