Roky Erickson - Can't Be Brought Down lyrics

I was buried in a red man's Dan band

And the ants were tearing and pulling at my head

When I thought that I would be better off dead

So I decided to have this torture said



Well I found, yes I found, I just can't be brought down

I found, yes I found, I just can't be brought down

I can't try brand like peoples

Texas fever can't bring me around



Look like I was headed straight

For a championship tidal wind and tidal wave

It looked like I was going straight

For an earthquake an earthquake

Someone called out for me

To live underground you must be a mole

But like I always do to despair

I fill it full of holes



Well I found, yes I found, I just can't be brought down

I found, yes I found, I just can't be brought down

I can't try brand like peoples

Texas fever can't bring me around



My eyeballs were wooden vices until tears fell like rain

My eyeglasses were clamps which caused me great pain

I was butted, gutted, false interpretation propaganda I do not need

When I decided to make a minus, minus before minus

In other words what proceed



Well I found, yes I found, I just can't be brought down

I found, yes I found, I just can't be brought down

I can't try brand like peoples

Texas fever can't bring me around



Well I found, yes I found, I just can't be brought down

I found, yes I found, I just can't be brought down

I can't try brand like peoples

Texas fever can't bring me around
