Kerosene Man - Steve Wynn

Once I was down in the promised land

In a borrowed tent with a caravan

The leader of the pack stuck out his hand

He said, «Pleased to meet you

I’m the Kerosene Man»

And I jump and run and steal the show

Where it’s heading I don’t know

When these things get out of hand

Look out baby, it’s the Kerosene Man

Three day bender with Ray Milland

Scotch and soda and candied yams

Things they were getting out of hand

Ray was dancing with the Kerosene Man

And I jump and run and steal the show

Where it’s heading I don’t know

When these things get out of hand

Look out baby, it’s the Kerosene Man

Me and Mickey Mantle and Stan the Man

Were talking about a kid we couldn’t understan

He batted .360 in Birmingham

Got fooled by a curveball by the Kerosene Man

And I jump and run and steal the show

Wher it’s heading I don’t know

When these things get out of hand

Look out baby, it’s the Kerosene Man

Chinese food in Alabama

I was looking at the menu, according to plan

Ate too much moo goo gai pan

Had one more dream about hte Kerosene Man

And I run and jump and steal the show

Where it’s heading I don’t know

When these things get out of hand

Look out baby, it’s the Kerosene Man
