Man Named Truth
Bright Eyes

Don't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnDon't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnI'll tell you right now that it ain't no usenDon't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnnPain was hunting me down but I gave him the slipnI left the city through a tunnel and I headed for the skidsnWith a-rain or oil in the morphine dripnPain was a-hunting me down but I gave him the slipnnAnd I fell in love with identical twinsnAnd there's thirty-four summers between the two of themnI gave one my ego, I gave one my idnYeah, I got to get back to my pretty little twinsnnDon't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnDon't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnI'll tell you right now that it ain't no usenDon't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnnI was lost for a year in those almond treesnThe sun was rising in the south and setting in the eastnI was a half awake, I was half asleepnI thought I'd never get out of those almond treesnnAnd don't think too slow in circling the sunnYou'll get buried alive when the caterpillar comesnTapping your time on congo drumsnJust don't think too slow in the circling sunnnI met a black-skinned man with an ice cream grinnAnd a blonde afghan with some heroinnAnd we moved to the mountains where the highway endsnAnd I got myself that ice cream grinnnSo don't search too hard for that Aztec goldnWell, like old Cortez, you'll lose your soulnTurn an honest man into DiablonYeah, don't trade your soul for no Aztec goldnnDon't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnDon't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnYou look in my eyes, you can (and you'll) see the proofnDon't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnnDon't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnDon't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnnDon't ever buy nothing from a man named TruthnDon't ever buy nothing from a man named Truth
