Meat Puppets - Split Myself In Two Lyrics

psych country punk

The man laid his hat on the table
Hung his coat up on the wall
Sat down to dinner said as soon as I am able
I'll say something nice to you all

Then he took a deck from his pocket
Spread 'em so I saw 'em all
Then he turned his back to me shuffled 'em and drew me
The card that said I never would fall

Oh Mary Lou won't you tell me what to do
I got a dollar on the corner and a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer gonna split myself in two

He spun 'till a ton was glistening
Turned to me and gave me a smile
He said I'm leaving now but I want what you owe me
I'll be back in a little while

That was the last time I saw him
Hope I never see him again
I know it sounds funny but I owe him some money
And I really don't want him for a friend

Oh Mary Lou won't you tell me what to do
I got a dollar on the corner and a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer gonna split myself in two

Cowpunk, hardcore punk, noise rock, psychedelic rock, crossover thrash

That guitar, man it's fucking sick.

Kirkwood is the bomb . He was so fun to see live. God love ya Cris, Curt and derrick

Best ever. Feelin it!

I can see how they i fluence nirvana and soundgarden

Kind of reminds me of “Three Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps Please” by Splodgenessabounds

kinda sounds like the dead milkmen

Love M puppets but hate this music not good level

Really? Imo this album is one of their only good ones

Cow Punk at its finest 😎

Ever notice how this album kinda sounds like Phish....

I think the album up on the sun sounds like phish tbh

FUCK NIRVANA

This is something different for 1984. The guitarists is great!

1.17 - 1.47 - desert elevation to the power of x cloud

MEAT PUPPETS FUCKING RULE!

best song on the album

+CrueMember nah, but its a hell of an opener

Outstanding

Yea, I sometimes feel this way.

love it

I Googled Rumelstiltskin........ and it brought me here.

Love this whole album, definitely in my top 5, and most of those spots are reserved for the Grateful Dead ;)

you are weird and I totally agree.

Ick, the Grateful Bred

joodris recommend some Dead

Well yea 1984, just looked at my album. Live that many years and the ones when you were younger all become blurred together. :P

sound a little like Husker Du.

This is the song I heard on a college radio station here in NJ back in 1980 (WSOU 89.5FM) which got me introduced to The Meat Puppets. Went out bought the album and have been a fan ever since! :)
Wow....32 friggin years ago,,where the hell has the time gone????

This album didn't come out till '84.

Now this is how fucking start an album

hardcore country

Good music for most things in general.

@bloodclots99 as a "song", yes. As a composition, yes, I mean No. You should hear the first album. Try Tumbling Tumblweeds...and why youre at it, look up The Junior Chemists.

-prof. Malus Von Calculas

Whooooooooo!!!!!!!!! (pronounced "woo!")

Is this Thrash Country or is it Country Thrash?

They are still touring look for them!

@LenaLithium same here, if i mentioned the meat puppets or like the butthole surfers around my friends, theyd be like- What??

that guitar solo is orgasm

@bloodclots99 Are you fucking joking? Your shitty flash animations you uploaded are fucking horrible.

the meat puppets are such a GREAT band, why don't people recognize it....it only looks like 2,669.. have.

Really fun song to play on bass!

GR you are a GOD!!! I've been waiting for this song for so so long :D

worst song ive ever heard, i dont care about what you think, horrible...

It's not horrible, in my opinion. But hey, you do you. I think what you should understand though is that it may lack technical ability but once you strip it down to its core and look past all the bullshit associated with superficially good music, it's a really good Rock tune. It's better to have a great gift with shitty packaging than a shitty gift with great packaging.

Wow! This is so cool! Thx 4 posting...;)
