Текст песни 10000 Maniacs - Maddox Table
The legs of maddox kitchen tablesMy whole life twisted on a latheIn a foreman's torrentMy first english wasFaster boy if you want your payBarking commandsLoud and simpleWe could all obey( )Then I was forever pulling silversRubbed the sawdust alwaysDeeper in my eyeVarnish vapor that could lingerOn my skinIt held tightThe whine of spinning bladesStill echoes to bother my sleep at nightSee that oxStamped dead centerOn the letter head of the company mailFour decades a spitting imageOf the animal I portrayedAt maddox table a yoke was carvedFor my neckSun through the window oil spatteredAnd in mason jarsTricked plenty seeds thriveThe standing jokeAround the shop wasWith my green thumbAnything'd growMy part was to laughShow and ornery jig hadCut it at the knuckle boneSee that oxTrade mark burnedInto every stick of furnitureFrom horn to tailFour decades a spitting imageOf the animal I portrayedAt maddox table a yoke was carvedFor my neckWas tailor madeO my dolly was a weakNot a burdened girlTreat her to a piece of vaudvilleA wintergarden moving picture showBemus point on july sundaysBy trolley we'd goTo your benefit we's strike or bargainWith the waving fist a union manNot just forSmokes spirits candy and cologneBut forAutomobile keysCash in the bankAnd the deedOn a place called home
