Bill Callahan - The Ballad of the Hulk lyrics

Well, I've been looking back at the old ways
Over my shoulders like salt or sugar
Well, I'm just talking about the old days
Groundwork for footwork
Well, after this next song
We'll be moving along out of this vein
It's called "The Ballad of the Hulk"

You know I used to share a tailor
With David Bruce Banner that's the Hulk
Traveling jackets and traveling bags
Future rags
And shoes good for walking highways
But never quite far enough away
To see how good and easy it could be
If I just got angry but, I never got angry
Maybe I should have
I could have cleared some things away
In those old Bill Bixby days
A master of Reiki waved his hands over me
And said I eat too much steak
And hold on too long to ancient aches
And both are so hard on my heart
Oh, I try to be a good person
I wonder if it's annoying or worth pursuing
And pursuing and pursuing
Down highways at the risk of the road
