Misfits

Misfits" written by Neil Young. Recorded by Neil Young and Waylon Jennings providing harmony and guitar on Neil's 1985 album "Old Ways"...lyrics...

Up in that new space station, living Kennedys dream
There was an automatic camera, shooting Elephantine
While the crew was relaxing, before the video screen
Watching old reruns, of Mohammad Ali
Voice of Houston calling, brought them back to the sea
And said the sky is falling, do you know what that means

Out on that Texas sidewalk, through the hotel mezzanine
There walked a see through hooker, to a suite with two teens
But by the elevator, she began to sneeze
With an attack so uncontrollable, it brought her to her knees
And then the hotel doctor, with nurse and stethoscope
Announced the worst is over, but for her there is no hope

Way down in South Dakota, on the Needles Highway
Theres a lone red rider, on the road today
And though his war is over, hes fighting on anyway
Although hes seldom sober, hes drinking whiskey all the way
Down in that old box canyon, where only misfits can go
He rides with no companion, but saloon and rodeo

Up in that new space station, living Kennedys dream
There was an automatic camera, shooting Elephantine
While the crew was relaxing, before the video screen
Watching old reruns, of Mohammad Ali
Voice of Houston calling, brought them back to the sea
And said the sky is falling, do you know what that means
