Nebakenezer - The Black Crowes

Nebakanezer never knew

He left his needle outside in the rain

And it rusted through

He kept twenty nine blackbirds

But only one flew

Spent most of his time making holes

And licking his wounds

Nebakanezer lost his wife

She took her diamond rings

And was gone before the light

She left one satin shoe and a very dull knife

She left one satin shoe and a very dull knife

So tell us what the sorry singer might do

All of his friends complain that they got the flu

They ain’t sick in the head

They look like the living dead and that’s not cool
