about

Tuning: DADGAD (capo III). Written while visiting Los Angeles in the spring of 1997 after visiting Frank Zappa's studio with a woman who had previously worked for the Zappas. It's a poem set to music about the dark side of manifest destiny.

lyrics

"Strait of Gibraltar"
©Tathata Music (ASCAP)

Chanting out aloud
Silent one in a crowd.
Four horsemen, three dog
Poison toad, bump on a log.

Out across open sky
Heaven's gate, hell's fly.
Four horsemen, three dog
Poison toad, bump on a log.

Set out sail with my bread and my ale
Through the Strait of Gibraltar.
Just a man on the move.

Old gold in the hills
Red rum, speed kills.
Four horsemen, three dog
Poison toad, bump on a log.

Set out sail with my bread and my ale
Through the Strait of Gibraltar.
Just a man on the move.

Dead words in the hood
Lip service, Hollywood.
Four horsemen, three dog
Poison toad, bump on a log.

Listening all around
Screaming eagle, not a sound.
Four horsemen, three dog
Poison toad, bump on a log.

Set out sail with my bread and my ale
Through the Strait of Gibraltar.
Just a man on the move.
