Duchess and the Proverbial Mind Spread

Burnin', I feel a burnin' in my stomach

I wanna know if I'm a gonna make it

If I don't just spread my ashes

If I do just spread you mind

Swimmin', I see myself a treadin' water

I see no signs of any other people

There's a heron up above me

I lay back and spread my mind

Duchess, she used to be a movie maker

She used to like to watch the boys watch her

And she saved enough money

To go to Cal and spread her mind

Billy used to follow the Dead with Arnie

And they made a hundred thousand dollars

But ended up in federal prison

Twenty years for spreading minds
