Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I went down to dock number ten
To see what just came in
They seemed a little bit mysterious
I think I'm gonna get delirious
[Verse 2]
I got nailed in a raid last night
They tryna haul me off to jail
Things were looking kind of serious
Till everybody get delirious
[Verse 3]
I fell into a hand of cards
And almost blew the night away
Things were looking kinda furious
Till everybody get delirious
[Verse 4]
I overloaded and I saw the light
Decadence was on my mind
Everything was getting ridiculous
Till everybody get delirious
Written by: Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill, Frank Beard
