Galvanized and Bulletproof

He's galvanized and bulletproof
Except maybe at the seams
Cut himself on a devil's tooth
And bled out all his dreams

He stole a wishbone from the warden
then used it for a shank
Went out and fired up his Norton,
Rode off with a lit rag in the tank

He's invincible, near invisible
Maybe under a voodoo hex
Unpredictable, fights bare knuckle
Walks one shadow to the next

He saves women in distress
And maidens locked in towers
He can beat Death at chess
With his divine powers

He's clairvoyant, a prophet
Contacts beings on other planes
Plays blues on Gabriel's trumpet
And broke loose Samson's chains

He flies all night on his rounds
wading through nightmares in the dark
Two steps ahead of the hellhounds
with bites much worse than the bark

He's a cloud splitter, shape shifter
All the elements at his comply
Thunderstorms under his bowler
You can tell his mood by the sky

*Music to follow
