Kris Kristofferson - Hellacious acres (A star is born, 1976) video free download

scene from "A star is born" (1976)

"Admission's free, you pay to get out..." Nasty and mean... but maybe telling the truth??... Love the song though. And I'm happy to know that Kris would never treat his own audience this way :-) He says "Thank you!" after EVERY song instead. And I'm happy that he quit drinking after this movie. Probably that saved his life.

Hellacious Acres

(Kenneth Lee Ascher/ Paul H. Williams)

Look who's advertising

Billboards everywhere

"see hellacious acres

Your tailor made nightmare"

Traffic is backed up for miles

Attendants welcome you with devilish smiles

Steady ... steady ...

Have your tickets ready

Steady ... steady ...

Go to hell

After dark

It's a sin filled city

An amusement park

It's a one way ticket to the other side

It's a Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde

See Lizzie Borden, she's one of the stars

And tricky dicky barkin'

Flashin' you his pardon

Jack the ripper slashin' your tires

Even the devil needs money

To cover his overhead

That's why he opened hellacious acres

Or so his press agent said

Hang out with heavies

Your partners in crime

Forget the consequences, have a good time

Steady ... steady ...

Have your tickets ready

Steady ... steady ...

Go to hell

After dark

It's a sin filled city

An amusement park

It's a one way ticket to the other side

It's a dr. jekyll and a mr. hyde

Get down and study suspicion and doubt

At hellacious acres

Listen mischief makers

Admission's free you pay to get out.
