I salute to you Commander
And I sneeze
Cause I have now an allergy
To your policies it seems
Where have we gone wrong America
Mr. Lincoln we can't seem to find you anywhere
Out of the millions
From the desserts to the mountains
Over prairies to the shores
Is this just the madness of King George
Yo George
Is this just the madness of King George
Yo George
Well you have the whole nation on all fours

. . .



I've been on the other side
Got my lips smacked
Now they're dry
Then you
Call me
Call me in
You think I am your possession
You're messing with a Southern girl
But my recipe is on
With your stale bread
Yeah it's hot
But baby I don't need your cash
So baby maybe I'll let your
Big wheel turn my fantasy
Don't you throw your shade on me
I've been drinking down your pain
I'm gonna turn that whiskey into rain
Wash it away
Wash it away
Wash you away boy
Let's go
I've been on my knees
But you're so hard to please
Did you take me
Take me in
So you are a superstar
Get off the cross
We need the wood
Somehow you will rise
But with attitude
I know honey you're a pro
But baby I don't need your cash
Momma got it all in hand now
Big wheel turn my fantasy
Don't you throw that shade on me
I've been drinking down your pain
You go turn that whiskey into rain
Wash it away
Wash it away boy
Wash you away now
Gimme-8
Gimme-7
Gimme-6
Gimme-5
Gimme-4
Gimme-3
I-I-I am a M-I-L-F
Don't you forget
M-I-L-F
Don't you forget
M-I-L-F
Don't you forget
Baby I don't need your cash
So baby maybe I'll let your
Big wheel turn my fantasy
Don't you throw that shade on me
I've been drinking down your pain
I'm gonna turn that whiskey into rain
Big wheel turn my fantasy
Don't you throw your shade on me
I've been drinking down your pain
I'm gonna turn that whiskey into rain
I'm gonna turn your whiskey
Boy into rain
Wash you away
Wash you away boy
Wash you down
Big wheel

Bouncing off of clouds
We were
Is there a lone lost-and-found
Make it easy
Make this easy
It's not as heavy as it seems
Wrapped in metal
Wrapped in ivy
Painted in mint ice cream
We could bouncing off the top of this cloud
(I've put on my silver)
Bouncing off the top of this cloud
Failure to respond worked
I talked but did you listen
Bouncing off the top of this cloud
(I've put on my silver)
Ooh but would you say has it come to this
(I've put on my silver)
Bouncing off the top of this cloud
Well you can stare all day at the sky
But that won't bring him back
That won't bring him back
You say you're waiting on fate
But I think we decide
I think we decide
Where we take our lives
Make it easy
Easy
Easy
We could make this easy
Easy love
Easy
We could make this easy
Make this easy
It's not as heavy as it seems
Make this easy
Make this easy
It's not as heavy as it seems
Wrapped in metal
Wrapped in ivy
Big umbrellas smiling
We could bouncing off the top of this cloud
(I've put on my silver)
Ooh but would you say has it come to this
(I've put on my silver)
Bouncing off the top of this cloud
(I've put on my silver)
Ooh but would you say has it come to this
(I've put on my silver)
Bouncing off of clouds
We were

. . .



You think you can come around here
All up in his face
All up in my world
You better know
You better know
You better know-oh-oh
How much you do
How much you do
How much you do-oh-oh
You better know
You better know
You better know-oh-oh
How much you do
How much do
I'm a joke
You gotta right
You gotta right
To know
You gotta right
You gotta right
To know
Me and my teenage hustling
I've been working it since I was 14
Me and my teenage hustling
I've been working it since I was 14
Me and my teenage hustling
It's gonna save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
From your dirty dealings
You're a dirty girl
You're such a dirty girl
You better know
You better know
You better know-oh-oh
How much you do
How much you do
How much you do-oh-oh
You better know
You better know
You better know-oh-oh
How much you do
How much do
I'm a joke
Maybe the weight of this accident
Comes back to your gossip
With a ferocious strategy
You play wounded in his cockpit
But I think that you forgot
My days of teenage hustling
You better know
You better know
You better know-oh-oh
How much you do
How much you do
How much you do-oh-oh
You better know
You better know
You better know-oh-oh
How much you do
How much do
I'm a joke
You gotta right
You gotta right to know
You gotta right
You gotta right to know
You gotta right
You gotta right to know
Me and my teenage hustling
I've been working it since I was 14
Me and my teenage hustling
I've been working it since I was 14
But you've been skanking around
With your talentless trash
You only shoot blanks
At your cock-sure best
Me and my teenage hustling
Me and my teenage hustling
It's gonna save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
From your dirty dealings
Now I don't mind a dirty girl
Said I don't mind
A dirty girl
You better know
You better know
You better know-oh-oh
How much you do
How much you do
How much you do-oh-oh
You better know
You better know
You better know-oh-oh
How much you do
How much you do

. . .



It started as a joke
Just one of my lucks to see
If somehow I could reach you
So I swam onto your shores
Through an open window
Only to find you all alone
Curled up with machines
Now it seems you're slipping
Out to the land of the ravine
Just take a closer look
Take a closer look
At what it is that's really haunting you
I hear to trust you
Not this digital ghost
Look I fear there's only so much time
Cause the you I knew is fading away
Hands
Lay them on my keys
Let me play you again
I am not immune to you
And find me there and yet
I won't go even if he
Your heart only beats once
And switch you on my friend
Pull you from that wreckage
But only you can fight against these
Take a closer look
Just take a closer look
At what it is that's really haunting you
I hear to trust you
Not this digital ghost
Well I fear there's only so much time
Cause the you I knew is fading away
Fading
Fading
Fading away

. . .



Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-aye
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-aye
You can bring your dog
I got three
He can play the wolf
For the evening
If you were to get lost
Behind these lights
Ain't that a good thing
Ain't that a good thing
Ain't that a good thing
Cause I'm not making any promises
I'm not living to be the Mrs.
I'm not making any promises honey
But you still got that something
Pretty boy
You still got that something
Yes you might
You still got that something
Oh This I know
Uh this I know
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-aye
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-aye
That one fancies herself as a black lab
I hear that your old flame is a pure breed
Me I guess
You could say I'm a Siamese
Ain't that a good thing
Ain't that a good thing
Ain't that a good thing
Cause I'm not making any promises
You'll be too busy boy
To sue her for damages
I'm not making any promises honey
But you still got that something
Pretty boy
You still got that something
Yes you might
You still got that something
Oh this I know
Uh this I know
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-aye
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-aye
You can bring your dog anytime

He's a bad man
Mr. Bad Man
And she had enough of him
so the wolves try to dry her eyes
'cause the bad man made her cry

But everyday I know that
I may just be closer
to the sea of frozen words
Words that even soldiers
would lay down their swords for
And they come in every color
And flavor too doo doo doo doo
And flavor too doo doo doo doo

There's a gold star
on a gendarme
So she asked him
"Hey can you hold my song?
It's the one piece that I got left
so hide it well" she said

He's a bad man
Mr. Bad Man
And she had enough of him
so the wolves try to dry her eyes
'cause the bad man made her cry

But everyday I know that
I may just be closer
to the sea of frozen words
Words that even soldiers
would lay down their swords for
And they come in every color
And flavor too doo doo doo doo
And flavor too doo doo doo doo

. . .


"Fat Slut" you said
What luck I said
To be stuck in this happy family
Don't you dare I said
Judge me You go and
Stick It In Somewhere
I'm Sick-a hearin' it
Go Stick It In Somewhere
I'm Sick a hearing it

. . .


7 am
So it beings again
1-0 (zip) favoring familiar silhouettes
Left whips and chains
Behind I'm boycotting trends
It's my new look this season

Riding on backs of palominos
Primed for an attack
It's as good
As good as it gets
With girl disappearing
What on earth's occurring?
'cause she's right in front of me

A girl disappearing
To some secret prison
Behind her eyes she whispers
"Big surprise there was
No protection by this urban light
So I'm running to
A constellation
Where they can still see you"

Envy can spread
Herself so thinly
She slipped in
Before I could notice it

In my own war
Blood in the cherry zone
When they
Pit woman against feminist

Riding on backs of palominos
Ditching the blond shell
Working her hell
On that red carpet

With girl disappearing
What on earth's occurring?
'cause she's right in front of me

A girl disappearing
To some secret prison
But she's right in front of me
A girl disappearing
To some secret prison
Behind her eyes she whispers
"Big surprise there was
No protection by this urban light
So I'm running to
A constellation

Where they can still see you"
Then I'm running too
If that's a consolation

'cause I can still see you

. . .


In one hand dreams a plenty
In her smile a secret spell
There have been disappointments
These she knows all too well

And you losing you
Was not a part of this plan
So
Jumps at three tears at thirteen
Just turn you around for
Eighteen wheels in a high heel
Turn you around
Sold a dream at twenty three
Turn you around
Hold out
You still got your secret spell

At the heart of the matter
Someone wove a secret spell
Mixed with girl not so peaceful
Angel and animal

But me losing you
Was not a part of this plan
So

Jumps at three tears at thirteen
Just turn you around for
Eighteen wheels in a high heel

Turn you around
Sold a dream at twenty three
Turn you around
Hold out
You still got your secret spell

Girl you got to do a 180
Disappointment you know it well
But you losing you
Was not a part of this plan
So

Jumps at three tears at thirteen
Just turn you around for
Eighteen wheels in a high heel
Turn you around
Sold a dream at twenty three
Turn you around
Hold out
Hold out
You still got your secret spell
Girl you got to do a 180
'cause you still got your secret spell

. . .


Devils and Gods now that's an idea
But if we believe that its They who decide
That's the ultimate detractor of crimes
'cause Devils and Gods
They are You and I
Devils and Gods
They are You and I
Devils and Gods
Safe and Inside

. . .


Sweet Communion
Sweet Communion

I have waited all my life
You say you are bonafide
to be my judge
Lay your law down on me love

Seven devils bring them on
I have left my weapons
'cause I think you're wrong
these devils of yours they need love

Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Body and Soul Body and Soul Body and Soul

Sweet Communion
Sweet Communion
In my temple boy be warned
Violence doesn't have a home now but ecstasy
that's as pure as a woman's gold

Seven devils bring them on
I have left my weapons
'cause I think you're wrong
these devils of yours they need love

Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Body and Soul Body and Soul Body and Soul

I'll save you from that sunday sermon
Boy I think you need a conversion
Body and Soul

Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Body and Soul Body and Soul Body and Soul

. . .


Steady girl on your feet
You and your wonderings
Bread can feed a few
So can some cartoons

So it ends so it begins
I'm my father's son
Plant another seed of hate
In a trusting virgin gun

Steady girl for the show
God versus God ringside
Littered with corpses
Neither God can forgive

So the desert blooms
Strawberry cactus
Can you blame nature
If she's had enough of us

So it ends so it begins
I'm my father's son
Plant another seed of hate
In a trusting virgin gun

Stead boy watch them pray
To you I suspect
If you keep my flesh firm
I'll ready those sacraments

So it ends
So it begins
I'm my father's son
So it ends
So it begins

I'm my father's son
Plant another seed of hate
In another father's son

. . .


Think of me as programmable soda
Too much cherry?
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of me as programmable soda

'Cause you can
Can be a cruel fella
So okay, then I just back off
The vanilla

Think of me as programmable soda
'cause I've come
I've come to accept that
For lovelies you are a fanatic
But I can't
I can't let that throw me
Into a genital panic

Think of me as programmable soda
Too much cherry?
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of me as programmable soda
When you think
And boy when you drink
When you think of me

. . .


Some say that I will and some say I won't
Victory is an elusive whore
She is as easily mine
As she is yours

Slip and slide my way through this charade
I know all the players and I must say
Do this long enough
You get a taste for it

I'll do this last one and I'll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind
What you stole, I would have given freely
Code Red you're staring Code Red staring at me

Well sometimes he do and sometimes he don't
Sometimes I love myself best alone
Do this long enough
You get a taste for it

A six pack of Coke and a bottle of Jack
"whatever you do" he said "look after that," yeah well
Being trusted and lusted
It could be worse than that

I'll do this last one and I'll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind
What you stole, I would have given freely
Code Red staring Code Red staring

Come on baby I can drink you down
Then I have my job to do and do well
Since you won't give guarantees

I'll be cashing out
I'll do this last one and I'll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind
Said I'll do this last one and I'll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind

What you stole, I would have given freely
Code Red staring Code Red staring

. . .


Somewhere down past Roosterspur bridge
Perhaps just a trick of the light
I thought I heard the sweetest guitar
Was It a rock and roll jesus

Sometimes I think
I think I understand
The fear in the boy
The fire in the man
Sometimes I watch
The wonder in your eyes
That and you leaving
I have memorized
That and you leaving
I have memorized

Drove all night through Sliding Rock Falls
Thinking I'd find something that we'd lost
Can't remember when you stopped laughing
Or when I stopped wanting to win

Sometimes I think
I think I understand
The fear in the boy
The fire in the man
Sometimes I watch
The wonder in your eyes
That and you leaving

I have memorized
Do you even see me now
Do you think of us still
Do I always read things in
Before a day's deliverance
On Roosterspur bridge

Sometimes I think
I think I understand
The fear in the boy
The fire in the man
Sometimes I watch
The wonder in your eyes
That and you leaving
I have memorized
That and you leaving
That and you leaving
I have memorized

. . .


We climbed through the canopy
Only to find a crack in our gauge
The last thing a look you gave
And then we tumbled out of control
I tried to strike a deal with
The universe me and my
Deals with the universe

Smacked up side of the head
With the harsh of daylight
So simple last evening
The beauty of speed
Afraid we've been changin'
In a way I wasn't lovin'
Feel those colors changing
The beauty of speed

I'm comin' back for more
Out of a black and white world
Past a shooting star
The beauty of speed
See the colors changing

Even still I was built
To tolerate your temper-ature
It fluctuates so I must break
Through the bleak of winter
Through your latest barrier

Your latest barrier
Smacked up side of the head
With the harsh of daylight
So simple last evening
The beauty of speed
Afraid we've been changin'
In a way I wasn't lovin'
Feel those colors changing
The beauty of speed

I'm comin' back for more
Out of my black and white world
Past a shooting star
The beauty of speed
See the colors changing
See the colors changing
See the colors changing

Baby changin' I see
Afraid we've been changin'
In a way I wasn't lovin'
Feel these colors changing
The beauty of speed

. . .


Just a minute of your time
Yes I've been known to delude myself
So let me put those rose
Colored glasses to the test

Now is this real enough for you
'cause blondes here don't jump out of cakes
If that never impressed you much

Come board this lunatic express

Just why do they say
Have a nice day anyway
We both know they wouldn't mind

If I just curled up and died
Let's not give that one a try
Chin up put on a pair of these roseys
Raise those blinds
Chin up a happy mask was never
Your best disguise
Chin up put on a pair of these roseys
In no time you will feel almost fine

Almost rosey

Now some girls here will huddle with
No not footballers that are rich
But will confide in small white sticks
He bats as The Virginian Slim

Then I tried once to comply
With an authority that would
Subsidize my wild side
But at this altar was sacrificed

Yes you can laugh a femme fatale
In a bride's dress now married to
The effortlessness of the cracks
That lie now in between the facts

Now about when violet died
The cause still unidentified
She thought her love would be enough
But you can't seduce seduction

Her tentacles of endless want
Reach through my corridors
And tempt me to taste of her power
I sober with the witching hour

And when I hear of one more bomb
Yes we have all been robbed of song
And nightingales who throw their arms up
When is enough enough?

. . .


Feeling radical in Cotton
Purified in my Satin
But the bomb of the season
Is a Velvet Revolution

I look at the sky
And feel the tears of the
Prophets crying

I look at the sky
And feel the rain
The rain of tears

Feeling radical in Cotton
Purified in my Satin
But the bomb of the season
Is a Velvet Revolution

All you killers of the children
There's a new Commandment
The true Divine Creator wants a
Velvet Revolution

All you killers of the children
There's a new Commandment
The true Divine Creator wants a

Velvet Revolution

. . .


Is there a way out of this?
If there is I don't see it
Can Heaven and Hell coexist?
Not when both battle for dominance

Brush back my tears and he said "girl
We have to soldier on
Yes girl even when we don't feel strong"
So how many young men have to lay down
Their life and their love of their woman
For some sick promise of a heaven

Lies go back now to the garden
Even the four horses say all bets are off

We're on the dark side of the sun
We're on the dark side of the sun
We're on the dark side of the sun

Soon there'll be fast food on the moon
Painted in neon with For Sale signs up
You say "I'm more afraid of what
Tomorrow could bring to us"

Brushed back my tears and he said "girl
You have to soldier on
Yes girl even when you don't feel strong"

So how many young men have to lay down
Their life and their love of their woman
For some sick promise of a heaven

Bushes burn there on the mountain
Abraham and Ishmael turn back the clock

We're on the dark side of the sun
We're on the dark side of the sun

We're on the dark side of the sun

Pip I

Smokey Joe you're calling at the station,
"If I kill him there are complications"
I did not ask for this
"Oh but Love yes you did"

Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me

Pip II

It's too easy
It's too easy
To wish you harm
It's too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river

Pip I

Smokey Joe hey what's a revelation
"That one's past is not a destination
It is a road for fools
Who need empty approvals"

Pip II

My dark twin
The annihilating Feminine
Does not need
Civilizing

Pip I

Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me

Pip II

It's too easy
It's too easy
To wish you harm
It's too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river

Pip I

Smokey Joe can you pass the pipe
You have been blessed now go be wise.
"It is a coward who will say he's not afraid
Of dying when clearly he is potently alive"

Pip II

A songless robin
She became
He stole my sister Clitorides.
These silken rubber gloves
Choking his vitriolic tongue

Pip I

Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege

Pip II

It's too easy
It's too easy
To wish you harm
It's too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river

Pip I and Pip II

Smokey Joe is calling at the station
Calling at the station

Don't tell me
A woman did this to you
Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies

You touched my hand
I felt a force
You called it dark
But now I'm not so sure

Just stay awhile
Stay awhile
Stay awhile

Why don't you
Stay awhile
Stay awhile

Stay awhile

Cause your wild card Boy needs playing
Don't believe the lie
Your Dragon needs slaying
Won't you lay here with me
And I will bring
Kisses for the beast

Lay here with me
Here with me

Don't tell me
A woman did this to you
Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies

When I look back over
Documents and pages
Ancient savageries

Christened those inflated.
Now it has come to light
The Gods they have slipped up

They forgot about the power
Of a woman's love
Just stay a while
Stay awhile

Stay awhile
Why don't you
Stay awhile
Stay awhile

Stay awhile
Cause your wild card Boy needs playing
Don't believe the lie
Your Dragon needs slaying

Won't you lay here with me
And I will bring
Kisses for the beast
Lay here with me
Here with me

Don't tell me
A woman did this to you

Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies
Forgive my
Candy lies
