Lyrics:
XXI
What holds the vulture pinned up to the sky?
What’s the big deal with ‘em & “U” & “I”?
What makes you loaded & canned & high?
What tare weight’s left when we rest our heads to die?
No one
No one’s ever gonna get
Anything
Yet
No one
No one’s ever gonna get
Anything
Yet
No one
No one’s ever gonna get
Anything
Yet
No one has said
Anything yet
What holds the vulture pinned up to the sky?
What’s the big deal with ‘em & “U” & “I”?
What makes you loaded & canned & fly high?
What tare weight’s left when we rest our heads to die?
No one.
No one’s ever gonna get
Anything
Yet
No one has said
Anything yet.
21 – I say
21 grams slightly slipped through the quantum-ether
21 came & 21 went over yonder
On the run up the wind rose
21 all so close, served in a tin dose
21 equals the fish
My House
Two eyes over yonder
Blank casualty
Tree thieves are stuffin’ plunder
Into the sandbank’s leak
And split it in two/two
Well yeah, and in my House
The Alphas stay out.
The Alphas stay out in my House.
They’re in my House…
True Love - All guaranteed
These crooked fingers
They’ll bleed for you
I’m so cut up in the mid
But I don’t feel it a-bit
Roll easy
Rock cold comfort
Put a lock to your head
Caress, care less
I’ll drag you to your bed
Well, It’s in my House…
In my House…
A true love guarantee
These crooked fingers
Will bleed for you
I’m so cut up in the mid
But I don’t feel it a-bit.
Well,
Go ahead and call me a liar
And a thief.
But I got that strange desire
I can’t release.
My soul is fading
My bloody soul is fading away
And I’m locked up in a maze
With the mind down in the haze
What is wrong with me?
I don’t get a slight idea
But you should put all your love away
And hide it in a cage
...Ain’t No Golden Horse
Love is dead
Thanks goddess
Love is dead
They broke the bone
Shook the head
Cut the tail
Took a tape
And fixed the skull
My baby is red
So awfully red‐hot
And if I ever get stuck
And in all kinds of weather...
My baby bounces with me
Straight hand out
Well she is on the prowl
I’ll let her howl out loud
My baby bounces with me
A straight handout
Well she is on the prowl
I’ll let her howl out loud
Is it true that you love ordinary men?
Or why do you mess with them?
My baby bounces with me
Straight hand out
Well she is on the prowl
I’ll let her howl
My baby bounces with me
Straight hand out
Well she is on the prowl
I’ll let her howl out loud
Static static white wild fire
Atlas shrugged
Come settle down with me
Right out the lung
And the blood and the bone
My Discolith
And my coccolith
Howling from the east
Howling from the west
Right ahead
Go, curse it or
Kill it
Come on
Because we got no other cause
On our mind
But to collide
Right?
Right!
Howling out the east
Howling out the west
Last Level: Redemption
Who?
Well, who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
You could bring the whole Holy Roman Empire to war,
Or ask the people and the senate of Rome
Whether they want some – Call for the S.P.Q.R.
But you
No, you won’t make it far.
We will smoke you like cigars.
Well, your great baptism
Comes sailin’ away
Riding big nave on a lake.
Your proxy baptism’s celebrating in the ghost tower
We’re ridding flaming ships on the lake of fire.
The lake of fire.
The fruit – sweet fruit and jewels – the fruit’s off the cellars.
The fruit – sweet fruit and jewels – the fruit’s off the cellar.
There is no hunger
Like the hunger of heart
There is no sorrow
Like the sorrow of separation
There is no fire
Like the fire of passion
Do you trust in your possessions?
Or your fears and attachments?
There is no joy
Like the joy of freedom
It’s just what you do
Just me
And you
