there was a time when your life was simple, you’d never guess what you’ve been missing a little vis de jois dissolving into fire, to make your life worth living again so get back to the barn, yeah, and work it out- that’s a fine hole you’ve been digging with a piece of mind you can learn to fly, and take your rightful measure on and on in a dance of destiny well, my complexities are finding me all I want is a taste of that alchemy but everywhere you go it’s worth its weight in gold get with the times, man, don’t make no difference but it’s the reason why you’re grieving you’d better redefine your wastes of time and make that life worth living again so get back to the barn, yeah, and work it out- your prison’s only what you’re dreaming so take your heed and fly, you know the reasons why- they’re gonna kick your ass forever ch but there’s a thief outside the door and this belief, it divides us all oh no, oh where to go, when the wise start thinking wiser things? on and on in a dance of destiny well, my complexities are fine to me all I want is a taste of that alchemy but everywhere you go…

without a piss to give, I’d settle for a little bit but I’m measured in motivation all my mercy could beckon defeat on the backs of my fallen brothers another wall, another fool’s divide- kick it down, oh kick it down take a look around, there’s nothing more to hide- kick it down, as far as it goes better out than in; go make a living off the offal I’m out of words with all my might with seven days to live, I’ve gathered all my baggage, all my shit, and all my naked hope another wall, another fool’s divide- kick it down, oh kick it down take a look around, there’s nothing more to hide- kick it down, as far as it goes

well, some men were born to lead, and some men were born to fight sometimes the trouble appears, and sometimes you’re put to the fire but then out of the pack jumps big dumb Steve- all 300 pounds of gooney steel and he ain’t got time for this- he’s gonna set things straight well, some men are given to fly, and some men are dead on arrival sometimes the hitch is a wheel, and sometimes the brake is a throttle then out of the pack jumps big dumb Steve- all 300 pounds of gooney steel and he ain’t got time for this, he’s gonna set things straight and when fists meet faces, man, you ain’t got a prayer could it be that the point of turn has come? seems to me that the better man has won let me try and break it down for you, cuz: big dumb rides with us well every gang I’ve ever seen from the Dead Tims down to the GDP coulda benefitted from a brick shithouse like Steve every gang needs a guy in the back who’ll step to the front the first sign of attack and that role was made for a knuckle-sponge like Steve but then out of the pack jumps big dumb Steve- all 300 lbs of gooney steel and he ain’t got time for this, he’s gonna set things straight and when fists meet faces, man, you ain’t got a prayer

well now, what are we missing? I’m no better at this but there’s a reason why I’ve found the door well now, how’s the patient? too far gone to save so grab your wrecking bar and smash it all to kingdom come head down, keeping it underground; rat-living it up for just a little while hands up, nobody make a sound- got Buddy waiting in the Caddy now gear down, somebody rang the bell- round’s over, take your fuckin corner now man up, drop the clutch and burn- I’ll overtake ‘em at the quarter mile well now, what have we here? what’s your state of resistance? all the times I’ve been denied those things I crave without hesitation- state your designation I can’t find the pieces, but I’ll make it out of what I got head down, keeping it underground; rat-living it up for just a little while hands up, nobody make a sound- got Buddy waiting in the Caddy now gear down, somebody rang the bell- round’s over, take your fuckin corner now man up, drop the clutch and burn- I’ll overtake ‘em at the quarter mile one night of hell, four years of calm oh might as well bare your animal

we fit better than most hearts; stuck like glue from the very start and there ain’t no coming apart, now- two of a kind, just peas in a pod and is it so hard to believe we’re in perfect harmony? is it so hard to believe I could be your everything? you just get me the most, I’ve always been such an awkward guy and here’s you coming along, now- smoothing me out and lifting me higher is it so hard to believe we’re in perfect harmony? is it so hard to believe I could be your everything? it’s up and away since we decided there ain’t nothing to keep us from trying and all the stars are multiplying since we found our way
7.
I’ve been down and broke, but I’m on the wheels again it’s a long-shot pisspot, I don’t miss much- I’m top of the line another pointed reason to burn the way you came it’s a non-stop hit mob, back to the sweat shop- I’m backing away you can’t run forever on a pocket full of change nothing but blue sky now, and I’m begging for the rain you’re gonna get back to the blues I might be a better man, better in all the ways well there ain’t no stopping, ain’t no coppin out, ain’t no battle won but I’ve had the worst of the best you believe, man, I’m back in the well another pointed reason to burn the way you came ‘cause it’s a non-stop shitbox, rocking the puke spots- I’m counting the days you can’t go forever on a pocket full of change nothing but blue sky now, and I’m begging for the rain you’re gonna get back to the blues I might be a better man, better in all the ways

pacified, double time, committed for your life- could it be any better? take a ride, paradroid. how many have you tried to fuel the oblation? a man in the stair… forget the man instead and face your, fascia, father- run it’s the way you wield your simian nature that makes you so hard to suffer add a vice for a price, come back any time- could it be any better? outside, verified. how many of you try to consume the oblation? a man in the stair… forget the man instead and face your, fascia, father- run it’s the way you wield your simian nature that makes you so hard to suffer I can’t take anymore

lente, baby 03:10
slow down, baby. what’s your hurry? we’ve got the time to do this right you need learnin’, but you’re still burning we might not be there, but we’re on our way on flowers in the shade, the birds in serenade we left our bodies on the ground long ago whoa now, lente, baby- take a sec to catch your breath it’s so much sweeter when the tide ebbs and flows no point in rushing things- lie back, absorb the moment until we pick it up again oh now, baby, my pretty baby it’s almost time to say good night from good intentions to sloppy seconds you’re irresistible and who could deny? on flowers in the shade, the birds in serenade we left our bodies on the ground long ago whoa now, lente, baby- take a sec to catch your breath it’s so much sweeter when the tide ebbs and flows no point in rushing things- lie back, absorb the moment until we pick it up again

look at everyone, lost in their own way I’m outside with the beggar you’re a simple one, happy in your cage roll around in your litter lo, my open sore; soon my scar forever more I’ve been trod down, beat back, tied up, left for dead and black pieces never coming back- sowing lightning oh, my precious war, evermore you’re a meddling one, in your own way stop making it better stole the apple cart and pissed it all away but it’s not like I’m bitter lo, my open sore; soon my scar forever more I’ve been trod down, beat back, tied up, left for dead and black pieces never coming back- sowing lightning oh, my precious war, evermore
11.
what to make of what passes for reason? it’s sold for meat in a butcher’s fate the more you make of the lesser among us now- we’re so many times broken back and forth with you- lack of fear I know. take a fall and let yourself go bow down and play dumb forever- they’ll suffer too but it doesn’t know what’s coming down oh, so far so good there’s a break in the pastoral season, it’s overtaken, it’s overgrown you might relate to the lesser among us now that we’re so many times broken back and forth with you- lack of fear I know. take a fall and let yourself go bow down and stay dumb forever- they’ll suffer too chorus hey hey- there’s no reason hey hey- it’s a shitshow
