On the banks of the river where its rank make you shiver when you see what washes up another unidentified figure/ Go figure that n’ slither back To where the hell that you came from then try to picture blacked out backgrounds Stack house burned down/ Turn ‘round Daddy needs a new pair of shoes and a new paramedic for this bruise scared pathetic from the news/ who’s that Looking in my mirror/ close your eyes, hold your breath and he won’t hear ya The dead take a few steps nearer to the animated afterlife They bled their sacrifice while alley cats Round up scraps of dead rats n’ pass the dice; disaster strikes Have a nice never no more/ tonight’s the night the light severs cold wars Like stiletto’s so pure
Two Nights Three Days No Dirt They Tell Me That Dirt Pays
Rollin’ with a stolen cart hold my cards heavy cause I know them sharks in the oceans dark Waiting for some fresh meat to pull apart Watching the souls depart from the old folks home to children on the boulevard nothing but new bones to scar/ Face down, They race ‘round the playground like greyhounds how you keep ‘em safe and sound? The day drowns in bulletspray sounds/ Walking on needles, pins, syringe for the ego’s end/ you don’t need no friends/ I watch evil sins blend with the people’s trends/ The heat rolls in Ain’t a goddamn thing you can do about once it get in/ better make it your best friend You rock a shit-eating grin/ Now what’s so funny ‘bout a man that gotta choose between what’s right and money? Go hug tight your honey/ up-right and grumpy Bloodtype is touchy nocturnal up nights avoid sunlight I’m hungry so I’m hunting/ One thing done lead to a big Brickwall fuck a pitfall how’m I gonna get stuck and sit stalled with nothing but a rickshaw Five wooden nickels in my tip jar They throw me change for banging on a guitar while rollin’ by in big cars/ they must think that its hard/ But its no harder than rats chasin’ cheddar with go getter’s who know better n’ roll clever go stroke the gold lever Might hit the jackpot but Most likely I’m a see you back on the blacktop thinking you never seen a sweeter thing than asphault/ That’s all fine If you don’t mind walking a line between visionary and blind man holding up signs That’s not the wind blowin’ you down You down the line/ you bound to find what they diggin’ out down in the mines Come rain, come shine, come hell or highwater I think I oughta but they tell me why bother/ might find me when the tide wash up
Two Nights Three Days No Dirt They Tell Me That Dirt Pays
Can’t think straight walk with a heavy heavy heart Broke down stripped for spare parts
