Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I've been stuffed in your pocket for the last hundred days When I don't get my bath I take it out on the slaves So grease up your baby for the ball on the hill Polish them rockets now and swallow those pills And say ohSpace Lord mother mother There's a car in the field now in a column of flame With two doors to choose but only one bears your name You been drinkin' my blood while I been lickin' your wounds Well I'll shave off the pitch now and the scope of your tune You'll sing oh, Space Lord mother mother I left my throne a million miles away I drink from your tit and sing the blues every day Give me the strength to split the world in two now Yeah I ate all the rest and now I've gotta eat you Milking my nightmares and using my name You're stabbing my cortex when you know I'm insane I'm squeezed out in hump-drive and I'm drowning in love Encompass immortal position above And say oh, Space Lord mother mother Space Lord mother mother Space Lord mother mother Space Lord mother mother Space Lord mother mother I lost my soul when I fell to earth My planets call me to the void of my birth The time has come for me to kill this game Now open wide and say my name Space Lord mother mother Space Lord mother mother Space Lord mother mother Space Lord mother mother
