Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
In the corner of the morning in the past I would sit and blame the master first and last All the roads were straight and narrow And the prayers were small and yellow And the rumour spread that I was aging fast Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping By a tree And I looked and frowned and the monster was me Well, I said hello and I said hello And I asked, why not, and I replied, I don't know So we asked a simple black bird, who was happy as can be And he laughed insane and quipped Kahlil Gibran And I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through For I realized that God's a young man too Ho Oh I said so long and I waved bye-bye And I smashed my soul and traded my mind Got laid by a young bordello Who was vaguely half asleep For which my reputation swept back home in drag And the moral of this magic spell Negotiates my hide When God did take my logic for a ride (Riding along) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips And showed me the leather belt round his hips My knees were shaking my cheeks aflame He said you'll never go down to the Gods again (Turn around, go back) He struck the ground a cavern appeared And I smelt the burning pit of fear We crashed a thousand yards below I said do it again, do it again (Turn around, go back) His nebulous body swayed above His tongue swollen with devil's love The snake and I, a venom high I said do it again, do it again (Turn around, go back) Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply And I was seething, breathing deeply Spitting sentry, horned and tailed Waiting for you, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
