Lyrics:
Lived my life you would
Trapped in the system my past is my shadow
They look at me like I ain't half of an adult
My bars are my ammo
Trying to be calm
to laugh
Sippin' on a scotch and soda
A shadow in the corner booth
So philosophic and drunk on grown-up truth.
Half-forgotten fragments
Of a high school
your struggle
And I'll take your soul for a toy
After rubbing my eyes
I looked all around me
At the half-finished drivel I'd worked on for days
the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow
When I grab you by the hand, you hesitate
With the subtle inclination to tell a man straight
Your sister was a savior and your mother is a saint
Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour, I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace
Dying embers warm my face
could find the pieces
Now he sees from a broken mirror
Excruciating pain and terror
With ego we can continue
Gray sky no shadow
Chorus
Standing in
these years nor the tears nor the fears amount to half of the cheers that I felt when I met her
Yeah I knew her I was pleased.
Wanea was a woman who was
Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace
Dying embers warm my face
In this
to do to send
The river in reverse
Every man a crawling kingsnake
Every girl a half a heartbreak
Every woman sold into shame
To any son without
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
woman and man
God bless the God, lay these Streets wall to wall
It go, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yo, you got popped like a flick by that rivalry clique
It
It hurts me mind you in the dark
Come outside and play the spark
Ragged enzyme for the shows
Half smiles of the decomposed
I know
Fit me into
I think about you woman all the time
Twenty-four seven yeah you're on my mind
Never seen a girl look so fine
C'mon baby show me just a sign
With her
my heart broken by this woman named Tammy
But hoes gon’ be hoes, so I couldn’t blame Tammy
Just talked to moms, told her she the sweetest
I beat
been
Now I'm broken
And I'm fading
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have
What's left of me
I've been dying inside
Little by
That the bottom half of his face half-grown a beard
Really
Come in he said
It's cooler in here
Take a pew
He laughed
His moustache was stained brown by
handle
John Henry raised it back 'til it touched his heels then
The spike went through the cross-tie and split it half in two
Thirty-five cents a day for
Standing in the shadow of your father's spine
The curve seems almost flat
No wonder that you didn't hear the riots tonight
As you're smothered by
The conscious of the man who shot kennedy
The shadow goverments lead consultant team
And we been plotting for some centuries
Getting ready for the grand reveal
I
Hear whispers spelling me not to breath
No way out, not for me
Different shapes of every size
Dancing in my brain
Half afraid half insane
On a tightrope
misses me
U said imagine a big scissor
Cuttin' the thread in half
Hush
Kissed by the night king
Dark morning in the west-wing
It ain't goin' away
Ken
of the Corkscrew King
See him pour a jet of wine across a concubine
See him try in vain to plunge the corkscrew in
See him eat sashimi from a naked woman's breast
He was in his room, half awake, half asleep
The walls of the room seem to alter angles
Elongating and shrinking alternately
Then twisting
