Lyrics:
With sheets of silk in between
Well, anyway, that's how it seemed
I thought I wanted to marry him
His face was sculpted by God
His words were
In a corner by the square
The drinks were served as usual
And a goodly crowed was there
On my left stood Joe McKenney
His eyes blood shot and red
He
at night, tossing and turning
Underneath his pleated quilt protector, tears welling in his eyes as he
Pictured Marsha, her sworn vows overcome by liquor
tossing and turning
underneath his pleated quilt protector, tears welling in his eyes as he
pictured Marsha, her sworn vows overcome by liquor
clad in black
As day gives way to darkness
Her sorrow masked by onyx veil
Beneath the shades of pale
Fragrances
Carried by the winds of old
Petrichor
Requiems serenade
Chariots carrying
All who fall from grace
Hang hallowed halos
Where shallow graves grow
Too old to die young
So dammed hard
Fallen
beyond the stillness of the phantom cathedrals of black marble and stone
stood below everlasting grey skies, unchanged by the passing of each
by desire to be driven
By the third nail
And somewhere on my walk I´m
Bound to pick myself up
But if you give me your
Hand I´ll be eternally grateful
gives what one gets
Oh I didn't go out into this world
Just to get stung by rich mans hornets
Who amongst us has left these things undone
Who let
You ought to know by now
Love is the look in my eye
Lovin' the way you smile
When I say
"I wish you would stay"
You bring out all the youth
a game, and work was a shame,
And pain was prevented by pleasure.
The world, cold and grey, was so far away
In the distance only money could measure.
love
I venerate sex
Millionnaire passion
Funeral march high composer
The macabre requiem of the nation
Carnal vices, multiple sins of the flesh
Inspired
pride in labor
was there flood and fire
dreams we weave don't last forever
do you recall
a time before the malls went up
down by the falls
it's
goal, fortune and gain
The dead should rise but they
Turn in open groves
For their war torn requiems
Against the grain set concrete
Like to believe that
This is what you give me to work with?
Well, honey, I've seen worse.
We're gonna turn this sow's ear
Into a silk purse.
We'll have you washed
Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talkin' to some rich folk that you know
Well I hope that you won't see me in my
When you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to those rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
subliminals
See, all my life I was raised
By a lot of criminals
So all I know is scratching
My pistols and my genitals
Picture this: picking kicks out
Of Foot
subliminals
See, all my life I was raised
By a lot of criminals
So all I know is scratching
My pistols and my genitals
Picture this: picking kicks out
Of Foot
then you get to serenade (woo)
Croc' loafers, long sleeves, silks be tailor made (boss)
Black chauffeurs who open to doin' anything (yeah)
It's
theories
Concealed indictments handed to the grand jury
Get some money now, you hated by your own kind
The home invasion done by niggas in your bloodline
diamonds
For a love beyond all keeping
And you caught them one by one
In a million silk bandannas that I gave you long ago
Michelangelo
theories
Concealed indictments handed to the grand jury
Get some money now, you hated by your own kind
The home invasion done by niggas in your bloodline
Some are silk and some are leather
They're the faces of the stranger
But we love to try them on
Well, we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
