Earthling Complete Lyrics Archive

B i o g r a p h y
(by Tripnotic)

Another Band from Bristol, also friends of Portishead (some songs on "Radar" contain some additional work by Geoff Barrow) and quite similar to them. Most of their songs are with vocals by rapper Mau and some with an awesome female voice of Moni. After their debut LP "Radar" in 1995 it became quiet about this band. Rapper Mau collaborated with two other bands after that ("Cuba" and "Dirty Beatniks"). The third member of Earhtling, Andy Keep, has just released the debut LP of his new Project called "Ming".

I know who I am
I'm not who you think I am

I know who I am
I'm not who you think I am

I know who I am
I'm not who you think I am

I know who I am

I'm rock
I'm roll
Nat King Cole
Schatzakovic drowning in a fish bowl
Earthling something you can never get a hold of
Baby took a load off
And then she strolled off
Whistling
Hummin'
Thumbin' a ride
"Driver won't you take me to the other side?"
I'm a book
A poem
By Leonard Cohen
Son of the dice man
And I won't stop throwing
I'm Boris Karloff
The man they could not hang
I'm a ruffneck romantic
Talkin' that slang
I'm Jesus Christ superstar
Driving around in an old yellow car
I'm jumping on the balcony
Landing on a bigger man
I can fly
I fly to Japan
Hail stones falling on my dreads
Reminding me of something Hendrix said

Tunes from the room
Come back on many levels
Sounds from the earthling swing and dishevel
I'm Pollyana in the way that I portray
Poo poo
La la
I kiss you on a good day

Hey little beetle
Sliding in my bath
When you flip on your back
You really make me laugh
I used to kill worms when I was a kid
Like Mr. Mclaren, someday I'll kill Sid
Crazy how my girl wants a simple life
She's a simple schizophrenic but we get along fine
I'm a young parisian,
Maybe I'm mistaken
Maybe I'm cuban
Maybe I'm jamaican

I know who I am
I'm not who you think I am

I know who I am
I'm not who you think I am

I know who I am
I'm not who you think I am

I know who I am

I never say "never"
I always say "more"
I know the score
I know what to look for

I know who I am
I'm not who you think I am
I know who I am

Kickin' like a kung-fu Shakespeare
Another girl another planet
On the corner, just wasted
Oh gosh
Oh gosh
Oh Juliette Binoche
I'm on my way to Babylon, by bus

I'm a big bloke
When I smoke, I don't choke
"Hi Malachi" let's talk about hope
In the beginning
Head spinin' make me dizzy
I'm the mirror man
So don't ask who is it
London is my city
Jamaica's my country
Africa's my history
It ain't no mistery
How I came to be
Earthling-free
Sitting in Ilford watching TV

Where's Uhura
On an adventure
Did she touch your sexual centre?
Cursing
Never seen an earthling
Never seen a microphone
Microphone
Now i'm all alone

Lost in my head
On the road until tomorow
I'm double demented
Like William Burroughs
P to the I to the M P
Pimp
Sako Urinocho reading Iceberg Slim

I'm Marcus Garvey
I'm Harvey Keitel
I'm the ghost of a dog chasing Edie Brickell
It's crazy perplexing
I'm hexing like a haitian
I'm an Arowak Indian
Picking pockets like Fagan

I know who I am
I'm not who you think i am

I know who I am
I'm not who you think i am

I know who I am
I'm not who you think i am

I know who I am

I never say "never"
I always say "more"
I know the score
I know what to look for

I know who I am
I'm not who you think I am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I'm not who you think I am
I know who I am
I'm not who you think i am
I know who I am
I'm not who you think i am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I'm not who you think i am
I know who I am
I'm not who you think i am
I know who I am
I'm not who you think i am
I know who I am

I'm Michelangello working on a totem pole
I'm Gallileo studying Shinto
I'm the rest of the earth giving birth to a baby
Grasshopper, tell me about slavery

I'm in a sauna, watching television
Yeah, Tripitaka gave me permission
I'm that man in 1686
Saying black people come from venus
Yeah

I saw her reading poetry
Practising verses
What's the meaning of 33 degrees in the morning ?
It ain't easy man
It ain't easy

I'm on the end of it
I pretend a bit
To be a misfit
So simplistic
Spend my days voyeuristic
It ain't real
Premeditated for the feel
I'm a plastic thief with no belief in what i steal
I starve myself and of course
It's just a sea of hunger

I want it and i want more
I want it and i want more

I saw the empty frame
Just hanging down my wall
Dehydrated screams be coming from the hall
Someone's accupuncturing themselves
With insecurity

I want it and i want more
I want it and i want more
I want it and i want more
I want it and i want more

I'm on the end of it
I pretend a bit
To be a misfit
So simplistic
Spend my days voyeuristic
It ain't real
Premeditated for the feel
I'm a plastic thief with no belief in what i steal
I starve myself and of course
It's just a sea of hunger

I want it and i want more
I want it and i want more
I want it and i want more
I want it and i want more

Nefisa

Mirror boy, rhyme with dada convention
Psychoanalysis didn't mean anything
PVC costumes, letters to Castro
Show me what you're reading, freaky girl with the afro

Franz Fannon, yeah yeah I get it,
All that curiosity with something to offset it
Diagrams and plans, drawn in secret locations
Scientific babies, they be peddling information

The queen, she's smoking prozac, we be smoking napalm
The verbal countries, they be smoking atom bombs
I wrote a book in the year seven-ten
By nineteensixty-nine I had written more

If you're feeling insecure,
Cause you're living in a storm
If you find them, you can burn them,
If you burn them you can keep warm

Them winds of change, they be bringing change,
Especially now there's prostitutes on Ilford Lane
You see, it's kinda like, but no, it's not the same thing
See there were men on the moon, but they killed them

Bearing in mind, my mind's soul food
Bearing in mind, my mind's aquarian
Bearing in mind, my mind's mine
Times being what they are, Radar

Bearing in mind yes yes, y'all
Bearing in mind, there's nothing in it
Bearing in mind, my mind's mine
Times being what they are, Radar

Aeroplanes in my room,
And I don't know who's flying them
They're playing that tune
It's okay, I got my eye on them

They're making their messages out of them smokes
Words evaporate, I can't read what they wrote
Their language is so strange, I never seen it's kind
The smell of them vapors be taking my mind
Combined with that melody, them engines be humming
I pick up my mike, I put it down

See now I'm outside in, I don't know where I'm going
I gets in my car, I starts rowing
But like the water is seeping
It's getting in through the bottom

I tickle them fish
Swallow them whole, now I got some
Bones, sticking in my throat
Has anybody seen my universal antidote

Bearing in mind, my mind's soul food
Bearing in mind, my mind's aquarian
Bearing in mind, my mind's mine
Times being what they are, Radar

Bearing in mind yes yes, y'all
Bearing in mind, there's nothing in it
Bearing in mind, my mind's mine
Times being what they are, Radar

Don't even think 'bout it
Don't even contemplate
Before the funk goes to your head
You better stop and wait

Don't even think 'bout it
Don't even contemplate
Before the funk goes to your head
You better stop

Don't even think 'bout it
Don't even contemplate
Before the funk goes to your head
You better stop and wait

Don't even think 'bout it
Don't even contemplate
Before the funk goes to your head
You better stop

And still it's cool, like they does it in Egypt
I say come to that river man, but nobody's seen it
Believe that, cinematic, atmospheric
Panasonic my headphones, ain't nothing on it

Bonnets on cars, magazines, girls on Harleys
We's sneaking up on babies, and we's eating thems Farleys
I don't know where my girl is, oh well, somebody took her
Fixing those strings as she sings Mr Hooker

Spikey hair my head, since I cut off my dreads
I got the green fishs tail, set sail on a moped
Jean of Arc's on the back, trying not to fall off
Valentines park, hip hop, set it all off

It's like I'm on a solitary exhibition
It's like you see me everywhere, but you still know that I be missing
Pissing in the wind as I'm lookin' for them answers
In seventies movies and topless dancers

Bearing in mind, my mind's soul food
Bearing in mind, my mind's aquarian
Bearing in mind, my mind's mine
Times being what they are, Radar

Bearing in mind there's nothing in it
Bearing in mind yes yes, y'all
Bearing in mind...
Times being what they are, Radar

I Still love Albert Einstein

(I want you to know this)
(I want you to know)
(I want you to know this)
(I want you to know)
(I want you to know this)
(I want you to know)

I want you to know sometimes
It feels like the last time
The last time i'll take you for a ride

Have you ever

Did you reap the experience?
Ten out of ten?
Ten out of
Ten

Would you ever

To the desert
to forget yourself
To forget your

(I want you to know this)
(I want you to know)
(I want you to know this)
(I want you to know)

I want you to know sometimes
It feels like the last time
The last time i'll take you for a ride

Time trickles
Through your fingers
Cup your hands, try and hold some
A second
Is gone

Another second
Is gone
Sted the tide
? like you
Take our love out of context
To protect my self

(I want you to know this)
(I want you to know)

Reaching out
Thought that you were mine

Want you to know sometimes
It feels like
This is the last time

(I want you to know this)
(I want you to know)
(I want you to know this)
(I want you to know)
(I want you to know this)
(I want you to know)

Like down in ? man oh man
Things be getting stupid
Took everything
Smoked it, looped it
Hundred people speaking
At a hundred miles an hour
At the room at the top
We nearly jumped to the tower
Scenes changing
Nanosecond after nano
We were in a time machine playing the piano
Colors pouring from our heads into the atmosphere
They were going everywhere
Getting there without a care
I swear we weren't enjoying it
See it was out of control man
We were destroying it
I swear we weren't enjoying it
See it was out of control man
We were destroying it
We'll end this demolition with precision
With no more collision
This time we be on our own mission
See we the man
Yeah, got rid of the other kids
And just about only we can live the way we live
We'll take you to the max
Plus a tax and jacks(?)
I'll be back with an ? means you can laugh

Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah
(Halleluyah)
Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah
(Halleluyah)
Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah

Soup or No Soup
Sing your own
(Halleluyah)

Flicking out my blue tounge and catchin' flies
See i was mesmorized by the alphabet
A surprise
So many stories
So enticing
It's like i got out my scizzors
cut em out like ?
We got out my scizzors
cut em out like ?
We tend to be more polaroid than paranoid
Tend not to follow decoys
We living in an episoid
Dazed and confused
Came to do anything thats there
Like Peter Selles man
We just like being there
So bring it on
Everything you speak of
There ain't nothing that we gonna keep off
Couting like ?
? ? ?
We drove to San Fransisco in go-karts
More flesh than golden
? ? ?
? ? ?
But by the evening we were off again
Lost again
Stuck on a ship a rasta man

Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah
(Halleluyah)
Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah
(Halleluyah)
Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah
(Halleluyah)
Soup or No Soup
Sing your own
(Halleluyah)

I hear my girlfriend
Is my girlfriend and earthling?
Are we rehersing?
Oh man
Could this be the worst thing?
Was it the time that we played the vegas circuit?
I got all shook up
Yo man, it wasn't worth it
I played a litle black jack in the casino
The man dealing cards, looked like Brian Eno
I ran to tell my bad-bone crew
But by time i got upstairs
They had vacated the room
My newspaper curled across the floor
Dived through the window couldn't take it no more
I pondered for a while in the pain of his torture
Then i ran a bath with the warm water
Saying things like "yeah yeah, fine fine we know"
But time don't go slow when you are living in a peep show
Oh yeah, we know

Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah
(Halleluyah)
Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah
(Halleluyah)
Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah
(Halleluyah)
Soup or No Soup
Sing your own
(Halleluyah)

N.A.D is eating concrete with his teeth
Fucking up the street yet he's having a good week
I drinks a dragon and starts braggin' like im crazy large
So mad drunk, even i dont know where I are
I think im in an aerosol canister
We be dem cowboys falling over banisters
Starting them bar-room brawls
The harder them come, the harder them fall
See just like the movies man
We be like zooming man
We in the room and our microphones be booming
We be tuning
Looking at a loon and swooning
Oh man! i'm even talking to the birds
There's a girl in high-heels standing on my wheels of steel
Saying something about "life can be so real"
She's spinning on a 45
I switch to overdrive
And watch her do a stage dive

(She's got a beautiful smile on her face now
look at that halleluyah!)

Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah
(Halleluyah)
Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah
(Halleluyah)
Soup or No Soup
Sing your own halleluyah
(Halleluyah)
Soup or No Soup
Sing your own
(Halleluyah)

(This was unreherse, unplanned, i dont even know where he come from
he must have slipped through the garden somewhere, but thats all right)

Well now you're always in my mind
(Thats the power)
And now you're always in my soul
(In the depths of the ocean lie)
And how you always undo what you told
No matter what you see before you
(its a dream too)
It's just ? ? ?
(Help yourself)
No matter what you want to be, its yours
'Cause when you're loving ?
We will be forever
(We will be having these two needs)
Holding on to the last
We will be surviving
Going to a violent lie
(If you listen to your heart and glisten)
And always shining red bright
Fire like the loving you will never know
(If there's something you will like me to know)

You will be the starlight when i'm blind
You will be the echo on my mind
(You will be sorrow)
You will be the starlight in my eye
(All on my own)
(Oh i'll have nothing to live)
'Cause it will be something we cannot do without it

If you want to leave
(Wake me now)
You'll just have to wait
And you may pay-back every night
And you may harbor to the light
And you may give back to the force
And you were wanting to belong
And there'll be mountains to disguise
And maybe thousands realize
And there'll be instance to deny
But it will always be there 'cause
History will recall
The blood we shed
History will recall
The feelings that we made
Fade into light
And it would be some sacrifice
(Repeat)

You said that it's fantastic being telepathic
You said you read my mind
You said that things are drastic
I was looking for a shrine
Whilst you were looking for a rock
And we were living on the same block
With that hip-hop
You're a little reptile
Only no-foot high
You've got those four strong legs and the pretty purple eye
You hypmotise me with your hypmotising ways
So much that i forgot to say
Sorry about the day than Ananda hurt you in the hand - ah
You had so much detail, he could not understand ya
MAU listen to it sing
He said "it's dread" as he held you by the hand
I couldn't hear a song
I could only hear a scream
Slow down little reptile
I dont know what you mean
Maybe she meant she was in pain
Maybe
I'm an earthling doesn't mean I'm insane
When i'm playing them games with little spiders
Sometimes I'm spraying the trains with the dope outsiders
These days I'm hiding in my crazy lies
These days I'm searching for my reptile

She said promise you won't tell
But I had already told
About the girl on my road who gives pure gold
They said like "where does she live?"
It's like she lives where she's at
They said like "where can that be?"
Your black I can't tell you that
"So what can we do?"
Well you can do what you will
What do we usually do when you've got time to kill?
It's like these things they be sounds
And them sounds they be big
And we go walking around the boundary taking little swigs

When we were out there
On the perpendicullar
We wasn't really looking for anything in particular
Tell me, was it the way that you were handled?
We know Ananda, he held you at those angles
It's like he wasn't exactly in control of his actions
Neither of us were we were just
Panning for distractions
The radio would talk and I would stare at its mouth
I prayed it wouldn't stop as it just let it out

You said it's easier to tell your secrets to someone that you can't see
So why you telling this to me?
(repeat)

See like with Emma, she sent me a letter
Written on a shark
I went to open it up
He tried to bite my fingers off
I wonder what it said
See, I ain't got around to read it
Threw it in my neighbours pond
Yesterday I saw him feed it
Believe that
No one of your predictions has come true
I thought it was your thing to get me through
Opposite over hypotenuse
I'm hanging at a tangent
Concept-less, I digress on a random
My force ain't balanced my means of beams
See nothing's as it seems in a Mongianic dream

You said it's easier to someone that you can't see
So why you tell this to me?

And now the little girl is a teenage wild child
She knows the game
And she plays it with a wild style
She only smiles when she's sticking the knife in
'Cause he chose the world that she spends her life in
Washing her body in a blood bath
The only sound she can hear is the dirty mans laugh
Six years old and she was told to keep a secret
Ten years on she was ? and she keeps it
Planet of the apes was her favorite program
Her grand daddy was her favorite
Oh man!
Who would have known the old man was sick?
Come on over baby let me show you a magic trick
Close the door
We'll play on the floor
Did grand daddy's games turn baby to a whore?

Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell

Grand daddy died five years ago
And baby turned into a full blown hoe
Her momma and poppa they still don't know
Because the whole ? scene is a freak show
The name ergo makes her go crazy
Town to town
You better slow down baby
Hazy days and hazy nights
And getting into fighs with people that bite
Every day she wonders what to do
Mixed up memories as she grew
Nightmare years and then she knew
So just like a bird, she went when she flew
Working streets and working avenues
Don't open your eyes and you wont see who's having you
Grabing you
Stabbing you
Dragging you down
Baby's so lost, she won't never be found

Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell

Sun shines bright
Baby's high as a kite
Today her name is pretty, but she ain't a pretty sight
Same old stilletos and dodgy looking fellows
Same old whistles
Same old hellos
Bars
Scars
Scars
Bars
Cars
Baby sees stars as she wonders who you are
Was the magic really real in the dreamer genie show?
And if so, where did her genie go?

Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Sweet sixteen ain't never been kissed
But she been drugged up, and sliced her own wrist
She missed the vein
She missed the shame
She's dying of shame
She's dying of pain

Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell

She only wanted to watch planet of the apes... X19
Planet of the apes X5

I dont know if you believe
In everything you see i mean
When the moon is full of blood
And the stars are full of tears
I'll be near
In the passion
I'll be near
In the traction

I dont know if you belive
The future's what it used to be
When they put a mirror on the moon it didn't shatter
'Till they took ? for the leader
And i was there
For an after taste
And i was there
My tounge slipped down
'Till i saw clear through the hourglass
The hourglass

She wanted me to take the elevator to the basement
It's amazing the hurricanes that were chasing
She wanted me to take the elevator to the basement
It's amazing the hurricanes that were chasing

And then in a thousand years
If we come through, reappear
Will I realize that he was always you
Will you be there in a hundred years
Will you be there to tell me that you dont care
Will you be there
To tell me that you dont care

They came to me
By means of beams
X7

They came to me
By means of beams
They came to me
By means of beams
They came to me

Now esoteric lyric
I'm a spirit
See im looking at my bed and my body's still in it

Like i be floating, not stepping
But checkin' out the mad levitation
Immitation b-boys
Corduroys
Gazelles
Kangols
Fhem fuckers, man them dont know the slang though
Not like saxon road to ash burton
Spit mad styles
So much our fuckin' brains be hurtin'
For certain
Were drawing the curtains on pretenders
Mad mao(?) will send you on a frantic agenda
Transport ya like an astronaut
I caught you
Skinny, ninenty pounds, ?
I sought you out
With the outer body experience
Transcend space and time
I'm leaving you delirious
This shit is serious
Mysterious like pyramids
It's stronger than that crack shit
And that be killing kids
We educated ? our poison is potent
Like a regular trojan?
Lee Perry ? we floating
Leave your mike open, ill freestyle till its broken

Flies in your eyes, you cant see the flys

(Whispers: oh yes)
Oh yes

I could just die

I'm so relaxed
I could just die
I wanna move my head
But I'm too relaxed to try
The moon be dancing in the sky
Can you see the black doves fly
Is it true what the trees said
Is Freddy Krueger really dead
Oh no I better tread softly
Somebody get this rhino of me

I'm so relaxed
I could just die
I wanna move my head
But I'm too relaxed to try (try)
I could just die

Take a sip she kept saying
I licked my lips took a sip as the beat kept playing
I looked around as it went down
All the way down
I didn't hear a sound
until about half an hour later
I got myself a job as a translator
For a man from Mars
He was on Earth wanted to buy some stars
There was a wolf on the dancefloor
He was dancing trying to roar
Like a lion
The wolf kept trying

Let's roar
Yeah, let's roar

I'm so relaxed
I could just die
I wanna move my head
But I'm too relaxed to try
I could just die (die)

Me and the sea had a long conversation
Hallucination, no this was real
So real you never reach this
There ain't no teacher can teach this
Rough, smooth, tip that Im on
By the time you get here I'll be gone
And when I come back
I'll be back in a flash
A brain attack
Another one for the slaughter
Please control your daughter

I'm so relaxed
I could just die
I wanna move my head
But I'm just too relaxed to try (try)
I could just die

She pulled that face the one that I had never seen
She got me running to the place where I ain't never been
Looking around
Miracle town
A big green man jumping leaps and bounds
I saw the tree soaring through the air
The golden platforms falling down the stairs

I'm so relaxed
I could just die
I wanna move my head
But I'm too relaxed to (But I'm too relaxed) try
I could just die

Driving now I'll be touched by the morning
A feeling coming on like a new dawning
I know what it's like
To wanna die
If only for a second
It's like many say
I could just die

I reckon

She's insisting that I'm her sister
She's insisting that I fix her up
If not with money or drugs then with anything I got
Not because she wants it, just because so what

She's insisting that I'm her sister
She's insisting that I fix her up
If not with honey or love than with anything I got
Not because she wants it just because so what

Everytime I see her she says the same thing
I want in, I thought you said you'd bring me in
I thought you said you'd start with one
Start with me for free
I thought you'd start with me

Everytime I see her she says the same thing
I want in, I thought you said you'd bring me in
I thought you said you'd start with one
Start with me for free
I thought you'd start with me

She's insisting that I'm her sister,
She's insisting that I fix her up
If not with money or drugs then with anything I got
Not because she wants it, just because so what

Just because we're in the cubical
We're getting so use to it all
We're in the cubical
We're getting so use to it all

We're all there is
Me and my sister
We're all there is
Me and my sister

Everytime I see her she says the same thing
I want in, I thought you said you'd bring me in
I thought you said you'd start with one
Start with me for free
I thought you'd start with me

Start with me
Start with me
Start with me for free

We're all there is
Me and my sister
Me and my sister

We're all there is
Me and my sister
Me and my sister

We're all there is
Me and my sister
Me and my sister

We're all there is

Me and my sister
Me and my sister

Do you feel pleasure as the moon comes down
After splending night on the miracle town
Driving to the left side moving to the dark
Meeting all your friends in miracle park

You decide which side you ride
The light is the sun, the dark is where you hide
All you friends looking through the same lens
It doesn't really matter how much time you spend
Why, cos' the reason's, the reason
In and out I go all through the season

If I see someone that I don't wanna see
I say come down with me
If they say yes or if they say no
It doesn't really matter, cos' i'm gone when I go

Why don't you all come down
Why don't you all come down
Why don't you all come down
To the miracle town

Why don't you all come down
Why don't you all come down
Why don't you all come down
To the miracle town

Did you find it, the shit that you were looking for
We all miss you, we miss you more
Town's the same as you left it
Sometimes mellow sometimes hectic

You can still swim with your wims to the edge of town
Keep on swimming even if you look drown
Some pass through, some pass out
Everyone's asking what's it all about

What's it about is up to you
You can be how you wanna be
Do what you wanna do

Push for the push, take a look around
There's no rules in the miracle town
Push for the push, take a look around
There's no rules

Why don't you all come down
Why don't you all come down
Why don't you all come down
To the miracle town

Why don't you all come down
Why don't you all come down
Why don't you all come down
To the miracle

What's your pleasure tonight
Will you find treasure tonight
What's your pleasure tonight
Will you find treasure

What's your pleasure tonight
Will you find treasure tonight
What's your pleasure tonight
Will you find treasure

Why you don't all come down
Why you don't all come down
Why you don't all come down

Why you don't all come down
Why you don't all come down
Why you don't all come down

Why you don't all come down
Why you don't all come down
Why you don't all come down
To the miracle town

Why you don't all come down
Why you don't all come down
Why you don't all come down
To the miracle town

I'm strong to the finish
'Cause I eats the guinness
I drinks the spinach till it's all dimnished
Over drunk like a big band Bossa Nova
I'll even drink the pee of a cobra
I'll show you my tijuana style
Walking around with a chicken shit smile
Joseph K in Kafka's trial
I reckon that I'll be going away for a while
I'll be standing sideways
Singing my way on the top of a juggernaut
Flying down the highway
The people will mistake me for priscilla
But i'm more like Attilla the hun da mad killa like

Word, i'm black thunderbird
They thought I was disturbed
They thought i was disturbed
Word, i'm black thunderbird
They thought I was disturbed

Sword fights wit the knights of the round
Brick lane bagels then back to ilford town
I'm too cool to know what's going down
I don't know if it's true what they said about ezra
I severed my own head
And took seven steps from the seven step snake
But i still ain't dead
Next time I use a machete
I used to body pop but i'm not rock rock
Hey you the Earthling crew
Come and do a dance yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
I'm not buffalo girl running the outside
And i'm not something something
Something, something, something

Word, i'm black thunderbird
They thought I was disturbed
They thought i was disturbed
Word, i'm black thunderbird
They thought I was disturbed
They thought I was disturbed
They thought I was disturbed
They thought I was disturbed

I'm the black, black, black

I found myself in the middle of a lake
Attached to a hook it looks like i'm the bait
Not the man of steel but i got steel plated armour
When they came for me i broke the tooth of the piranha
I drifted further out into the sea
I sank to the bottom and I saw Bruce lee
See he was fighting with the man from atlantis
Crazy frantic antics praying Mantis
I couldn't tell who was winning
I took off my armour it was too heavy to swim in
I reached the surface i saw a fish with a fishing rod
Oh my god it's the mad scientist the killa cod

Word, i'm black thunderbird
They thought I was disturbed
They thought I was disturbed
Word, i'm black thunderbird
They thought I was disturbed

Word, i'm black thunderbird
They thought I was disturbed
They thought I was disturbed
Word, i'm black thunderbird
They thought I was disturbed

I should'a know back then
When I said
Why, what, who, where, when
I should'a know back then, but then again

I should'a know back then
When I said
Why, what, who, where, when
I should'a know back then, but then again

Knife in my hand and a girl, named Maria
Kneeling by my side
Staring at me with exaltation in her eyes
Speakind to me in spanglish
I don't know who I am but I understand the language
She says, you've been dreaming since the 7th century baby

I should'a know back then
When I said why, what, who, where, when
I should'a know back then
That i'd wind up on my knee's like a bull in a pen

I should'a know back then
When I said why, what, who, where, when
I should'a know back then, but then again

I got a locust in my throat
Right now she's sleeping
Yesterday she got intoxicated on my speaking
I tried to tell her not to drink all my saliva
I tried to tell not to leave me behind
I said can't you see you're leaving me sore
I swear I heard her laugh as she drunk some more

I should'a know back then
When i said why, what, who, where, when
I should'a know back then
I should'a know back then, but then again

I should'a know back then
When I said why, what, who, where, when
I should'a know back then
That i'd wind up on my knee's like a bull in a pen

Maria's crying as she takes my knife
She says sometimes I wanna kill myself
But I'm scared that I might die
Sometimes I fly through liquid sky
Faking it all the way to heaven
When I get there I'll tell them that I tried
I tried to save men Mau
But they didn't want what I gave them mau
I tried to save men
But they didn't want what I gave them

I should'a know back then
When I said why, what, who, where, when
I should'a know back then
That i'd wind up on my knee's like a bull in a pen

I should'a know back then
Why, what, who, where, when
I should'a know, know, know
I should'a know, I should'a know I should'a know...

Why, what, who, where, when
I should'a know back then
That i'd wind up on my knee
She says
Hold on
One last thing

Sometimes you can be better off
Just being lost
Being blown around in circles
With the rest of the human dust

Sometimes you can be better off
Just being lost
Being blown around in circles
With the rest of the human dust

Usurp and move through the city
Like a snake or dog or a human on a gang rape
I watched a video tape of a man
Who got stabbed in the head
For taking little boys to bed
Crack down crack down I spin-round
You gotta go down to go up to go down
My TV got stole
Rolled in a rizla
It's summer tie but it ain't no sizzler

Sometimes you can be better off
Just, being lost
Being blown around in circles
With the rest of the human dust

Sometimes you can be better off
Just, being lost
Being blown around in circles
With the rest of the human dust

Alley to the city
The city is an alley way
Ancient stench on the bench where I stay
Listen to the vVoice of a man with no legs
As he sings a little dance as he begs
Pulsing like a heart of a hungry drum
I won't fight the night but still I can run
The hungry animals staring in my face
Tiny little insects crwaling every place
Silence is piercing
Screaming is repeating
I remember the alarm but I didn't see the beating
I wake up in a bird mans cage birds
Pecking at my body, somebody's in a rage
I keep moving out into the park
There's a dog dragging a clock
Backwards across the grass
I see a man taking photographs of dead flies
I don't ask why

Sometimes you can be better off
Just being lost
Being blown around in circles
With the rest of the human dust

Sometimes you can be better off
Just being lost
Being blown around in circles
With the rest of the human dust

The last man on a frozed ocean
Two miles from land and his soul's been stolen
He tied it to a metal pole
But then he dropped it down a icy hole
It's like he wanted it that way
He know it's gone
That's where he stays
He's thinking what went wrong
Your song, that's the only song he sings
It's just it ends when it begins
Your song, that's the only song he sings
It's just it ends when it begins

Sometimes you can be better off
Just being lost
Being blown around in circles
With the rest of the human dust

Sometimes you can be better off
Just being lost
Being blown around in circles
With the rest of the human dust

They say it's gonna rain tonight
I might stay up to watch it fall

They say it's gonna rain tonight
I might stay up to watch it fall

They say it's gonna rain tonight
I might stay up to watch it fall

They say it's gonna rain tonight
I might stay up to watch it fall

They say it's gonna rain tonight
I might stay up to watch it fall

They say it's gonna rain tonight
I might stay up to watch it fall

Saturated

( Mau / Saul / Keep - Featuring Ray Manzarek)

It's gonna take a thousand years to decorate these scars
It kills not knowing where you are
You feel it the same way as I do
We're scared aren't we
I wish i was inside you

At least that way i'd know which way you're going
It kills not knowing where you're going
It kills not knowing where you are
It's gonna take a thousand years to decorate these scars

Don't let me let her do it to me again
Cos' next time i'll do anything
Don't let me let her do it to me again
Cos' next time i'll do anything

...

Don't let me let her do it to me again
Cos' next time i'll do anything
Don't let me let her do it to me again
Cos' next time i'll do anything

I wasn't satisfied
With the way that i was hurting myself
Is there anything else i can do for you
Yeah loads of stuff if i want you to
Even thought i want you to

I'll stay do you mind if i stay
I'll stay it's gonna be great
It's gonna be great she says
It's gonna be great

Don't let me let her do it to me again
Cos' next time i'll do anything
Don't let me let her do it to me again
Cos' next time i'll do anything

Broken like innocence, broken like us
If there's only one of us there's none of us
There's one of us there's none of us
There's none of us

There now you know i don't know what i want
There now you know i don't know what i want
There... There...

Don't let me let her do it to me again
Don't let me let her do it to me again
Cos' next time i'll do anything
Cos' next time i'll do anything
Cos' next time i'll do anything

Don't let me let her do it to me again
Don't let me let her do it to me again

Cos' next time i'll do anything
Cos' next time i'll do anything
Cos' next time i'll do anything
Cos' next time, next time, next time

Love

( Mau / Saul / Rayner )

Bastard child before they started
We were never meant to smoke the antarctic
I was pneumonic our vomit's we recycled
It scars my teeth as it flows out in tidals
But still it's vital i watch the dogs taste it
I'll re-invent time just so i can waste it
Running down the yellow brick (Not correct - HELP !)
Trying to find out who's at the controls
If it's the wizard of oz
By now he must be fucking old
Probably turned to stone like that statue of that girl
I see you're all alone
I'll catch you in another world
You can tell me what i done when i weren't there
How'd you know i lied when i said i wasn't scared

I suppose it was obvious what it does to us
When they show no love to us
I suppose it was obvious what it does to us
When they show no love to us
I suppose it was obvious what it does to us
When they show no love to us

Technological fantasy, vertual man, it's like
Soon we'll be selling human babies out of cans
So you won't have to steal them from Romania
Get them from the corner shop, these wil
Look the same as you
Right colour right sparkle in the eye
Economical, diabolical genetic genocide
Pick and choose, mix and match
If you ain't happy within ten days
Then bring the little fucker back
Snack time is the black time
Microwave me a nigga sandwich

I suppose it was obvious what it does to us
When they show no love to us
I suppose it was obvious what it does to us
When they show no love to us
I suppose it was obvious what it does to us
When they show no love to us
I suppose it was obvious what it does to us
When they show no love to us
I suppose it was obvious what it does to us

And the love is...

Circumicised girls, sperm cells and ovaries
Ketamine snap crackle and pop
Jesus is screaming but no one is hearing him
We need a bigger knife to cut this new life Cesarian
Resurrection but nobody sees ya
Walking around town like you fucking got amnesia
But you can do as you please this time
Turn the water into wine stumble drunk past the shrine
Go to mary let her tend to your wonds
But be careful as you enter her womb
She's been living in a room
Blackening pages for ages
Saying this is where the blaze is

I suppose it was obvious what it does to us
When they show no love to us
I suppose it was obvious what it does to us
When they show no love to us
I suppose it was obvious what it does to us
When they show no love to us
I suppose it was obvious

The secret life of the future

( Mau / Saul / Keep / Rayner )

Three fifteen AM
I just said my prayers
I put an amen at the end
I don't no why i don't know what it means
Most times i don't even know

Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it

I've been on the phone
For twenty four hours now
Speaking to no-one
Cos no-one knows i'm here
I could only find zero photographs of you
Standing beneath the elephant ashtray
Cleaning yourself just like a cat
Saying jah know this and jah knows that
Olphee should'a stuck to poetry
Instead of walking through mirrors
And eEnding up somewhere else
I catch a reflection of myself
I realize i'm no longer an amoeba
I'm that little invisible black baby
Break dancing in quadraphonia

Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Talk about, talk about...

They move strangely, they're so small
These tiny yellow moths
Dancing in the palms of my hands
If i didn't see them i wouldn't need them
If i didn't need them i wouldn't see them
Neither do i, i say, neither do i, i say, again
It's three fifteen AM
If i didn't see them, I wouldn't need them
If i didn't need them, I wouldn't see them
If i didn't see them, I wouldn't need them
My secret telephone is ringing who would'a know the number
Who would'a know the number

Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it

Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Whether or not i'm in the future

I'm more confused than confucius
But that don't mean that i'm useless
See, i can dance and clap my hands at the same time
In time or out of time

I'm more confused than confucius
But that don't mean that i'm useless
See, i can dance and clap my hands at the same time
In time or out of time

I'm more confused than confucius
But that don't mean that i'm useless
See, i can dance and clap my hands at the same time
In time or out of time

Box

( Mau / Saul / Keep )

I lie quenching my thirst
By drinking the universe out of paper cups
At the local church it kinda hurts
Swallowing electrical things
But most things go down lovely
Monkey got a tape want's me to make a copy for is trolley
It's hard work listening to him sing with such melancholy

Left go right straight out of the box
Straight out of the box
Go left go right straight out of the box
Left right straight out of the box

Go left go right straight out of the box
Straight out of the box
Go left go right straight out of the box
Left right straight out of the box

Stretched out outside on the spider grass
He got tomorrow in a plastic bag don't ask!
What would be the point in that
Can't you see he's just one of them
But unlike all the others
Even the strongest of the strange
He don't wanna stay in this cage
He wants to see what it's like everywhere

Left go right straight out of the box
Straight out of the box
Go left go right straight out of the box
Left right straight out of the box

Go left go right straight out of the box
Straight out of the box
Go left go right straight out of the box
Left right straight out of the box

Look at the way they are
Looking back at you
Look at the way they are
Look at the way
Look at the way they move

Look at the way they are
Looking back at you
Look at the way they are
Look at the way they move

Left go right straight out of the box
Straight out of the box
Go left go right straight out of the box
Left right straight out of the box

Go left go right straight out of the box
Straight out of the box
Go right go left straight out of the box
Right left straight out of the box

Haunted head

( Mau / Saul )

Twelve PM outside it's all closed
Even all the freaks are locked up at the home
The bulbs just blown above my head
I'm flicking through the book that i've never read
It's too dark to make out the words
So i make some up and they sound superb
The nerve in my left eye is slightly ???
I can ??? kissing

They won't make love though they never do
I'm here with my ghost i'm waiting for you
They won't make love though they never do
I'm here with my ghost i'm waiting for you

It gets that way sometimes you know
It gets that way sometimes
It gets that way sometimes you know
I got no-one to speak to but my own ghost

It gets that way sometimes you know
It gets that way sometimes
It gets that way sometimes you know
I got no-one to speak to but my own ghost

I used to like it here like twenty seven seconds ago
I like it here but right now i gotta get out
Something about twenty seven years in the same town

It starts to get a little too phobic
I know this this time i gotta blow this place
Once and for all, i gotta blow this place

Some prefer the pain of staying where they are
Others can't stop themselves from going too far
Some prefer the pain of staying where they are
You couldn't stop yourself

It gets that way sometimes you know
It gets that way sometimes you know
It gets that way sometimes you know

I got no-one to speak to but my own ghost

It gets that way sometimes you know
It gets that way sometimes
It gets that way sometimes you know
I got no-one to speak to but my own ghost

It gets that way sometimes you know
It gets that way sometimes
It gets that way sometimes you know
I got no-one to speak to but my own ghost

Impenetrable if only one hundred years of solitude
Only left me lonely
And thirsty it was so unleven
Ain't miss believing
I don't stop believe in
Achieving the company of demons
I don't believe in breathing for no reason
I'm leaving i'm leaving
I don't believe in breathing for no reason

It gets that way sometimes you know
It gets that way sometimes
It gets that way sometimes you know
I got no-one to speak to but my own ghost

It gets that way sometimes you know
It gets that way sometimes
It gets that way sometimes you know
I got no-one to speak to but my own ghost

Gri Gri

Turn up get up
Get in the car
Don't know where you're going
Ain't going too far
Another nite-club
Another bar
Take another drink
Don't know where you are

One time two times ain't enough
They keep on coming playing games with us
One time two times ain't enough
They keep on coming playing games with us
They keep on coming playing games with us

The way the light slips
Through your eyelids
Kinda silver, kinda bright
Kinda beautiful, kinda blue
The way we slip through another night
The way we're speaking in whispers
The way it feels like I miss you
But you're right here
And I'm right here
And it's better here than anywhere

Crawl through the morning until the dawn
Watching TV but there's nothing on
Standing in the middle of a big dance floor
Keep on going until you're gone

The way it is
The way it was
When we're together
We're never lost

The way it is
The way it was
When we're together
We're never lost

One time two times ain't enough
They keep on coming playing games with us
They keep on coming playing games with us

Bobby X

Reckon I missed it
When they were handing out the linguistics
I was on planet rock eating Hip-hop biscuits
So don't ask me about philosophies of Archimedes
My education was beat-street and graffitis

My first transmission was a freestyle competition
Slicing up MC's like a rabbi on a rampage
I got ampage like an oscilloscope
You see the waves you see it's me, you know it's dope

I wasn't ready before but I am now
Gonna get a pen of paper put ‘em down now
Gonna say my rhymes, gonna say ‘em like prayers
Like them people speaking to gods
And demons without a care

Gonna let the whole world know I‘m here
The whole world's gonna know I'm here
I'm gonna let the whole world know I‘m here
The whole world's gonna know I'm here

They call me Bobby X
They found me walking along the freeway
They call me Bobby X
They found me walking along the freeway

Bobby X up from the flashes
Everything I have is everything that I smashes
I clashes with Medusa and the Titans
If I'm by myself then it's myself that I'm fighting

I'm black lightening, electro shocking man
Rockets on my boots, don't call me no rocket man
I'm moving silent what, more than invisible
Rhymes in my hand, I got a fist full
Rhymes in my hand, I got a fist full
Rhymes in my hand

Wasn't ready before but I am now
Gonna get a pen of paper put ‘em down now
Gonna say my rhymes gonna say ‘em like prayers
like them people speaking to gods and demons without a care

Gonna let the whole world know I‘m here
The whole world's gonna know I'm here
Yeah, I'm gonna let the whole world know I‘m here
The whole world's gonna know I'm here

They call me Bobby X
They found me walking along the freeway
They call me Bobby X
They found me walking along the freeway

Wasn't ready before but I am now
I wasn't ready before but I am now
I wasn't ready before but I am now

They call me Bobby X
They found me walking along the freeway
Asked me my name, didn't know what to say
But I can tell you what I done, what I did, where I went
‘Cause I wrote it all down in my book

I can tell you what I done, where I went, what I saw
‘Cause I wrote it all down in my book
I can tell you what I did, where I went, what I saw ‘cause I wrote it

Harp for Bats

Minako made me some brand new horns
When I'm feeling brave I put them on
Everybody thinks that I'm some kinda devil
Taking this stuff to some crazy levels

Who's to say these days will end
Spend all my time with my chemicals friends
Go all out, go out like
There ain't no day, there ain't no night

New York City anything goes
Why'd you think Nijinsky thinks he's a horse
And Parker Posey's taking a pause
Before she goes and makes better movies abroad

Sitting upstairs in the RER
Going through the tunnel can't see so far
Out of control like a stolen car
Thinking about Blondie and them men from mars

I close my eyes
Count to ten
And you aren't there

I close my eyes
Count to ten
And you aren't there

I close my eyes
Count to ten
And you aren't there

I close my eyes
Count to ten
And you aren't there

When this broken kiss is over
When you bite my lip
When I don't know what I told you
Or what it did

When we know it's never over
Even when it is
Silence is the most
Violent thing to give

We got the trade but the trade ain't fair
If there weren't slaves there'd be nobody here
Put on my gloves, put on my pads
Start real slow then I go kinda sad

There's no stopping no holding back
I wonder if we're ever gonna answer that
Nothing on my mind but the golden cat
Last night running round this lonely track

We know that these are the only days
We're in Versailles but they've closed the gates
Laser treatment, sweet like honey
Watch the time, don't watch the money

It was so sharp, it was so hardcore
Eleven o'clock we ain't here no more
Everyday now I don't know where we went
When I let go you'll be here again

I close my eyes
Count to ten
And you aren't there

I close my eyes
Count to ten
And you aren't there
You're not there

A Great Year for Shadows

They say my statements are strange and I guess they're right
I keep looking for infinity inside the light
When everybody knows it's in the shadows
I'm in the corner on this broken piano

I put my neck in the noose but forget what for
I get down put on my shoes then I go to war
I'm that blind man at the boxing match
I'm sitting in the front row listening to your bones crack

I see my friends, I watch them changing
I feel sick because I can't do the same thing
I'm getting old and my bones are breaking frequently
I'm breathing in, breathing out but not so easily

It's like it never happened but how is that
One day you went insane and took your kids back
Now everybody's asking if I'm leaving
But this city's in the blood that I'm breathing

I'm at the last frontier
I'm nowhere bound
And when I leave you here
I'm never gonna turn around

I'm at the last frontier
I'm nowhere bound
And when I leave you here
I'm never gonna turn around

I'm at the last frontier
I'm nowhere bound
And when I leave you here
I'm never gonna turn around

I'm at the last frontier
I'm nowhere bound
And when I leave you here
I'm never gonna turn around

It was simpler than I thought walking out of court
I kept my trap shut and didn't tell them what I saw
Last year was full of hate, I don't know where it went
I smash my face everyday but it don't make no dents

And I'm the only one who writes you letters now
Since we found out they're never gonna let you out
Now everybody's asking if I'm leaving
But this city's in the blood that I'm breathing

I'm at the last frontier
I'm nowhere bound
And when I leave you here
I'm never gonna turn around

I'm at the last frontier
I'm nowhere bound
And when I leave you here
I'm never gonna turn around

Fly Away

Julee Cruise :

Think I'll fly away
Where it's safe and warm
Think I'll fly away
Where the stars are born

Think I'll leave this place
Thats so worn and torn
Gotta leave this space
Where I'm feeling old

So I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no cause
You'll never be the same

So I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no
Dust to dust human remains

So I'll fly away
To a beautiful place
Yes I'll fly away
Vanish in the haze

It's my state of mind
Where I feel so confined
I'll just fall asleep
And my dreams will appear

Soaring above
In a cloud of love
I will fly

I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no cause
She'll never be the same

I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no
Dust to dust human remains

Goodbye Nevada
Goodbye Bill Clinton
Goodbye 30th street
Goodbye court TV

Soaring above
In a cloud of love
Gonna climb so high
That I'll fly away

Where it's safe & warm
Yes I'll fly away
Where the stars are born
I'm a prisoner here
In a world of fear

I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no cause
She'll never be the same

I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no
Dust to dust human remains

I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no cause
She'll never be the same

I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no no
I'm never gonna come back no
Dust to dust human remains

You call me up
Ask for translations
What's the meaning of good vibrations

In the Sky

We're always somewhere
Don't really matter where
It's crazy how sometimes you just appear
I guess they'll say that you took me here
But these sensations are ours to share
These sensations

We're in the sky now
We're in the sky
We're in the sky now
We're in the sky
We're in the sky now
Just you and I

We're in the sky now
We're in the sky
In the sky now
Just you and I

We're always somewhere
Don't really matter where
It's crazy how sometimes you just appear
I guess they'll say that you took me here
But these sensations are ours to share
These sensations

We're in the sky now
We're in the sky
We're in the sky now
We're in the sky
We're in the sky now
Just you and I

We're in the sky now
We're in the sky
In the sky now
Just you and I

We're in the sky now
We're in the sky
We're in the sky now
We're in the sky
We're in the sky now
Just you and I

We're in the sky now
We're in the sky now
We're in the sky now

Peepholes

The monk of chaos said he'll play us a cassette
That he made with Amadeus but we haven't heard it yet
I suspect that he's mad-wrecked on that stuff that I wrote him
Now it'll take at least all week to unfold him

I told him
Slow down you're burning more than nitro-glycerine
He wasn't listening so now he's stoned magnificent
See he went at it like an addict mad manic
Amsterdamic, don't know what it is but he's looking at it

We just come and go
Like reindeers in the snow
But they don't see us though
We're one and two like stereo

We just come and go
Like reindeers in the snow
But they don't see us though
We're one and two like stereo, like stereo

We just come and go
Like reindeers in the snow

The sister of the lord she's on her skateboard I see her
Flying down the corridors as she does her chores
Three hundred and sixty degrees off the railings, she's abseiling
She meta-morphs into an alien
And now she's down in St. Martin's crypt
She's putting words to Beethoven's 5th in the style of Patti Smith
I can still see were we used to live
We haven't gone far enough
We haven't gone far enough

We just come and go
Like reindeers in the snow
But they don't see us though
We're one and two like stereo

We just come and go
Like reindeers in the snow
But they don't see us though
We're one and two like stereo, like stereo

We haven't gone far enough
We haven't gone far enough

We just come and go
Like reindeers in the snow
But they don't see us though
We're one and two like stereo

We just come and go
Like reindeers in the snow
But they don't see us though
We're one and two like stereo

We just come and go
Like reindeers in the snow
But they don't see us though
We're one and two like stereo

We just come and go
Like peepholes in the snow
But they don't see us though
We're one and two like stereo
Like stereo, like stereo, like stereo...

Branded Youth

You be the Bonny baby
I'll be the Cly-Clyde
Let me take you
Take on another ride

I'll get you back to your papa by teatime
We're gonna ease time
We're gonna freeze time
I'll be your alibi
I'll be your samurai

Got what you wanted in the end right
Didn't see you coming in my headlights
Me and the monkey gonna go on strike
Breaking out of prison like I'm Dolomite

I'm only what I'm like
When I'm on the mic
I keep my friends tight
I keep my friends tight

I'm only what I'm like
When I'm on the mic
I keep my friends tight
I keep my friends tight

You be the Bonny baby
I'll be the Cly-Clyde
You be the Bonny
I'll be the Cly-Clyde

Plug my mic in, keep fighting
Not a black thing, not a white thing
Reading Richard Wright getting lost like lightning
I'm like the kids in that movie called The Shining
I've got a plan more simple than Simon

She only stays with me because she thinks she has to,
I wanna know but I'm too scared to ask her
I can't write because my hands are made of plasma

She only stays with me because she thinks she has to
I wanna know but I'm too scared to ask her
I can't write because my hands are made of plaster
Wickedness is getting easier to master, to master

You be the Bonny baby
I'll be the Cly-Clyde
Let me take you
Take on another ride

I'll get you back to your papa by teatime
We're gonna ease time
We're gonna freeze time

All this losing got me into new things
I'm in the pawn shop pawning the diamond rings
I buy a gun with the money that they bring
She's with me, she's close but we ain't faking

Didn't see you coming in my headlights
Me and the monkey gonna go on strike
Breaking out of prison like I'm Dolomite
