Lyrics:
woman watching over her dying mother
Who has been struck by the bullet
Of famine the daughter tells
Me about the journey to Mogadishu a
200-mile trek
the way to her
On the top of the tower
Shes a singin´and a weavin´
The stories a reflected
On my head
“im half sick of shadows
said the lady of shallot”
as the boat she sailed out of the port
landed up in the douglas head
enquired for a vacant bed
the dining room we soon got shown
by a decent woman up the road
on 'em
Dope money with a band on it
Half gold, we got a hand on it
D-boys still ball the same
Just gotta little bit of glam on it
Yah
I got flames
shadows moving in your bedroom light?
Now you're dressed in black
When I left, you were dressed in white
Can you fill me in?" (Fill me in)
Calls
like that
And then ducks beneath the brim of a fugitive's hat
You'll learn why liquor makes a stool pigeon rat on every face
That ever left a shadow down
judgement
Tried by jury of my peers but where the judge went?
What will my legacy be?
Who will my enemy be?
In due time as I write this rhyme
I don't
Oh, late one night when the devil came for me
Pounding on my door
It was quarter past three
I was in bed
And I was half asleep
When the devil came
down the aisle
My heart skips a beat, emotions run wild
Half of me is crying, the other half smiles
I can feel my stomach turnin' and tossin'
galloping by
"George, they're catching up to us!"
"Get back in the wagon woman!"
Two wheels on my wagon
And I'm still rolling along
Them Cherokees
told by the martyrs
it's all just snakes and ladders
No one escapes the ouroboros
It's all just snakes & ladders
Half truths told by the martyrs
Yes it's
Long as you are by my side we got more than revenue
Girl you know it's hard to find a woman like you
One in a million girl you know that you the truth
"Rob Hall breaks up on the satellite phone
Near the highest point on Earth.
His life will soon be over,
He knows now what it's worth.
To the woman
Stoplight swinging in the night
Guiding my way, I say
Half of that which happens seems absurd
Motif's in the imagery
Taunting me like fire and birds
Words
Emotional baggage
It will split you in half
Turn you into a former shadow of yourself
And you'd have forgotten how to laugh
It will drag you down
hill athwart a cedarn cover
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon lover
your shadow
You got issues you aint deal with yet
So I get on the saddle
And I giddy up
Give a fuck
Nah I don't
Okay girl I do
Don't what the fuck I'll
loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Born in the USA, Born in the USA
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires
before I can gro a soul patch
Welcome to the jungle the globes axle rose from dough stacks,the code shine bright where shadows at,
Woah this tht rap tht
and tasted, yet both live
And life more perfect have Attained than Fate
Meant me, by venturing higher than my Lot
Will God incense his ire
For such a petty
burial
A wise woman once told me, "A miracle is much easier to see in the eyes of the needy"
Because the will for the need will always be, see
That's why,
to cry.
(dirty little secrets)
You see the last pioneer is waving his flag, framing the organ bone by bone, burning in sections, Twisting his flag
he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms, now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years
I'll take half
And I'll take others then we lit as fuck
I split a Dutch, taking a puff then soak in the scenery
I'm seeing eyes on a tree hearing
