to sorrow
When do your vampires let you go
On your knees and say forgive please can I come back home

The ole demons are back again dancing with the seven

or a tear can abide when we trust and obey

Then in fellowship sweet, we will sit at His feet, or we'll walk by His side in the way
What He says He will do,

to neck her 'neath the
Street lights, by the Moonrise cardboard cafe
Who'm i to say what's right or wrong
But memories faded, Joan was gone
Luscious lemon

and painful wait


but you've been given
a gift by chickens
it cost you pittance
but tastes just great 

hope it's not a broken one
must about be good as done

You've heard tell of Butch and Sundance, Jesse James and Dan McGrew
But there's one more desperado that's a legend through and through
Now this

stormy day in Colorado, Iron Lung sat down
With a friend of his from Woodstock by the name of Funk E. Brown
An ancient bong was then produced, of glass all

Thinking the pain felt by that journey is a bad thing/ 
Until you see the results/

Brown skin, thick
Body so sick
Million dollar pic
Every time she take one
Dress match the bag
Just popped the tag
Gucci on her ass
Talk about her

Got a letter on his desk
To say that his occupant

Only you can steal my heart
I will tell you all my secrets
And by dawn we’ll float apart

Avoid regrets
We gave you warnings
Human loss, cosmic

tool 

Lead me astray then take me home 
I've been all brown or black or green 
Awash with air, amok with mud 
It's all in error 

Gassy and sour, oh,

Oh when you see me in sorrow
Oh don't you say it's right, no don't twist the knife
You know I long for tomorrow
I wish you understood this hurts more

Sunlight is pouring all over me
The cracks in the window blinds
Tell I'm free
But in the night when fear paralyzes
Allowing no

When you see the police
Say a little prayer to the Shepherd
Who let wolves guard the Sheep?

Who police the police?

Ain't got no halo, no wings to fly away
I've got to labor, for many many days
I'm on a journey, I'm looking for a place
To rest by burdens, far

On my table everyday a brown delicacy
(And) each time I surprise by how good it is

Suggest

They never said your name
But I knew just who they meant
Woah, oh oh

I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered too
If by chance you heard it for

Headed over yonder

They say I'm born again
Simple 'sorry' and 'amen'
I'm livin' dyin' by the pen
Headed over yonder

I grew up on the Rez and resurrected
Resilient out the reservoir my brown skin resented
These are truly unprecedented times deresolution is where

I'm clingin' on my assets Norb'
Snore, wake up and like a lion, roar
In awe, they brown-nose
Influence the way the crown goes

But brown eyes sewn shut from lack of sleep

He forgot you put it on in the tent on Saturday
