lyrics

Anybody drunk out here? All right Come on The senators are drunk again The truckers slide on roads of sin The ladies slip into their coats of nothing The lizards crawl into their pipe They all sing I never did you wrong and I can barely sing this song And yeah I smoked a homemade bong and I’m so drunk I wrote this song The flavored nurses dance in drag The minotaur man wears a coat of shag The concubines look so delicious Tuxedo tramps twirl their umbrellas, yeah! They all sing I never did you wrong and I can barely sing this song And yeah I smoked a homemade bong and I’m so drunk I wrote this song, get drunk They all sing I never did you wrong and I can barely sing this song And yeah I smoked a homemade bong and I’m so drunk I wrote this song now I never did you wrong and I can barely sing this song I smoked a homemade bong and I’m so drunk I wrote this song, come on

Faded Days 03:39
lyrics

Tell me a story of days bright and gold Tell of a time when life wasn't so old Tell of a day that was worth living for Tell of the last time that I opened the door, hey The line that's been trod til it's blurred and erased The clock that keeps time with no hands and no face The pain that's renewed in its cyclical ways Torn from the sanctum, from my faded, my faded days Found in the backwater creeks of my mind Lost in the ravaging passage of time Borne on a cloud in the wide open sky Choked in black schisms until it should die Tell me a story of days bright and gold Tell of a time when life wasn't so cold, cold

Yo I been thinking about your ways and they show me every day That your lovin ain't that right, it for sure ain't bein what it might And you can tell me that I'm so so wrong all you want But you know as well as me it makes me more reluctant Everything I say is twisted by your evil woman ways Do you want to script out everything that resembles what you want me to say? Cuz there's no way I can do it on my own Anyone else and you can bet that you'd be all alone Everything I say is twisted by your evil woman ways I been trying for so damn long I lost track of the days You take your pick of the situation you want me in But let me tell you girl the way you treat me is a sin These days when I hear your name the first thing I do is groan So why not make it my day and call yourself alone now

You got my name but I ain't got yours Is there a purpose to walking out of my door I stuck on top the levee with my clothes and all my things If you want to help me just help me sing We singin like this La la la la la la la la la la la la lalala I'm singin la la la la la la la la la la la la lalala If I could I'd be a mattress and lay horizontal all day Got nothin to do or think or be or feel or say, whoa yeah I just wanna have some time to myself if that's all right So if you want me I'll be here all morning afternoon and night, right here and singin La la la la la la la la la la la la la Yeah come on I'm singin la la la la la lala la la la la la lala I talk to folks up and down the sidewalk, they don't ever listen to what I got to say The same for you and all the state legislature, y'all don't listen anyway You never know until it's past too late which way the world is gonna bend Singin hymns of days long past to the wall and the ocean my friend I'm a-happy singin La la la la la la la la la la la la la Come on I'm singin la la la la la lala la la la la la lala Even in my own daydreams I never get so very far I had one the other day I got run over by a rich man's car All the EMTs came to get me but I didn't have no insurance I tried to get up and find the first doctor I could but I did not have any endurance So then I grabbed my wallet and tossed out some change and a card that had my name I said "You can be ensured that this is what they call me" They said "That's not what everybody claim" So then I looked him in the eye as my final breath escaped through the hole in my chest With final words screaming "He who dies richest dies best" I was sittin singin Singin singin singin a-singin singin a-singin singin sing it with me La la la la la la la la la la la la lalala Yeah I'm singin la la la la la lala la la la la la lalala Yeah c'mon I'm singin la la la la la la la la la lalala I'm forever singin la la la la la la

Aw, bring it on back, oh It's when you're just freewheeling without a place to go You're feeling just like a king you know Because New Orleans is the place where the life is see Yourself a brew and a friend or three Well the music is hot and you know that's right All the fine ladies comin out at night So if you wantin a good time and you got the means Get your money and buy a ticket to New Orleans Well the clubs are swinging and the people the same Go there you'll see that Bourbon's more than just a name If you're having trouble finding it then here's a start Esplanade and take a right to North Rampart Then you follow the sounds to the party spot Music is live and all the girlies are hot Make a couple of friends go to the smoothest scenes You can search the world you'll never find another New Orleans Let let let let let let let lemme give the five dollar tour of the town, you down Even though the street's named Royal you don't need no crown Don't look around cuz you bound to be found by the town Don't do what the new crew do, you don't have no time to be new Cuz there's clubs that's always up in your place, in your face Don't matter where you go cuz there ain't no trace Not like these fake-ass towns that try to be what we are, who we are In the bar you go far you a star, no matter who you are In New Orleans every street got your name on it And that's a fact, no I ain't smoking crack so relax Have a beer and a daiquiri too Cuz when you're here in New Orleans, it's the right thing to do baby

Desolate 04:05

Any whispers fade to blue in this realm of me and you Severed from the source of light, left inside eternal night Gone again another friend they all keep leaving til the end Slighted in the final rain yet I pass this way again Where's the limit to this path, when's the ending's aftermath Never more again to fade underneath a sunlit glade There's the path I've walked before, like a gate it's my youth's door

Out 03:36
lyrics

I hear somebody call my name, it echoes back but not the same Why are you screaming out so loud? I think I could be tripping out 1,2,3,4 Understatement and exaggeration, 14 different points of view Extrasensory stimulation comes from everything you do Don't I know you? It's so hard to see you, I can't remember who you are There's a thousand eyes staring at me, light so blinding from afar Lack of understanding, something awry, somebody tell me am I gonna die? Nervous feeling of paranoia in unfamiliar surroundings Tel me please does my presence annoy ya? Reality in my ears rings It's so distant, is it really there, I've forgotten what it was Ah fuck it I don't even care, need to know why then because Lack of understanding, something awry, somebody tell me am I gonna die? I hear somebody call my name, it echoes back but not the same Why are you screaming out so loud? I think I could be tripping out

Fireplug 03:42

Innuendo gives me chills for all my days Sophomoric devil woman knows my ways Effervescent, hung my boots up on a nail Ephemeral through the skies tied to a sail Participle disciple-ing my lonesome years Blind and hollow, corrupting the purest tears Seraphimic waves that crash upon the rocks Intersession, pack my soul up in a box

Nothing But Time 03:59
lyrics

Looking out the window for a day or two with the sun above the roof Kicking back and waiting for my pager's hum with a vodka 80 proof Listen to the cars and people passing by as the fan blades go around Feel my pager buzz against my belt and hip, pick my phone up off the ground Nothing but time time time is that a crime Nothing on my mind mind mind and that's just fine Nothing but time time time is that a crime Nothing on my mind mind mind and that's just fine Talking to my girl until I hear a knock and I tell her "call you back" Open up the door and it's my boy Dennis in his beat up Cadillac Cruising down the street and never stopping once on our way to anywhere Waving hi to people I don't even know, they wave back if they don't care Nothing but time time time is that a crime Nothing on my mind mind mind and that's just fine Nothing but time time time is that a crime Nothing on my mind mind mind and that's just fine Over to the club after the sun goes down, see my friends up at the bar Buy a couple beers to wash the liquor down, shoot some pool for about an hour Get back to the house around three A.M., not worried about no strife I'm not really sure just what tomorrow will bring, man if this ain't the life, yeah Nothing but time time time is that a crime Nothing on my mind mind mind and that's just fine Nothing but time time time is that a crime Nothing on my mind mind mind and that's just fine

When The Devils Prophesy 04:56
lyrics

Mesmerine, she is so careless, she wears her crown so well In the housing project campus untouched through her porcelain shell Yes I knew her that way long ago, to her I bear no ill I know of none that would die for her but I know plenty who would kill To Mesmerine across the shore, I bid a fond goodbye Cuz you never ask for nothin when the devils prophesy The seat beside me vacant in plaid Napoleon's lair I had to fill it up with magazines and pretend that I don't care And Germany with her hair cut short and her youth a dawn away Asks me for some more advice like she does every day And I myself I'm raking dust in the calm before the cry Listening to photographs as the devils prophesy, c'mon Deridder waits up on the docks blowin smoke rings in the air Writing questions in the water and dreamin of the one he left there Saint Peter on the barge approaching he wails a lonesome song Not knowing in his self-ascribed position that he's singin it all wrong His seraphims sound trumpets and never wonder why They're unknowingly playin the score for the devils prophesyin J.D. Salinger in the dance hall, he wears his pain with grace Yeah he missed his prime some years ago and had to drop out of the race "Salud" he announces to no one takin a long pull from his drink Then he puts his head down in his arms as the room begins to sink Salinger he racks his body nightly with his rye But even drunk you can't escape from the devils prophesyin Now Medea, she is weeping for time has passed in vain As Plutarch sits on the balcony out in the rain They shared a common interest and discovered it too late Medea wails an apology even as she evaporates And Plutarch left behind, he hopes the memory soon will die But hope's a useless venue when the devils prophesy

Take it back baby You wanna talk about love? You better talk to me Cuz I ain't got time for your sympathy, no Say you wantin all the answers to your questions, yeah You say you want a quick romance? Well I ain't the one You can't hide from the passion, you can't run from the pain I don't have time to lose you and try to win you back again Just keep all your secrets cuz I don't give a damn about em You think you know about pride? Don't know a thing about it, no Don't want to hear your promise, no no I won't allow it, no You think you know about me? Well girl you better think twice, twice Cuz I've learned that ladies are more than sugar and spice You can't hide from the passion, you can't run from the pain I don't have time to lose you and try to win you back again Just keep all your secrets cuz my mind's all I got to lose Break it down! Whoa you can't hide from the passion, you can't run from the pain I don't have time to lose you and try to win you back again Just keep all your secrets cuz I don't give a damn about ya, no

Oh where were you I have tasted the tainted blood of the sun, uh huh Dancing in the fields of abortion Down on your knees sucking the tongue of a corpse Slashing your wrists your beautiful filth pours We knelt in the graveyard with the wheels passing by Licking your black wound as the black raven cried "I'll rape you while you're innocent, bleeding black tongue Losing your virginity in the mausoleum I am yours I'm taking what you want me to I am what you will become Oh, I am, oh" Stab me oh and stab me one more time Hear the knife blade ringing out, ringing like a chime The insects and spiders they are crawling on your smile Your dying scream, your dying scream reminds me of a child I have, I have seen where I die I have seen your dying day Take this pain away, I listen through your scars tonight Can't bear to bring this with me, we blot the light "You'll wake up," I swear I won't Why why why why why why why why Why breathe?

Aw yeah c'mon Sheddin sweat bullets like a sawed-off gun Flyin off walls in a room of one Peeling off plaster from my ceiling fan With a toothpick wound in the middle of my hand Limp wet dollar laying down in a glass With a filter smokin killer jumpin on my ass Broken record rockin from five to nine With a burnt-out jimmy workin for the wine Come on, get down, Molotov cocktail this party motherfucker Come on, get down, light this sucker up Come on, get down, Molotov cocktail this party Come on, get down, light this sucker up Wheelin down the highway for a long ass while Switch to the alternative station on the dial Can't help but feel a pang of disgustipation Alternative to what? They played this on the pop station Think about this time I finally got myself to feeling that I got my songs appealing gotta tell myself it's real And it's riff, sing, can't believe Here we go, what's up our sleeve Come on, get down, Molotov cocktail this party Come on, get down, light this sucker up Come on, get down, Molotov cocktail this party Come on, get down, light this sucker up We hope you have enjoyed your evening tonight, we were The One-Eyed Jacks Come on, get down, Molotov cocktail this party motherfucker Come on, get down, light this sucker up Come on, get down, Molotov cocktail this party motherfucker Come on, get down, light this sucker up Thank you very much, have y'allselves a great and enchanted evening, One-Eyed Jacks, peace out
