Oliver Twist

(album: Shadows And Shinings - 2021)

Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, hot damn

This is champagne road let it flow
I never liked working for the man, hell no
No luck with the girls growing up, friend-zoned
Now they all wanna dance, fandango
Far from Orlando, Bloom like a cactus
When everyone's back was turned surprise
And they were like that's a first
Now my neighbours they gravitate to me let Lasseters
"Oh hey, Paul" Oh what the fuck you want?
I'm not one of those wanna be chosen ones
I'd rather run Han Solo, king of the Millennium
Always done better with my enemies in front
"Boom!" You got to be prepared for this comedy like Bill Hicks
Friends turn funny for the money like Anna Nicole Smith
Fan of the old shit?
I could put a flaming bag of it up on your doorstep like blah
"Uh... Pale Rider was best"

Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, hot damn

From a commoner to running with the best
Stay hungry I'll never have enough of this
Oliver, Oliver Twist
A little Hustle and a little prowess
Found a pocket when I ran among the rest
Oliver Oliver Twist

All I ever wanted was this, "what it is"
At the top of the biz dropping some hits
And you don't want to take a shot and then miss
'Cause I hang with a whole gang of Oliver Twists
The assorted orphans of the music
Chorus of the movement, redrawn the blueprint
The Uninvited forcing an intrusion
Go hide your silver and porcelain or lose it
You ever let the devil in the door
Be careful what you revel in we paddling the raw
Fuck the level of the law, said it all before
Ain't settle hit the pedal hit the metal on the floor
Came from nothing like a wet dream
Won't waste another breath being, weighing up the next thing
Everyday I hustle get cream
So hate or love it ain't another that can take it up or test me

I throw caution to the wind
Kicking down your picket fence
Never boxed inside a house
No keeping me down
They said I'd amount to nothing
And end in the lost and found
But look at me now

Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, hot damn

From a commoner to running with the best
Stay hungry I'll never have enough of this
Oliver, Oliver Twist
A little Hustle and a little prowess
Found a pocket when I ran among the rest
Oliver Oliver Twist
From a commoner to running with the best
Stay hungry I'll never have enough of this
Oliver, Oliver Twist
A little Hustle and a little prowess
Found a pocket when I ran among the rest
Oliver Oliver Twist

Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, hot damn

All in the mind, it's all in the mind
It's all in the
All in the mind, it's all in the mind (Hot damn, hot damn)
All in the mind, it's all in the mind
It's all in the
All in the mind, it's all in the mind (Hot damn, hot damn)
All in the mind, it's all in the mind
It's all in the
All in the mind, it's all in the mind (Hot damn, hot damn)
All in the mind, it's all in the mind
It's all in the
All in the mind, it's all in the mind (Hot damn, hot damn)
