Citronella
(专辑: None Shall Pass - 2007)
[Intro:] I
stood before the
glittery borders of new radius In search of the
fabled city of mud and crushed velvet What I
found was a
gutter where the
love of entertainment Meets the
lust for blood and demerits [Verse 1:] Cutters of the
pie, throw your summers in the
sky Collar-pop Jolly Roger die, motherfucker, die! Apache on a
ship shape, in Bristol fashion Snuck a
jammy through the
red tape and tiptoed past him Worm teeth grinding feverishly below As little organic hacksaws eager to feed and grow So when it's Blackhawk over the
glass walk They surface up through the
cash crops With clippers for your belly-up mascots and never dine alone Meanwhile, back at sea level, it was home by home zone for zone Bloom County's homeless riot for home ownership; I
hope you put gas in the
motor-home and know the
roads I
studied with the
finest combs stuck under my thumb As opposed to the
loaded nose who pray Armageddon is numb And that's unevenly rendered To those who grew up thinking faith was a
surrender of reason, but not a
reason to surrender Catch the
Liberty Fires' catalog: 40 torched orchids and citronella for Algernon Don and Vagabond, alike, repent This shit should have been, "Beta burns Babylon. The
End." [Chorus:] And when the
radio stars climbed up out of the
floors To murder the
medium that shot 'em 30 years before They said... (Kill... television! Kill... television! Kill... television!) (Difficult... isn't it?) And when the
cutters of the
pie throw their summers in the
sky No love lost, baby, the
future is so bright (Kill... television! Kill... television! Kill... television!) (Difficult... isn't it?) [Verse 2:] Nothing says "charm" like an armored car Taking the
clone-farm 'tards to the
arms bazaar We were the
homemade marker makers born to pour the
marsh ink into right guard parts And march through the
gauntlet of car alarms No harps, no delusions of losing with something prettier Than ash around the
metacarpal still clutching the
teddy bears But we can run with scissors through the
city fair Or situate the
nuzzle with the
subtle art of splitting hairs! Double park the
shuttle, some will arc the
funneled cutty sark Where budding narcs target the
gushing heart in the
muddy Clarks These are the
vices of the
p-noid bastards Who will chew whatever tablets blur the
axioms fastest But crews lose lunches by the
hundreds Lose electricity, lose gas, phone, plumbing Humming, "Keep your mouth closed. Keep your cows cloned. Go!" "I am the
pulse of this fucking town, homes, no!" My, what a
convenient embargo At least I'll always know which side of the
gun I'm supposed to buy the
farm from The
too-far-gone kicks, still in the
box Fix, still in the
pill in his sock Chilling, gill in the
slop, and a
million watch Gideon scribes But once the
arc honor pussy and bribes, the
animals will divide And that's a
win for the
garish who keep charity in the
parish While profiting off the
lack of a
marriage (amongst the
classes.) [Chorus:] And when the
radio stars climbed up out of the
floors To murder the
medium that shot 'em 30 years before They said... (Kill... television! Kill... television! Kill... television!) (Difficult... isn't it?) And when the
cutters of the
pie throw their summers in the
sky No love lost baby, the
future is so bright (Kill... television! Kill... television! Kill... television!) (Difficult... isn't it?) [Verse 3:] The
mobile infantry is so postal Coast into the
quotient provoking the
local Pistol Pete Choking his liberty and justice quotas and cloaking his folk in smithereens; Smokey little pile of bloody pulp and co-dependencies Dopey, no surrender, bender in effect Sole defenders of the
longest night New York had never slept And there were jumping jacks and whistlers over Christmas Like Rockets From The
Crypt spilling the
festive morning beverage of your preference I
step in Hog Heaven, stony, with no weapons Pissing on teleprompters, selling megaphones to hecklers Who broadcast 80 million versions of the
sermon For that one indisputable masterpiece before the
curtains Pale, Arcadian moon, high-definition, flat plasma IMAX, city-wide transfer Artificial Einstein-Rosen out the
tenement Ease into the
"Xanadu", let it hammer the
tension out I'm talking cool, calm, dominant phenomenal Monitor face to the
wall opposite U.F.O.'s and locusts sing the
same old song While the
Weathermen get retarded as the
day is long [Chorus:] And when the
radio stars climbed up out of the
floors To murder the
medium that shot 'em 30 years before They said... (Kill... television! Kill... television! Kill... television!) (Difficult... isn't it?) And when the
cutters of the
pie throw their summers in the
sky No love lost baby, the
future is so bright (Kill... television! Kill... television! Kill... television!) (Difficult... isn't it?)
