i was on the shore watching the waves come n go
thinkin' 'bout gluttony blood-money gold greed n oil
cuz i lost my mind it cost my soul tryin' to I Me Mine
pieces of the American Dream outta California
cuz competitions grizzly there's just not enough for everyone
water's rare as you stare it evaporates into
starlight on a silver screen
dreams like
liquid
gold
while I was on beach playin' make believe
with standing' hands of time mine made castles outta sand

I'm headin' west blindly into a blood red sunset
I wanna meet my wild side gotta repeatin rifle by my side
Ya I'm gonna manifest me some destiny
you'll know what I mean
Ya anyone else give it up or else ima gun you down
Blood on the ground
Cuz I want all
all the gold
(n maybe your soul)
Ya n I staked my claim lookin' for the vein
I lit my last match so dynamite prove me right
Ore of the motherlode, god damn, what a sight
Ya I'm gonna manifest me some destiny
you'll know what I mean
Ya anyone else give it up or else ima gun you down
Blood on the ground
Cuz I want all
all the gold
(n maybe your soul)
cuz pacific mists hid Andreas frailty until she unzipped her size six
Ya I'm gonna manifest my own destiny
Anyone else get outta my way
Ya cuz I want it all
I want it all
Ya I want it all
All the gold

Ya well I'm diggin' down deep
Wanna make the earth bleed
Gonna make that oil sing
Ya letter burn she pendant
Like an engine idol you got ah rev' it
Like a sex machine you know it don't work alone
it needs your gasoline, you know what I mean, baby
Ya I'm diggin' down deep
Wanna make the earth bleed
Gonna find that gasoline
{here it come now}
Men in denim cushion the grow op
Men in denim hackin' down all the old growth redwood
Men in denim they saggin' but ya shoulda guessed they packin' heat
Well maybe we all dug a little too deep
and awoke a beast

well I guess i gotta get so obscure that I finally disappear
n all i wanted your focus 'stead I'm left here suckin' your attention
but don't worry cuz i think i'm pretty good at caring for things
but all my friends been tellin' me that everything i touch I destroy
ya so can i keep you or am I loosin' you
ya i ask can i keep you baby or am i gonna loose you?
cuz ya see i'm tryin' to build me up a whole new kind life
It's gotta make up for all the mistakes of my past lives combined
cuz i think i'm pretty good at building things
but lately it seems that everything i touch, they just fall apart
ya so can i keep you in one piece or am i loosin' you
i say can i keep you baby or am i loosin' you?
i couldn't bear the thought
i couldn't take it
no no no
all alone n this desert
with no water

on the freeway like a comet flying through the sky so high
whoa

some shit iz goin' down
maybe the earth is openin' up
gonna split
cuz it's the riff't openin' up under your feet
gonna swallow you whole
bring you down below
and that ain't nowhere you wanna go
look at that, all the colors
comin' on
the sun's goin' down

but the stars ya they watchin' me
they must know somethin' i don't
you wouldn't even believe
they're kickin' all kinds of shit at me tryin' to undress all my secrets
ya they even lookin' up my dress guess they know enough about
mercury venus n mars ya even cassini's seen saturns ring
while the stars they watch patiently
just fallin' to pieces daily
ya ya ya what now
ya when's it gonna be my time when will the stars shine on me and mine
cuz the pluto that chu know he's just a dirty rock chillin' in my scotch
ya dissolvin'
like the stars they die
ya they come apart
so that we might live a little bit
alrigh' now goin' down
ya cuz i'm the devil
n i'm gonna take ya down
doooown
I wanna own ya
I wanna take control
I've come for completion
I won't stop until i come
'till there's nothin' I won't know
ya nothin' i ain't gonna own
cuz ya know i want it all
the stars they got to know
i wanna know what the stars know
they so old
me down here on earth maybe i got a hundred years

Rainbow Alley
04:48
|

|
well the tunnel at the end of the road
glows
with every known color
and i know cuz when i was alive
my eyes saw
what did they see?
those red roses blossom in the sky
while the orange sun was sittin' on her yellow fence
stealin' the green remnants my jealousy left behind
from wanting to be a beautiful as the blue sky
as beautiful as the blue sky
that indigo let fly after seeing violets' reprise
my end has come so 'scuse me if i cry
but i'm moved to tears by the beauty of my
rainbow alley
