Head Rush Passing
Before the head rush passes
After the midnight flashes
When I forget about all the girls
and their perfume gasses
Can’t forget your lines either
Be you a fisherman or a preacher
I’ve forgotten mine so many times,
I’m surprised I haven’t met the reaper
Fucked pacing but it feels right
Heart of cold steel will melt in the sunlight
Another dog got put down, another one
caged in the pound, this makes the kind folk tight
Kaleidoscope mosaic in the corner of a chapel
You can either make out a dancer or see a jackal
Both of them luring in their prey, but none can
blame their ways, because it’s an issue too hard to tackle
Fisherman scream because the fish start swimming
Obscenity is a speciality when they aren’t winning
So much envy in the hearts of the masses, pride held
by the few with all the gold facets, but we’re all still sinning
Do fish care? I don’t imagine so
They have brains, but they can’t imagine, so
What’s the point of putting the blame on them?
There isn’t, so let’s get on with the imagination again.
Changed up the flow just a little
Meat don’t cook when it stays unturned on the griddle
Analogy is a travesty, please continue the flanking of her majesty
since she did it all oh-so gradually, calling it gravity
Meaning doesn’t mean much
You look at dogs and they say, “ruff”
Because for many, life has been tough,
but I can’t complain, I still haven’t seen much
Before the head rush passes,
after my midnight flashes,
forget about all the girls and their perfume gasses,
remember the big fish, the biggest catches
You’ll remember love, in loads and masses,
and not become one of the clans in clashes
Because we dogs have too much to lose,
we bark up a storm, only for the lightning to let loose
Then we all get striked with a mighty electric sword
from Heaven, and that’ll put the devil back into use
