Under The Influence Lyrics - Mobile Estates - Citizen King

Now, out past the cast of boredom 

Cards get dealt I sift and sort them 

Table rooftops coming down 

Wooden nickels lost and found 

Apple pie I'm eating cake now 

Coming to the table late now 

Juke joint fights and diamond lights 

Immune to poison ivy snake bites 

Batteries from start to chuck 

Got the outer limits voodoo luck 

Stand by on a Highball holiday 

Served fresh from a plastic tray 

I've been around and up and down 

Overboard when the ship came down 

Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light 

I'm under the influence tonight 

Well, on the concrete on the glass 

Beyond the neon green bus pass 

Nowhere fast is where I'm going 

Like a crack that's slowly leaking 

Juice on the floor 

I do a little less, I take a little more time 

Day to day and eye to eye 

When these walls become alive 

When these walls become alive 

I've been around and up and down 

Overboard when the ship came down 

Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light 

I'm under the influence 

I've been around and up and down 

Overboard when the ship came down 

Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light 

I'm under the influence tonight 

The sparkle helmet spins around 

Midnight streak in a twist top town 

Crystal clear through amber glasses 

Bad with names but worse with faces 

Zig zag wandering on the curve 

Transparent Mason Dixon curves 

I've got more nerve than a Tiki torch in a quiet storm 

'Cause I'm searching for the third kind 

Blast off and cut the cord 

Blast off and cut the cord 

The time has come to go out of your mind 

I've been around and up and down 

Overboard when the ship came down 

Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light 

I'm under the influence tonight 

I'm under the influence tonight 

I'm under the influence
