I must obey the rules. I must be tame and cool. No staring at the clouds. I must stay on the ground. . In clusters of the mice. The smoke is in our eyes.
Follow me into the desert. As thirsty as you are. Crack a smile and cut your mouth. And drown in alcohol. 'Cause down below the truth is lying. Beneath the river bed quench yourself and drink the water.
Nothing, seems to kill me. No matter how hard I try. Nothing's closing my eyes. Nothing can beat me down. For your pain or delight, no. . And nothing, seems to break me.
In my eyes. Indisposed. In disguises no one knows. Hides the face. Lies the snake. And the sun in my disgrace. Boiling heat. Summer stench. 'Neath the black, the sky looks dead.
Time ain't nothing if it ain't fast. Taking everything that you ever had. And giving nothing in return. But a cold bed in the quiet earth. If there's a door to every cell.
