MURDER PAWNS HAVIN' A BAWL AT YOUR EXPENSE, GOTTA GIVE IT UP

Alpha see what I'm talkin' 'bout but you can't believe your eye's got so blind

Beta gotta go pretty soon but I don't want to leave you in the lerch, it's AOK

Therefore, I'm leavin' everything I own to you, all matter and energy to find

Faith & Hope will never get you Charity, I guarantee you that is face, I say.

Quite a burn dear father of my mother, left to fend for herself in a holy Hell

Compared to the alternative, this living is as good as it gets in a jar of Bell

Wringin' wet, too hot near the core of burning ol' sol, 93 million kliks o' fun

Far enough but not too far to lose my breath and heartbeat, logic & reason.

Got serious after I was mostly kidding around, using sarcasm and criticism

To rise to the top of the cream, above the milk and spoiled cow juice of him

Or her, whichever raised a dope from the apeman baby to the godson's Ids

Prejudice for the ones that look at me, abhorance naturally for all odd kids.

In the Kool-Aide everything is cherry or grape or lemonade, come on man!

Playing games & entering a serious mode of unity in multiplicity, I'm a fan

Follow me down the rabbit hole, Alice knew the way but her flashbacks on

Nothing anyone can do about that, what Alice knows only she knows, Son.

Finding the lost right there in front of the line waiting to come back in, bust

A move now and then to find the other ones hanging around waiting for you

To be or not to be like angels or devils, alive or another world's wanderlust

My bad illusion, twisted and turned inside out, now I own it, a strange brew.

Always was inside since a first light appeared as a golden dawn crack bust

Never ahead after that, known one thing for certain, I'm the only Id, Godson

Millions have lived & died already, millions alive now will be dead & gone

It's soul man, soul black lead that's immortal, bones, skin tight, gold dust.
