Try the Wine
“How do you do,” with a surreptitious smile she said to me
How could I know this life would ache like a hurricane in silence
Only you could shed my tears
Why my dear, those aubergine trellises look sublime, dressed in turquoise and iodine
Time makes fools out of all of us dear, try the wine, colored rose red and alkaline
“Where is the light?” With an apprehensive zeal she said to me
How could I know that light would sear like the sun has come to visit
Only this could set me free
Why my dear, those aubergine trellises look sublime, dressed in turquoise and iodine
Time makes fools out of all of us dear, try the wine, colored rose red and alkaline
Get on the roof, we’ll count the stars
Get on the roof, we’ll count the stars
Get on the roof, we’ll count the stars
Get on the roof, we’ll count the stars
I know that face, that cathode ray tube with a bandit’s golden lips
The colors don’t look right, destruction and mirth within the crevices
My life can’t go like this
Why my dear, there’s nothing else to do but tell a lie, in the form of an alibi
Time makes fools out of all of us dear, try the wine, colored rose red and alkaline
I called her name, and nothing came in from the creek I shouted forth
The water didn’t speak, she leapt from the waterfall and perished
Only she could let me be
Why my dear, there’s nothing else to do but tell a lie, in the form of an alibi
Time makes fools out of all of us dear, try the wine, colored rose red and alkaline
Sewer rats in polo fit
Possums with the bolo drip
Blossoms Bubbles Buttercups
On some
Never catch em solo shit
League of Sedentary figures
You'd think
Dude had signed to solo mid
Bombs away it's wrong to stay
Unless you
Tryna catch a hollow tip
Here's the thing I wanna know
Why the fuck you running bro?
Choose to crash with those you love
Or
Jump and say Geronimo
Down the hatch and out the back
It's, up to you to swallow tho
Puffing cigs outside the bar, they ask me "can I get a follow?" No
Dreams are just reality but less fun
If it's scary wake up try the next one
See them cheer or jeer it don't concern me
Bitbeast when grip the mic you'll get spun
Negative poles are better than no charge at all
Positive roles are probably closed, try the mall
Told them fly was here to stay, this the proof
Get on the roof, we’ll count the stars
Get on the roof, we’ll count the stars
Get on the roof, we’ll count the stars
Get on the roof, we’ll count the stars
