I see myself but don't see me
Two burning eyes that don't agree While in the shades there's someone Following my every little movement from the score I call a friend who's never there Too tired for love too tired to care while in the shade there's someone Ridiculing every little moment I adore (yeah) I fold and fall down on a knee and ask a God that I can't see If maybe He or She will call on me The days they pass with no relief my head all swollen up with grief Then somethin' awaketh me from sleep I can't get loose to using you but that's what I'm a gonna do Havin' fun in heaven while you're crucified I can't get loose to using you but that's what I'm a gonna do Watching lillie's flower while your hands are tied Did you just hear what I just heard Or have I simply gone beserk Cos in the shades there's someone Laughing at my whimsical intentions to be free Two burning minds that don't agree One praying hoping desperately While in the shade there's someone Wallowing in what I know will never happen now (yeah) I crash and fall down on my knee and beg a God that I can't see If maybe He or She will call on me The days just pass with no relief my head all swollen up with grief Then somethin' awaketh me from sleep I can't get loose to using you but that's what I'm a gonna do Havin' fun in heaven while you're crucified I can't get loose to using you but that's what I'm a gonna do Watching lillie's flower while your hands are tied |

I feel good. I feel bad. Ain't it sad
One day it's all going to end Up in flames. Without a shame Cos I'm here. To change the total course of the world (yeah yeah) And that's what I'm singing (yeah yeah) Heat it up. Cool it down Spread it around under the cold shadow of love. I have found (I have found) What it means (what it means). To believe (to believe) And leave the world to the remains Of the day (of the day). What I say (what I say). Ain't so clear (ain't so clear) To souls who die when the decline Can't be seen (can't be seen). They're getting mean (they're getting mean) Now we're going (now we're going) To change the total course (chorus) Here am I. Love just spilled on what comes naturally. Buy and bye Love just spills and I don't mean rationally What it means. Is you're dead One to the head. If you don't know what is behind. This disguise. It's no surprise. When you think About your own every step of the way The energy pirates will get you They'll chew on your bones for breakfast They'll convince you that baby you're desperate They'll spit on your mound and keep pounding and pounding and (repeat chorus) All the time. Love just comes and I don't mean casually. Wait a while Love will come and fuck that tragedy (Cancel that shrink we're travelling up to the sky minds on the blink Or maybe the lies. Out of time) I have found. What it means. To believe That what is all going to end Up in flames. Is your heart So let it speak. And change the total course of the world |

When God appeared before me I was drowning in my pool
I was fifty over thirty but lookin' real cool He said a life of tedious insights and an overflowing cup Just don't cut the mustard I'm afraid you can't come up I fell way down it seemed into a bottomless pit A sign saying "Hotel Hades" was the only thing a-lit Beelzebub was hangin' but he wouldn't cut no slack He told me the big cat hath spoken I'm afraid you're going back as the Jazz Devil. Full and greedy I'm the Jazz Devil. Libido needy I'm the Jazz Devil, fly me in the mix Where you can call me agent double-oh six-six-six I cruise the streets of London with just one thing on my mind Gotta passport labelled fun of the interactive kind But first I found some cats and they were howling at the moon I told 'em you play the instruments and I'll play the buffoon We broke into a sombre march called "Misery and Woe" And then we upped the tempo 'til the juice began to flow All a sudden this chick named Mimi just appeared right outta the blue Sayin' I've been searchin' for someone and now I know who Jazz Devil. Sick and racy I'm the Jazz Devil. But very tasty I'm the Jazz Devil, fly me in the mix Where you can call me agent double-oh six-six-six Me and Mimi settled down in the family kinda way Won ten million on the lottery without no debt to pay And in the wee small hours when there was no place left to spend We'd open up each other so the days would never end Some jealous cats caught wind of this and armed up to the teeth They came in search of me and she with their pistols underneath And they caught me going down a thing that made them just see red And as Mimi hit the no return they filled me fulla lead Damn… I'm dead! When God appeared before me I was lyin' in a pool I was fifty over thirty but lookin' real cool He said a life of tedious insights and a tendency to crack Just don't cut the mustard time to head on back I fell way down I knew into a bottomless pit (Oh no here we go) The sign saying "Hotel Hades" is the only sign that's lit Beezelbub was hangin' but he never cuts no slack He says, the big cat hath spoken again you're going back as the Jazz Devil. Every mornin hail the Jazz Devil. Cos as long as days keep dawnin' I'm the Jazz Devil, fly me in the mix you know that I am agent double-oh six-six-six (wow) |

And still I rise
God beams down from his Red velour chaise longue where he scans "Thigh High" magazine and just gets right on with the business in hand. His reverence is interrupted by the sounds of seduction and keeping himself in check he screams "who the hell else is here, show thyself that I may be at peace once more" but… Still I rise "Who the hell else, who the hell else?" It is I Anaestheus the king of lust, king of all that is unjust putting ideas into the minds of men, chained to the tracks by their own desires and frittering away the choice to live amongst the most noble the most magnificent, the most that a man can possibly be but… Still I rise As a bright red capital A hits the centre plate. I grit somebody else's teeth and haul off to the next spot, my life taking on new meaning as I tread the unknown, blinkered and shivering with candle snot trickling down my beak, landing on my lip which gives me more food for thought as I fall down drunk and screw up the union but… Still I rise Angels place their hands on my forehead, the anaesthetic now splitting the death probe while surgeons hack and crack, spilling more claret than the time they kissed the sober dawn. Move on up to leg mountain and pluck out the chosen one, my mind is full from memory overload, the anaesthetic truck like shot, drains I.V.s and a back fulla 'phine but… Still I rise Walk with the king, the son and myself and the whole damn ministry. Sleeping under bright lights that keep watch over our every move (takes a while but we'll get there baby) and so we stroll, remembering Albert Johanson, Albert Adamson, the soul murdered father, the Moss Side tory the negro inside me, the man with the Golden hip bone connected to the… devil's fucking plaything |

There's like a bad dream creepin' in the scene
Stinkin' rotten dirty when I thought that I was clean And now there's no more heads up off the floor It's breakin' and it's entered and it's closer to the core You plant a love seed but hatred only breed So now I'm gonna shove it in the place you used to feed So help me good God I'm nailed into this spot It's time to sink my teeth into everything I've got to save me Oh the cats are bustin' mine and screamin' "Faster, harder, faster, harder, faster" Oh the world seems so sublime Then what do you know The monkey speaks his mind Midnight a fist fulla dynamite I'm starin' at this crystal and the future isn't bright I'm packin' no zees and nightmares reek of cheese When everything was peachy and we only shot the breeze But sadly no more there's rocks against the door It's beaten and it's battered and its head's an open sore I'm in my sick den and pounded by the yen Time to pass the thirty-eight and all begin again and then a Oh the bulls are bustin' mine and screamin' "Faster, harder, faster, harder, faster" Oh and man they'll break your spine Every time your monkey speaks his mind I gotta black skin with Satan kickin' in And underneath my hide he put an evil dorsal fin So see my blood need all swollen up with greed It takes a piece of nothin' 'til I'm finally relieved So give me no more I've said it all before It's suckin' on my juices like a plague I can't ignore Before my soul rot afraid I gotta cop I'm thinkin' 'bout the free list and I think I'd rather not Cos baby… Oh the chicks are bustin' mine and screamin' "Faster, harder, faster, harder, faster" Oh, this couch feels so sublime Then what do you know The monkey speaks his mind My people are you with me sing… VIVA LA REVOLUTION! |
