[00:51.79] In the corner of the morning
[00:54.19] in the past
[00:56.65] I would sit and blame
[00:58.32] the master first and last
[01:01.94] All the roads were
[01:02.93] straight and narrow
[01:04.38] And the prayers were
[01:05.53] small and yellow
[01:06.91] And the rumour spread
[01:08.26] that I was aging fast
[01:12.12] Then I ran across a monster
[01:14.77] who was sleeping
[01:15.82] By a tree
[01:17.49] And I looked and frowned
[01:18.99] and the monster was me
[01:30.40] Well I said hello
[01:31.60] and I said hello
[01:35.03] And I asked "Why not"
[01:36.78] and I replied "I don't know"
[01:40.31] So we asked a simple black bird
[01:43.12] who was happy as can be
[01:45.81] And he laughed insane
[01:47.25] and quipped "KAHLIL GIBRAN"
[01:50.87] And I cried for all the others
[01:52.98] till the day was nearly through
[01:56.25] For I realized that
[01:57.78] God's a young man too
[03:00.83] Oh I said "So long"
[03:02.23] and I waved "Bye-bye"
[03:05.99] And I smashed my soul
[03:07.39] and traded my mind
[03:11.52] Got laid by a young bordello
[03:14.11] Who was vaguely half asleep
[03:16.28] For which my reputation
[03:18.09] swept back home in drag
[03:21.62] And the moral of
[03:22.62] this magic spell
[03:24.48] Negotiates my hide
[03:26.70] When God did take my logic
[03:29.05] for a ride
[03:34.30] Riding along
[05:11.62] oooooh
[05:25.04] oooooh
[05:39.43] He swallowed his pride
[05:40.43] and puckered his lips
[05:43.22] And showed me the leather belt
[05:44.28] round his hips
[05:46.65] My knees were shaking
[05:47.80] my cheeks aflame
[05:50.05] He said "You'll never go down
[05:51.30] to the Gods again"
[05:52.76] Turn around go back
[05:54.23] He struck the ground
[05:55.15] a cavern appeared
[05:57.54] And I smelt the burning
[05:58.90] pit of fear
[06:01.52] We crashed a thousand yards below
[06:04.50] I said "Do it again
[06:06.05] do it again"
[06:07.13] Turn around go back
[06:08.63] His nebulous body swayed above
[06:12.18] His tongue swollen
[06:13.13] with devil's love
[06:15.83] The snake and I
[06:16.84] a venom high
[06:18.89] I said "Do it again
[06:20.29] do it again"
[06:21.20] Turn around go back
[06:22.95] Breathe breathe
[06:23.92] breathe deeply
[06:25.81] And I was seething
[06:26.86] breathing deeply
[06:30.08] Spitting sentry
[06:30.98] horned and tailed
[06:33.68] Waiting for you
[07:30.57] ooooh
[07:44.97] ooooh
