Bottoms up, Socrates |
They came marching down the street in robes |
In the spirit of the Spanish inquisition |
Guitars and trombones |
Mechanical monkeys make good musicians |
Street urchins, the smugglers and dingos |
Dead languages and living man’s lingos |
Put the relics of a saint in a glass box |
And march him around the block |
Hangin' on the words of a mad man |
Islands in the abyss |
No use for the poet |
When the hopeless seek no bliss |
Mason jars of petroleum |
You know those kids don’t play |
And should you ever get a hold of them |
I’ll tell you exactly what they’ll say: |
«Time we told you son about the family curse» |
And when they open up the diary to gain an explanation |
They find only terminal verse |
Hangin' on the words of a mad man |
Islands in the abyss |
No use for the poet |
When the hopeless seek no bliss |
X-ray visions, eye in the sky |
And the naked being led by the blind |
So bottoms up now, socrates |
Hemloc straight up goes down easy |
Hangin' on the words of a mad man |
Islands in the abyss |
No use for the poet |
When the hopeless seek no bliss |
X-ray visions, eye in the sky |
The naked being led by the blind |
So bottoms up now, socrates |
Hemlock tastes like ripple wine |
X-ray visions, eye in the sky |
The naked being led by the blind |
So bottoms up now, socrates |
Hemloc straight up goes down easy |
