| My daddy played in a vegas band, he made an alright decent living playing big
|
| band standards for business men and their paid asian escorts
|
| Till he started up gambling and in one hand lost 50 grand, bet it all on four
|
| kings but somebody had aces
|
| They called him the man with the plastic suns rumored to kill cops just for fun,
|
| or made a fortune scamming old ladies in nursing homes
|
| Oh the man with the plastic suns, invents diseases just for fun,
|
| oh he blackmailes rainbows to turn into nooses
|
| So I dropped out of high school and got a job selling phones at the mall
|
| But I could make twice as much money taking my shirt off at the cocktail bar
|
| My daddy pawned all his guitars but he was still 30 000 short, then one day
|
| three rancid ruthless men broke down the door
|
| First they butchered his whole right hand, oh he never played trumpet again,
|
| pay up by Friday or we’re coming back for your cock and your kneecaps
|
| He----y give us our money or we’ll break your fucking legs---lets race to the
|
| desert
|
| He=y I could use a stiff drink, or just some time to think—lets race the
|
| badlands lets race the ocean
|
| My daddy stopped leaving the house, and he drank and he drank and he drank,
|
| stayed up all night talking to pictures of my dead mother
|
| Then I found him in the basement smashing tv’s on the cement filling swimming
|
| pools gasoline and drawings of angels
|
| Oh mr plastic suns won’t you have some mercy on me
|
| Oh mr plastic suns won’t you let my poor daddy be
|
| Hey give us our money or we’ll break your fucking legs lets race the desert
|
| Hey I could use a stiff drink or just some time to think lets race the badlands
|
| Hey you walk into a postcard of somewhere in London
|
| Hey theres a loft party down the street music dripping down from the trees bass
|
| blazing tranquilizing beats voices of people you’d like to meet
|
| So I took a pistol and put on a low cut shirt
|
| Found the man with the plastic suns at the crap table and started to flirt
|
| Hey a man was shot today took six bullets to the face
|
| Hey the rumour on the street is that the suspect is sixteen
|
| Hey the man with the plastic sun was pronounced dead on arrival
|
| Hey and an ex musician hung himself in a suburban attic yeah the desert is
|
| laughing the desert is mourning |
