The Man with the Plastic Suns |
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 |
