Dead Man's Float |
Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on |
Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on |
Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on |
Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on |
Yea as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death |
We shall fear no evil |
For we are the most evil motherfuckers in whatever valley we choose to occupy |
Gentrify, overtake or drunkenly speed through |
And it’s we, the hitchhikers with tired thumbs |
Often greeted by middle fingers, imagery lingered as the tires spun (it's |
tiresome) |
Now conserve your energy and lay face-down in the waterways |
Seek guidance from the sirens calling out to you from those watery graves |
Bodies are on display, bloated and holding their crown jewels |
Instead of flotation devices, they decided the house rules didn’t apply to them |
Got baptised in the name of Neptune and then died for him |
When the ice was thin, dead man’s float for those who don’t like to swim |
Don’t fret cause help is on its way, it’ll be here any day |
Just stay still and do nothing buddy, remain faithful, you’re gonna be saved |
And when you meet your maker you can explain |
How there was a cemetery of support behind every wager that you placed |
All the chorus of every deceased beast that came before is sweetly saying |
«We all float down here and wait for riptide to sweep us away» |
To the valley of the shadow where we shall fear no evil |
For we are so cerebral, we, the ghost people |
With the poke of a needle, pop of a pill, we, the pole survivalists |
Holding onto the steeple like a lightning rod to show that we die for this |
It’s been said «faith could move a mountain» |
Faith couldn’t even move low-income families away from Biblical floods when |
they were all drowning |
There’s not a doubt in my mind and there’s not a cloud in the sky |
There’s just contaminated rivers filled with waterlogged subordinates floating |
on by |
Float on |
Swimming through iron limbs of the knighted stiffs |
The skeletal remains of false praise, the slow decay of yesterday’s recycled |
gifts |
They’re drowning in sorrow cause they pray with clenched fists |
Shamed by the broken promise of tomorrow, the guilt sticks to the ribs |
And it’s ageless, and it’s ancient, and it ain’t shit |
When compared to the present, so all hail the king |
While the paupers and peasants return to the so-called essence |
The war, the famine, the death, the pestilence |
Float on |
Float on, float on |
Float on, float on |
As I proceed to finger the prints |
The worst of luck ain’t always bestowed upon the old and weak |
We stick em, hahaha, stick em where the ocean’s deep |
Go to sleep young one, have sweet dreams of someone |
That you’ll never meet, but you’ll speak of often whenever you talk in tongues |
The coffin comes in the form of a canoe, no paddle |
No info, no manual, live slow, don’t be so quick to storm the castle |
That’s survival kids, put an oxygen mask inside the tackle box |
Your limbs and abdomen will sense when the pressure of the cabin drops |
Shut up when the captain talks, the secret of the enlightened |
Is to preach against whatever it is they practice in the dark |
We’re all born free, we die by the shackles we adopt |
Enjoy your buoyancy, right up until the very last drop |
The dead man’s float, the deadpan joke |
The cold touch of a stranger, the left hand stroke |
There’s no right hand man, the bedpan spill, the dead man’s still |
Face-down in his own waste, while we chase |
A shadow in the gallows of the valley of death |
Where we shall fear no evil for as long as we can hold our breath |
Float on |
