Word Of Mouth |
| Well I see a girl that’s blue like the sea |
| When I go to sleep you know that she sees me, too |
| Oh yeah just standing around like the popular kids |
| Just hoping Saint Peter will let us in too |
| He says, «If you value your life, stay off the drugs |
| If you value the drugs, stay off the map |
| If you value them maps, you’d better travel, son |
| And if you don’t want to travel then you’d better run, yeah.» |
| (Vocalizing) |
| Yeah well I knew a king in his purple throne |
| You know that he had some trouble so he’s all alone now |
| Well I used to bring him little presents from time to time |
| He’d sit me in his castle and he’d pick my mind |
| He said, «If you value your heart, stay on the road |
| If you value the road, stay on the top |
| If you value the top, you’re gonna suffer son |
| And if you don’t wanna suffer then you’d better run, yeah.» |
| (Vocalizing) |
| Well I see my boss in his practical suit |
| You know I’ll toss him in the cellar, won’t give him no food |
| Yeah, when anybody tries to tell him what to do |
| He holds his breath until he turns blue |
| He says, «If you value your job, stay out of crime |
| If you value the crime, stay out of doors |
| If you value them doors, you’d better lock 'em son |
| And if you don’t want to lock 'em, you’d better buy a gun.» |
| (Vocalizing) |
| Yeah, well I saw a snake in an apple tree |
| You know I didn’t trust a word that he hissed to me, no! |
| Yeah he said, «It must be getting awful lonely trying to save the world; |
| Just buy a collared shirt and try to fuck some girls.» |
| He said, «If you value your limbs, stay in the game |
| If you value the game, stay in that style |
| If you value that style, you’re sinking son |
| And if you don’t want to sink, then you better run.» |
| (Vocalizing) |
