Hot Soft Light |
| I was not involved up at the Northtown Mall |
| As a matter of fact I didn’t even know that that’s where it happened |
| I was France Ave. when they came out dancing |
| I was Lyndale South, I was kicking it with cousins |
| We were talking about going clubbin' but instead we just started drinkin' |
| I’ve been straight since the Cinco de Mayo |
| But before that I was blotto |
| I was blacked out |
| I was cracked out |
| I was caved in |
| You should’ve seen all these portals |
| That I’ve powered up in |
| Started recreational |
| Ended kinda medical |
| It came on hot and soft |
| And then it tightened up its tentacles |
| I wasn’t there |
| I was blind, high, I was scared |
| I was Lake and Columbus, I was cutting off all my hair |
| I was unfurling a flag of defiance aimed at my guidance guy |
| So this is it |
| This is the end of the session |
| And I ain’t gonna be taking any more questions |
| I think my attorney’s gonna second that notion |
| Started recreational |
| Ended kinda medical |
| And it came on hot and soft |
| And then it tightened up its tentacles |
| And the band played «Screaming for Vengeance» |
| And we agreed, this world is mostly manacled |
| It started ice cream social nice |
| It ended up all white and ecumenical |
| There are guys, there are guys, there are guys, there are guys |
| With the wild eyes when they ask to get you high |
| There are girls, there are girls, there are girls, there are girls |
| That’ll come to you with comfort in the night |
| That’s right |
| Started recreational |
| Ended kinda medical |
| It came on hot and soft |
| And then it tightened up its tentacles |
| And the band played «Sabbath Bloody Sabbath» |
| You thought it was stormy and adorable |
| It started in the vestibule |
| It ended in the hospital |
| There are guys, there are guys, there are guys, there are guys |
| With the wild eyes when they ask to get you high |
| There are girls, there are girls, there are girls, there are girls |
| That’ll come to you with comfort in the night |
| There are nights, there are nights, there are nights, there are nights |
| When it all comes on a little bit too bright |
| There’s a cross, there’s a cross, there’s a cross, there’s a cross |
| And in the center, there is a hot, soft light |
