Nux Vomica |
What say you, Lord |
For the olive boys down in the house of corrections |
As they try for love and any form of ascension |
Am I on the right train headed in the wrong direction |
What say you, Lord |
What say you, Lord |
Am I living wrong |
Do you see a long road with no one on it |
And the right of men that you learnt only to forget |
You see my sad wife and my high margin of profit |
But you don’t care at all |
You don’t care |
At all |
What say you, Lord |
Now that they’re breeding all our animals insane |
And the remedy is growing harder to obtain |
There’s a white horse running wild through the switch-cane |
I can hear him now |
And I fear him |
'Til Kingdom come |
Caught in this frenzy of elimination |
Such an irreparable disintegration |
My body’s twitching with a ready expectation |
For Kingdom come |
My Kingdom |
Come |
What say you, Lord |
Why is the truth of this so hard to unveil? |
Though it’s true I never knew what this would entail |
From the hands of Christ to the heads of the Daily Mail |
I’ll see you all |
And I’ll raise you |
Lord |
Now what say you, all |
I wonder when the light is brought up for sale |
With the weight of love and the grace of the Baleen Whale |
Will the severed Heads of State be at all curtailed |
Will they be here at all — |
Will they be dead and gone? |
What say you Lord |
Of the serpent-taled, forbidden fish of the harbours |
And the ready-men, defiant drinkers and charmers |
All lost and summoning the face of their fathers |
Can you see them now? |
I can see them |
What say you, all |
Do I believe it if I do not want it |
Do I lie alone and keeps my cold hands off it |
Honey, it ain’t hard to loose your grip in the midst of all of this |
But it ain’t far to fall |
It’s not far at all |
Pain |
