lyrics

“there are these odd little incidents that tend to build up and that you tend to shove in a filing drawer just marked ‘weird stuff’.”

hook
i can stitch a wing with a six string (six string)
i can pick a dream out the mud (out the mud yea)
i can make a sick fiend seem pristine (pristine)
if you gon wipe me down clean me up (clean me up yea)
i don’t need a king no Elohim (Elohim)
i can see the cream from the crud (from the crud yea)
ima sew these Ernie Balls on an eagle wing (an eagle wing)
if you can’t hold me down bring me up (if you can’t hold me down pfft fuck it)

inkline
yea i been going up i guess i must fall / i just hope they show me love with the trust fall / there’s a couple shelves that i gotta dust off / but i gotta do it for myself i don’t trust y’all / caught between a rock and a tough spot / hard headed thought process like a musk ox/ used to cop fresh drops at the bus stop / i assumed you knew who you dealing with (must not) / just stopped to smell the roses at the grave site / that’s that old me (yea) that’s that snake bite / that’s an old sad story told by the cave light / have you ever seen a baby face on a great white / safe flight to the moon on the dark side / Syd Barrett on a cruise in the archives / that part i’m blues on guitar / got booze for the barfly lookin for a dark dive

hook
uhh yea i can stitch a wing with a six string (six string)
i can pick a dream out the mud (out the mud yea)
i can make a sick fiend seem pristine (pristine)
if you gon wipe me down clean me up (clean me up yea)
i don’t need a king no Elohim (Elohim)
i can see the cream from the crud (from the crud yea)
ima sew these Ernie Balls on an eagle wing (an eagle wing)
if you can’t hold me down bring me up (if you can’t hold me down pfft)

kano
bring me up up up up bring me up
bring me up up up up clean me up
keep me up up up up keep me up
bring me up up up up up up
I’ve been down down down down down On the ground
when a tree hits the floor it don’t even make a sound
If you ain’t here around
I bounce in the echo
Down from the get go
On the ground like a gecko
Let me pound on the pedals ramps I ain’t scared of
I hit em full speed
I wanna bleed out on the metal
I got secrets I won’t tell you
I only speak in rhymes
I got weapons I ain’t stepping with until I think it’s time
A sorcerer I know I was
Precision with a crystal ball
Now I tuck my wand when I’m done and I’m like bitch get off
I stick my dolls to see if they would move if they were threatened cuz when I die ima spell out their names in my jelly
When the dragons do get me I’m dragging you with me
They showed me how to move as I ooze thru the city
With a six string and then echo it like you in space, dude.

inkline
transition from physical to spiritual plane (yea yea) / hard to find the words when the wisdom’s estranged (hmm) / easy to keep it real live simple and plain /
but harder to be still keep it civil and sane (dang) / set an intention set the sigil aflame (uh huh) / i’m twisting hog legs for the pivotal pain (yea) / if it’s not dead it’s lookin grim in the game / if you started all alone alone it’s prolly ending the same / it’s like tryna make it on a wing a prayer / magic carpet gps hit the genie repair uhh / i’m lampin on the astral plane ya ain’t even there / so i’m polishing my shine put some gleam on the glare / i’m the wizard blowing smoke rings seen in the air / looking like a chem trail it’s the season to share / yea harvest life’s fruit from the tree when it bear / dose some Alice in the chalice for the king in the chair / laser beam dreams with precision to spare / i’m everywhere yeah

hook
uhh i can stitch a wing with a six string (six string)
i can pick a dream out the mud (out the mud yea)
i can make a sick fiend seem pristine (pristine)
if you gon wipe me down clean me up (clean me up yea)
i don’t need a king no Elohim (Elohim)
i can see the cream from the crud (from the crud yea)
ima sew these Ernie Balls on an eagle wing (an eagle wing)
if you can’t hold me down bring me up (if you can’t hold me down)

“with a complete description and it says here, ‘ each wizard has mastered a certain type of magick. when you meet a wizard he will give you four basic elements of his mystical studies.’ so then here it says, ‘it is important to remember that the source of all magick is the Life Force of the user’.”
