Cry long on this heavy word There’s freedom in the strangers who howl with the dogs Cry big on this heavy earth You’re weightless in space but it’s down here that you’re heard When your vision to view is silhouetted and skewed By the snakes in your skin and the straps on your shoes Pin your hopes in the dirt by the side of the road Raise a hand when you bellow the call We can tell you tall tales if it’s all the same Spinning those bottles and watch you levitate Leave your nightmares for the sleeping and your open heart break Dance all to hell I said for heavens sake Merry road and merry hell The devil danced but the devil fell We rise up singing strong in the early morn There’s always room for one more Walk the ancients and the shadows that fall All for the taking and it’s one for all When you get a gang of rouges up on there feet To stand true in the family Take it, take it, take it all Give it right back when you hear the call Scream love from deep down in your lungs Chase our lucky stars out round the back of the sun Passing stranger what do you know? In your hands what do you hold? You tread lightly on this heavy earth With a feather in your cap from the wings of the muse Tie us up in strings to show us that new trick Too many here are just stuck in the fix Cry loud on this heavy earth Run with the strange and sleep with the mould

Francisco stands with a cape in his hand He’s the height of a man and a son on this land Came quick to change the rules of the game With blood-lust, smoke and mirrors to play What will he take and what will he give He’ll take an arm, he’ll take a leg And let you never forget Lead you by the nose when there’s blood to be let Here come the bulls let ‘em through let ’em through We’re coming out just for you This dance is a dance of red mist Why did it ever come to this? All dressed for the knife Where will the sun set today? On Romero with a glass in his hand And my body lying under the clay No blood from the bull No flash of the knife No hand in the ring And no crowd sat in the dust When the sun beats down And you cover your face And the red of your lips Passes a tongue that lusts for ruin No blood from the bull Here we are now all just friends A face apart from the mass Take a seat and you get real comfy It’s a fine day for a dance And that’s good work if you can get it It’s a, fine day for a dance You don't care what the band is playing

Every time I go outside it's their face that I see. It's almost like these monsters always try to follow me. With teeth that shine like diamonds and eyes as white as snow, It seems the demons in my heart will never ever go. I run, I hide, I cannot get away. I want to disappear and stay there for all my days. If only I hadn’t done the things I've done, Then maybe, just maybe I'd never have to run. I wish I wished upon a star that I could start anew, But everyone I've ever known would still know what I do. If I could take it all back I'd take it back today, But then I wouldn't be left with a whole bunch more to say. Because a man gets by the only way he can, And my way just happens to occasionally offend. I'm sure that you don't agree with the way I live, But the amount of fingers on my feet are the amount of damns I give. You probably don’t believe story that I’m telling you, And if I’m being honest now it’s not completely true. I’d like to say I don’t enjoy every single sin, But a Samaritan I’ll never be and have never ever been. You better watch out, I’m coming straight for you. Lock the doors, hide your kids and bar the windows too. I wrong the wrong and I wrong the right as well. I don’t really give a damn cause I’m straight to hell. I’ll meet you there years from now, in amongst the flames. And I’ll greet you all like family because we’re really all the same.

Oh, moulding nights, Wake in fright. Losing sight, Of sober light. Venture dark, This reckless spark. To see how far, The limits are. Sheets to the windy air, With mind that devil may care. Push the envelope devil dare, Tickle the edge and leave it there. Thank my stars and fate and all, That I’ve escaped the clutch of laws. And not yet woken on the wrong side of walls, For crimes that I would not recall. Congratulate the power of my will, For breathing thru this seething swill. This mind and soul that cant be killed, And this mortal body that holds fast still. Are these jumbled memories, From dreams or drunk realities? This blinding light won’t take me down, I will last this drunken town. Town, I will last this drunken town. This drunken town. You won’t take me alive. Nah-ah. You won’t take me alive. Got a ticket to the sunken city. I step out the door. Fall into forever more. With drunken angels on my door step. To guide me thru my trek. This town is a whirlpool, Full of self medicated fools. It’s a vortex that I can’t escape. I’ll make the most of this fate.

Food Fight 03:16
Body fall, thud of clay Senses pall, in disarray To rise, incapable Inside, empty hole While cities, waste congeal Indulge and devour and consume 'Can naidu Water there to drink Bountiful feast to eat But no well i find Growing green into blight My frame, nebulous Quietly place me into this dry earth Cannot win, continue play Think to share, but take away Starving bones, no remain Is it crime, none to blame Oh we yearn, what you waste, A morsel, a taste or a scrape, we need haste

A steamy, sunny day, A day made for sexual encounters. A day such as today. Where a sensual, specimen of specific specifications. 36-24-36. She starts strolling down the urban slums of a smelly, stinky, yet somewhat attractive alley, But she's not alone, some moustachioso surrounded by ugly fragrance and testosterone, follows her down the alley. And this is where the dark magic begins. It starts like an erotic novel, it ends in a dirty brothel. You don't know where it's going, and you can't see it coming. It starts like an erotic novel, and the pages all stick together. She turns around and the man attacks. But the prey is just as excited of the predator. Things get animalistic as they go ballistic. Their naked skin stained by the summer sun. As they start making noises, as they start, oh as they get loud. 20 minutes have passed, and they're both enjoying the role-play. Building a head of steam, going for gold, In a mutual competition of endurance. Secluded within the alley, again they make loud noises, They grunt loud.
