Amorica

Save me
From this season's dead air
Take me
Blind naked scared
Want you to burn me, burn me baby
Cover your eyes with my ashes
C'mon why don't you pray for me
Sit back and watch my divine spark flash

Chorus:
Gone
Good riddance i'm gone
Gone in a wasted way
Wasted my way i'm gone
Push and pull on me baby
With your fingernails full of fur
I want you to stab me
Do it, do it, 'cause you know it don't hurt
Chorus
Jinx me, jinx me baby
Beautiful like a fool
C'mon and remove me
Dilated and burned
Chorus

(instrumental)

I don't know my telephone number
But you kiss good and i'd like to
See you tomorrow
And i don't beg, i pay, i don't barter
And if we had a child i'd like a son,
Not a daughter
'cause she'd be just like you
You know that would not do
I'm no builder, i'm no gardener
I sing some songs, have a friend
Who's a photographer
There ain't no other language
I know how to speak
Some like their water shallow
And i like mine deep
Tied to the bottom
With a noose around my feet
Chorus:
The clouds conspire
Above my head
I overheard them
Say i wish he was dead
Today the sunset
Burned my eyes
And in the next room i hear someone cry
I like to dress up like the jury
To eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy
To talk like dirt
To love yo like tar
But never fall in too fast
With my north star
While you pull your hair out
I buy the drinks at the bar
Chorus

(yeah)

Have mercy baby
I'm descending again
Open your eyes
This time it's sink or it's swim
No sermons on ascending
No verdict on deceit
No selfish memorandum
No confusion for me
Chorus:
Curses
Curses and clues
A feast for fools
Have mercy baby
And hand me downs
It was just a few years ago
You'd hand me ups and map
Right out of town
But i would let it slide
Like mercury
Silver and quick
Poisonous and deadly
So deadly

To my low down downtown
Money waster
Your only saving grace
Is that i like to taste ya
But your flower is spoiled
Too easy to make ya
You got a .38 and your book of revelations
I got a .44 and a lead of temptation
Chorus:
I am a rounder, like to round around
Two for one at the store on the corner
Little girl like to drink and sniffin' powders
Like the bars that stay open after hours
Like the boys that go 24-7
Too many late nights and you don't go to heaven
Chorus

Here with me
And this price you pay
Just a wishful dream could be blown away
Ask yourself for better or worse
Because what's the use if it's just good luck
A black cat has crossed my path
Tell me what's good luck about that
Chorus:
Hate and greed
Swollen and sweet
Let's start this misery
If that's where you wanna be
Fear and love
From down or form up above
Come to me
Come to me
I bet you please
Come set me free
Excuse me please
For my definition
But deeper still are my convictions
Urgently i wait to hear an answer
While i misconduct
A sad lost anthem
An anthem like you have never heard
Have you heard something so absurd
Chorus

Sometimes i have a ghetto in my mind
Other times sunshine high head fine
In between i get cold, old mean
Intertwined with country pride open and kind
This draws a line
Sorry to coin a phrase
On either side is wisdom and rage
So keeping track of time
Racing with my age
Sleeping with the snakes
Forget that you showed up late
It ain't worth it baby
Chorus:
A charmed life it is
At least they tell yo so
I got a good idea
It ain't like they say is so
And if it is then let me go
Let me go
Any day there might be hell to pay
But in other ways
It makes it seem ok
I'll tell you what i mean
It's not a plot nor a scheme
It's just peace in my mind
Again can i use the word kind
I ain't sorry about it baby
Chorus
