DAVID'S DRUM
Seven in the sky they surround me
Seven slugs 2 a heart that was delt me
Well I was drain and sponged the 11th day
in a timw illing 2 accommodate ignorance & fear
this courtrooms goes round the clock
gavel of twisted stock knowledge loves prevention
this system isnt geared for complete confession
lust takes the stand biting his nails in complete confusion
while comtempt is in the waiting box w/ someone eles
skin under his
Jealousy walks in backwards 2 show he's got it going
a man of all seasons likes his rubbers in bright colors
the heat is from a governing ones haste
the dust from the bones of thee innocent
hopeing 2 reflect light as it shines in threw
the windows it shines so beautiful as greed
stomps and flaps its hungry bark
and that strong but thin thread is tolerance
in the corner
Thee individual stands firm but is seen as beyond
the pale Eternity has the voice of reason her
timber strongest at seasons changing
is the chain gang breaking ground?
I hear stewbums behind the chophouse serenade
a frozen moon a gun hits the blackwater & another
is leaving us 2 soon Do you hear Davids Drum?
can you hear the drum? I think he hung it on a
dying birch just before he left
YELLOW
you boot the funky load and crawl away
2 the Janey Jim lovelys on holiday
on party lines from the palm trees
as we smoke another sweet abandon stray
well it was and this are liberty
now I see what works for thee yellow
So they slap you w/ a hollow hand
Second thoughts on whats a promised
do you reach out for the other guy
or sit and thinks of ways 2 justify
So we pay 2 see the ugly side
deaf 2 the roar of a humble tide
ya ya yellow yellow
voice of an open wound
wake of an ambulance
on his side covered in magazines
denying ones own murder
the daggers just sink sweeter
when everyones no one
the daggers just sink sweeter
when everyones no one
