…the bed back into a couch
A mattress tongue in a seventies mouth
Not a home, just some fucked-up home to spend time in,
I know…
…in for three bucks at the door
And all along the way you sang hallelujah, save these souls
And the more and more you gave, the less you seemed…
…self-improvement stalls
Oh how through ourselves at style.
Turn the bed back into a couch,
Put thank-you notes on the fridge
Heads…

And with our first score the bellows did roar
For the first time we felt whole
It was right, all night
Cause we're a band of mighty souls…
…came to the hall
And they bowed one and all
And our names they all will know
They will know
That we're a band of mighty souls…
He spent many a night with bombs in the sky
A pain in his heart, and a tear in his eye
He grabs the blowtorch
And guards the back…

…(talking)
Ma this song is for you...cuz i love you
My tears fall on the paper as i write this ryme
Its like somewhere in my life a…
…part of me died
And through my eyes a forgotten pain...rott in vain
Escapin the hell fire runnin from flames
Seein moms…
…by this hell flamed pain i spit out
On the day we rest may our souls be free
I ain't mad 'cause this world made a cole like me

Ice god of Hungary said “these souls are mine”
Ice god said “bend a knee or be blown away”
“I don't mess around, get your back…
…to the sky and your face to the ground”
Baby capricorns and cinnamon sins
Like a cherry dove he sang a song “la la la la la la la la…
…in perfect symmetry

Ice god said “bend a knee or be blown away”

And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
(Far away)
Sad…

When we set out in our canoe, we thought it would be fun
We had sandwiches, a flask of tea and a great big bottle of rum
We sang and drank and laughed a…
…lot or just drifted in the sun
But we would have turned back there and then if we knew what…
…was to come
Down the River of No Return, we drifted through this land
Through the Valley of Lost Souls…

…[Spoken]
At first, I dreamed of a massive house
With rooms too many to count
And then I dreamed my friends inside
Picking out…
…their homes
But as the sun began to set
The house awoke within
And unleashed hell into our lives
For my and all my kin
So I sang…
…not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
At first, I dreamed of a…

…the best of all musicians,
He the sweetest of all singers.
Beautiful and childlike was he,
Brave as man is, soft as woman,
Pliant as a…
…wand of willow,
Stately as a deer with antlers.
When he sang, the village listened;
All the warriors gathered round him…
…
All the women came to hear him;
Now he stirred their souls to passion,
Now he melted them to pity.
From the hollow reeds…

…finally on my way back home
letting myself be dragged by instinct
in the mist of the cold evening
I suddenly came across a…
…gorgeous glade
at the bottom of a roaring crystal waterfall
an abrupt thirst began to creep inside his throat
there was nothing he…
I could not understand
je suis la belle dame sans merci
ton sang sera mon vin ton coeur ma vie
in the abyss of the cursed souls…

…they parch, they starve the arts
This is harikari through some Harmon Kardon's
This is a tag to lash, a ticket to brag
A ticket to bring Harlem back off our…
…starving backs
They want our souls but if God is black they hardly match our Apple trees in the garden, Black
Gold chains ain't a…
…even gotta ask, yeah, I'm a man
Nina sang the warning so it's time to go H.A.M
Persecute me if you can, America, goddamn

I believe in strangers wherever they may be
All the souls who shape the world look pretty strange to me
I never met no president or shook a…
Gandhi's hand
But I believe we need a love that they may understand
Heart of the world, heart…
…believe we need a love that they would understand
Heart of the world, heart of the world is black
Without the love, love to bring it back…
