looking at you
I'm goin' for that bitch goddess,
Bill James called her, "success."
I've killed the word "modest,"
Committed every excess.
Beaten my plowshare to a sword,
My pruning hook to a spear.
Reinterpreted every word
To get her oh so near.
Come t' me, oh lilly of the valley,
There are none who are so dear.
And I've beaten my sword to a plowshare,
My spear to a pruning hook.
I don't really care.
I did whatever it took.
Don't tell me ya can't see it.
Don't you see when you look?
Come t' me, oh lilly of the valley,
This?, why it's only my sheperd's crook.
One gate it is narrow and the other gate it is wide.
The whirlwind deluge, the rocks that slide.
Come t' me oh lilly of the valley,
Don't you hide.
I need ya t' get me to the other side.
I'm standing on the dock
Green light across the bay
Would it be a shock
If I asked ya to "Pray for me, mother, pray?"
Sharpen the arrow, polish the spear,
There's nothin' but tomorrow, to hold you near.
Lone Ranger and Tonto, under Indian attack.
Lone Ranger says to Tonto, "Cover my back."
Tonto says, "Lone Ranger, but surely it's clear
That goddess is your bitch,
I'm outa here."
One gate it is narrow and the other gate it is wide.
The whirlwind deluge, the rocks that slide.
Come t' me oh lilly of the valley,
Don't you hide.
I need ya t’get me to the other side.
I'm standing on the dock
Green light across the bay
Would it be a shock
If I asked ya to "Pray for me, mother, pray?"
Tide's a' comin' in bringing lots of stuff.
It's for you to decide when I've had enough.
