Playlist Them Crooked Vultures

them crooked vultures - scumbag blues

Innocence has no resistance,
Hence the wicked counselor such as I
You won't make it out,
You won't make it out
Shall I lead you to my parlor?
Poison offered disguised in just your size
You won't make it out,
You won't make it out

You may think me altruistic
Feel my dark hypnosis closing in
You won't make it out,
You won't make it out

Then you go cold,
Cold, as a stare
As if no, none,
Could compare
But you don't know how close to ensnare
When I control,
You will despair

You won't make it out,
You won't make it out

Sycophancy solipsistic,
Spider plays the fool to lure the fly
You won't make it out
You won't make it out

Then you go cold,
Cold, as a stare
As if no, none,
Could compare
But you don't know how close to ensnare
When I control,
You will despair

them crooked vultures - elephant

We're painted as monsters,
Borracho, cansado
Do you know what the people say?
Plucked from the garden
Of wretched beliefs
I offer a rose and smile with harmless teeth

Then slick back my hair,
You know the devil's in there
Alone in the garden
Like lumbering giants
In a shameful parade
We came to ruin all and make a rotten trade

I'll make you roll over
So, roll over

Scattered on the shore
She'll be washed away

Feeling somewhat deserving,
Of what will be some day
No, I can never stay melancholy
Of the memory of your face
No, I can never stay melancholy
For long

(For I move on)

We're unwanted strangers,
Exploited and dangerous
Unable to hide
Or even dream of it
Como estas, parting the seas,
We're lepers who stroll,
Why you afraid sweety?

I slick back my hair,
You know the devil's in there
So keep one eye open, baby
We're so easy to spot,
Lepers riding atop
Pachyderms full of germs,
Elephants broken and screaming and...

Roll over
Are we coming over?

Scattered on the shore
She'll be washed away
Scattered on the shore
She'll be washed away
Away, away...

Feeling somewhat deserving,
of what will be some day
No, I can never stay, melancholy
Of the memory, of your face
All alone in the garden
Of all that stroke for the best
No, I can never stay anything, for long...

So come on, move
Roll over!
Are we coming over?

them crooked vultures - new fang

New fang
No thang
Got it made
To parade
Find a sucker
I don't want another

Stand up
Step aside
Open wide
Hangin out with mamma
Till the fears go

Want you?
Yes I do
Follow them
Take your turn
Getting gone for girls

Loose lips
Lipstick smeared
Come and go
I think it's what they gotta know

Sometimes ya break a finger on the other hand
Think you got me confused for a better man

Sometimes you break the finger on the other hand
Say you've got me confused, ah

I ain't a better man

No slack
Cadillac
Couldn't quit
Guns slaps
As we take back

Accept
One of them
far behind
In a time
When my mind was like a landmine

Tailgate
By the lake
Too much too young
Everybody gonna come along

Turn red
No show
Nothing left so your gotta roll

Sometimes ya break a finger on the other hand
Said you've got me confused with a better man

Sometimes you break the finger on the other hand
I know you've got me confused

Don't go, oh no

New fang pressing down low
No more waiting around for

New fang pressing down, ah
No more waiting around, ah

New fang
New fang
They gonna wait? No

New fang
New
They gonna wait no more

them crooked vultures - no one loves me and neither do i

Take a song from the first time you made me introduce them
She was looking, her mind just oblique
She called me baby, and was a mean lady with the song on the radio
So I told her I was rich, then she asked could I use a dirty bitch (of course)

Then she said, No one loves me... neither do I
You get what you give,
And give goodbye
and if I should vanish
Don't get caught off guard
Don't hold it against me
Unless it gets her

Well if sex is a weapon, then smash, boom, pow,
How do you like me now?
You can't always do it right, you can always do what's left
So I told her I was trash, she wait til after and said I already know...
I've got a beautiful place to put your face and she was right,

And I said, no one loves me... neither do I
It makes perfect sense,
So I heard her ask why?
I've got tomorrow
Cuz life doesn't wait
You can keep your soul
I don't wanna soul mate

Cutting her loose, I'm ready to go
People in the world, your gonna lose control
Cutting her loose, I'm ready to go
People in the world, your gonna lose control
Cutting her loose, I'm ready to go
People in the world, your gonna lose control
Cut me a noose, I'm ready to go
People in the world, your gonna lose

I know how to burn with passion
Hope nothing backfolds future ration
Give all you are, to not make haste
Save our revery, single taste
You get... cut

I know how to be controlled
Do what they said so, what your told
Quick to react, to break the box
Turn on queue, as your cell door locks
Behind you

I know how to be lost in lust
Not because you should, but because you must
It burns white hot, and so climbs the mile
This lightening strike isn't always cut
So use me up
Use me up

them crooked vultures - gunman

Gunman, bloodshot eyes
Gunman, grain of sand
Sisters, could not sleep
Father, is a holy ghost
And there's lions in a cage

It don't matter, don't try to explain
You're just another dog to be trained,
Choke chain
You're gonna end up under tooth and nail
If you catch a tiger by the tail,
Don't fail

Brother, does not dream, anymore
Sisters, could not sleep
Transformation incomplete
Mercy killing those counting sheep
I'm the trigger, quick to fire
Punctuate betwixt the eyes
You're clever,
It ain't gonna help you

Violence is just an incomplete thought
Thrown in to a complete start, start
You're so clever, you tear us apart
Then masqueraded as arms, not smart
If you can help anyone, help yourself
That's unless you hate yourself,
And don't know

Angry ants are crawling
Makes you wanna scream
Lions clawing
Building up steam

Flesh and bone is new persuasion
This is the pathway to my destination
Gunman, where you been?
You're my: hero, saviour, psycho, slayer

Follow the leader, you lead 'em the same
Slice punctuate the frame,
Come again
It don't matter, don't try to explain
You're just a dog to be trained,
Choke chain
You're gonna end up under tooth and nail
If you catch a tiger by the tail,
Don't fail

I wanna go back but I'm still at the start
De-evolution...

them crooked vultures - mind eraser no chaser

You got a long face-lift
If it kills, I got news, it ain't a side-effect
Call it a full reject or
Fuel injected, time-corrected, teenage obstacle

All I wanna do is have my mind-erased
We're begging you, pleading you, stop coma-teasing us all
Drug company where's a pill for me
I call it mind eraser, no chaser
.... need of everything
Law abiding dick riding fun police leave us alone
Drawing up the edge of a razor blade
What does it mean when the knife and hand are your own

Gimme the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste
Understanding is cruel the monkey said as it launched to space
Know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side-effect
Ignorance is bliss until they take your bliss away

Robotic mambo me
D.I.Y kit lobotomy it's a
Tuck taste dance craze movie of the week
You buy the doll, kick up the bowl then piss on the sheets

All I wanna do is have my mind-erased
We're begging you, pleading you, stop coma-teasing us all
Drug company where's a pill for me
I call it mind eraser, no chaser with bright lights
.... need of everything
New age goose-step on a karma collision
Drawing up the edge of a razor blade
What does it mean when the knife and hand are your own

Uh, your own, your own!

Gimme the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste
Undestanding is cruel the monkey said as it launched to space
You know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side-effect
Ignorance is bliss until they take your bliss away

Gimme the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste
You know that I am your dangerous side effect
You know that I am your dangerous side effect
Let me tell you save it, you see I don't give a shit

You know, yeah, uh. woo!

them crooked vultures - spinning in daffodils

words, there on the grave
i was able to strangle my shadow
shackle and train
wolfs, what will you do
is it safe to play god in the garden
i'm king of the zoo
holes, that need to be filled
positions available you try so hard to get out of the room

spinning in the daffodils
dizzy from the desert thrills
spinning in the daffodils

cold, alone and alive
you're afraid but thats not what i asked
why not go for a ride?
sheltered and safe my darlings
sheltered your minds
take a finger off the hand
seize your shit, take one scalp at a time

fail, as big as the world
like a caveman that chases the bone
thats tied to its tail
i wish, i was a beautiful balloon
i could rise up, away from it all
and fade out of view.
gracefully, fade out of view
what have you turned into?

spinning in the daffodils
dizzy from the desert thrills
spinning in the daffodils

so high, i just fade and never come back
i'm so high, i just fade and never come down
i'm so high, i just fade and never come back

them crooked vultures - reptiles

I tried to make a break,
what a fool,
I should've known
*I never listen*
I'm in a cage,
an animal,
I'm in a cage.

But the reptiles,
they won't let me go.
I think they want you to stray.

Watch the monkey dance,
give 'em a taste.
Look at him
*he's always smiling*

Help me to escape!
*your mouth agape*
You foreign tourist...
Woe is me,
it will be a funeral,
a circus,
I'll rap on the cell door.

Questions are a fire
that needs feeding
to survive
So just you let those flames
die down.

Trained by consequence & the lash
it leaves me breathless.
Their praise is a poison to us all.
In the moonlight...
their scars flash like jewelry.
Get too precious...
get locked up in a cage.

Want to get,
gotta risk,
any move
misconstrued
& your screwed.
Tongues flash & flick as if they're
screamin.

Oh they lie
just like any lover,
oh do they,
those kisses will burn.
Under the lights,
they snap a finger,
you jump, you answer,
like a naive hooker
with a big dumb smile.

For the reptiles,
I guess you'll never know.
They won't let you go,
cause you're the
soup du'jour,
that's for sure.

Questions are a fire
that needs feeding
to survive.
So just you let those flames die down.
See them reptiles crawl?
Getting closer...
Why won't someone come to drive them away?

Don't rest too long,
it's a mistake you can't take back.
Take one lying down
for a change.
& oh,
it's like cleaning up
after an orgy
when it's over,
I wish someone would burn this place to the ground.

them crooked vultures - caligulove

In the temple,
I was an offering.
Of the heartless,
I was an offering.
I was humbled
& reborn...
into a god.

Darling,
a sensitive soul is just
a tyrant who enslaves
all those around him
to make certain he
is hurt
at all times.

I don't need a reason baby,
put your arms around me.
Hold me real close,
clap me irons,
come on caligulove me,
come on caligulove me.

You can hear it,
as an offering.
If you're a good girl,
as an offering.
A righteous choir is singing,
as an offering...
No, screaming,
as they burn.

Darling, there are no taboos
in lust.
My veins coarse blood that's so
venomous.
When heartless hears a heartbeat...
he's jealous.

I don't need a reason baby,
put your arms around me.
Hold me real close,
clap me in irons,
c'mon caligulove me.
I already got you baby,
put yourself upon me.
I'm in lust,
a slave to desire,
when you caligulove me.
C'mon on,
love me.
Hold me real close....
love me.
I need your caligulove girl.
Caligulove.

them crooked vultures - interlude with ludes

I've always been behind you
So I think we should meet
I've sharpened my knives
So I'm gonna use them
Oh, baby

I'm gonna smother you with my love
Forever and ever, also forever
Acid and poison and chemicals baby
Is what I mean to provide
I know together, we'll make the possible
Totally impossible

If you want me I'm yours
And even if you don't want me
I'm trained and licensed and armed to the teeth
I think you'll agree
It's so hard to apologize
So I'm just gonna skip it
Sleep deprivation will make you a million
Did you just hear something crazy?
I got my fingers crossed you'll catch something baby
Cause I just threw myself at you

Everyone run and hide
I'm coming to find you
Is my face still bleeding?
Then what is your problem?
By the skin of my teeth
That's how I'm gonna drive you
LSD and a bloody pile of rags (Hey)
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But I am...

them crooked vultures - bandoliers

Oh it's too late
I got hit by the closing door
And as I watch myself reflect,
On the wrong side of
My, you've changed,
You turned the corner I'll hever go
I admit I feel a bit deceived
You're expecting I'd follow

Bandoliers
To fight you, dear
Nobody caused the rift,
We've just grown apart now
So,

Prepare, and take aim
Then fire
(x2)

(If that's the way it has to be)

I'm fooling myself,
Fooling myself into believing you
All these fictionary tales,
You're telling yourself
Selfish, like a child that's never heard of no
I watched him everchanging you,
Never find us

Bandoliers
To fight you, dear
Nobody caused the rift,
Can't become what I'm not
You've always my heart,
So if it must be broken

Prepare, and take aim,
Then fire
(x4)

Fire away...
If you must, but I only came
Just to let you know: this is goodbye

Oh, Goodbye...

Prepare, and take aim,
Then fire
(x2)

'Cause no one can make me die
No one can make me cry

them crooked vultures - warsaw or the first breath you take after you give

Can't afford to lose my head.
Can't afford to lose my cool.
You'll blow them all in king dumbcum.
Can't afford to lose my tease,
I just aim to please.

Feel like a no-tell motel painting,
out of place or ignored.
It's all medals & trophy's, trophy's and medal
& all before the race has been run.
Oh ,
take off your mask,
is
it too much to ask??
Go on
And give it a try
Or kiss your ass goodbye

Autobiographical anonymous.
A cotillion of friction on my jurisdiction.
It's a lovely disguise with the wandering eyes.
I get high,
now you've got something to look up to.

Trouble's a mangy stray dog,
play with it once, then it follows you home.
It's all "have nots,
have nones,
hey can I have some's?"
Until I've had enough
yet I've had none.
Oh,
take off your mask,
lose
it into the trash...
Go on
und give it a try
or kiss
your ass goodbye.

Suddenly it gets easy.
The sun goes down.
The long arm of important things
disappears in her gown.
You finally drop
the knife,
forget you ever h....
It's such a good
night,
ain't forever.
It feels so good to give up, give in...
her arms.

I know it hurts.
It hurts to be young.
Metamorphosis is pain, I know.
I said it hurts to be young.
Gotta learn every goddamn thing.
You gotta hack your way through,
and realise...it's almost entirely lies.
But then you'll begin to smile.
Smile for me, real.
Wide.
Then you accept what you are.
The transforming is done.
You've become...absorbed into, & you know.
I think I know what to do.
