Green Grass

Throw stones
And / or throw some sticks
Empty words all fail to work
No matter which you pick
Hammer
Joints gonna disjoint
Nice try wishing on a shooting star
With sharp silver points
I don't care
The piercing blades you wreak
Aren't as strong as the dull green blades
Of the grass that lies beneath
I'm standing on green grass
Chambers
Six unloaded quick
Napalm flies into my eyes
I'm lit like a candlewick
A sword
Wake of skin from slash
Swing of the mace right to my face
While a whip gives me a lash
A chair
Electrifies me
I stand up
Dust myself off
Believe what I perceive
I'm standing on green grass
You stomp
The Earth
An avalanche rushes in
Reel in
The Moon
The tide rises up
Smoke
From a bomb
Making anticipation
The smoke
It clears
And I'm still standing
There's nothing
You haven't done
There's nothing
You can do
I'm standing on green grass

Well

I went
Into a bar
And then I went
Up to the bar
And then I ordered
Me some booze
And then I found
A chair to use
And then I looked
Across the room
And the she looked
Across the room
And then my eyes
Locked on her face
And then her eyes
Locked on my gaze
And then she moseyed
My way
And then my mouth
Spilled out a "Hey"
And then she fell
On the next seat
And then I ordered
Her a drink
And then she told
Me what she'd need
And then I
Totally agreed
And then I handed
Her my hand
And then she handed
Me her hand
And then we fumbled
Over feet
And then we stumbled
Down the street
And then we went
Into her door
And then our clothes
Covered her floor
And then we....
...Well...
And then the sun
Done woke me up
And then the sun
Done woke her up
And then she offered
Me some food
And then I acted
Kinda rude
And then she screamed
And then she wailed
And then I dressed
And quickly bailed
And then she cried
From feeling mad
And then I laughed
At what we had
And
Then
I slinked home
And then I landed
On my bed
And then a
Nightmare filled my head
And then I walked
A tight rope
And then I slipped
Right off the rope
And then I fell
Into a lake

Gone Perpetratin'
05:09

Take a hardcore son of a gun like me
Mix a case of beer and a liter of whiskey
I'm in love with the way that it's making me feel
Fantasy grabs hold and molds what's real
It's all over the news / In the paper it says
Citizen unknown / Muddled thoughts in their head
Lock up your doors / Locate your kids
The silent auction is on / And I'm making my bid
The difference between
Conformists and me
They're all sleepin'
While I'm gone perpetratin'
The difference between
Straight shooters and me
Dead aim's costly
While I'm gone perpetratin'
You got got which you just don't get
Veins pulsin' and poppin' out of your neck
The best ruse crackles loudly with a lit fuse
Do the dont's and fuck the do's
Oh I foretell your ears / Won't hear the talk in my mind
Get the feeling you're fine / Til you come to find
A whiff of the truth / A sour taste of my kind
Then you'll finally see / That I've been robbing you blind
Chorus:
The difference between
A killjoy and me
The smile I'm smilin'
While I'm gone perpetratin'
The difference between
These white sheep and me
Black wool cloaks
While I'm gone perpetratin'
Verse:
Extremes surround the in between
Closing in and causing a scene
Bridge:
Had an ounce of class / It was cramping my style
Tried to be mature / Got old after a while
Steadfastly stubborn / Uncontrollably vile
Not to toot my own horn / But I'm a steaming pile
Chorus:
The difference between
A criminal and me
They're in cuffs
While I'm gone perpetratin'
The difference between
A hooligan and me
Is absolutely nothin'
While I'm gone perpetratin'
Gone
