Confidence is the food of the wise, but the liquor of the fool. So by the end of the night we will be seein' who is who.

Mojojuju 03:48
Am I a master of coincidence? Or just the result of it? All I really know right now is there's a rhythm in my chest. My passion exceeds the sunlight's farthest reach, And I feel every bit of pain deeper than the darkest sea. I keep it good vibrations, I slip into your soul, 'Cause I am everywhere at once, so I can always rock the show. 'Cause I got that voodoo, Mojo, juju, or whatever you call the power to make you trip, and fall in love. Yeah you know I got that voodoo, mojojuju. Just a flick of a string and I can make you swing, Grindin' on that groove. Just like a marrionette, 'cept I can make you sweat. I can help you breathe or I can let you bleed, but I ain't through yet. 'Cause I can leave you yearnin', or I can leave you burnin'. If I really wanted to I could make the world stop turnin'. So your hands you squeeze. You're down on your knees, But there really ain't nothin' but imagination separatin' you and me. 'Cause everybody's got voodoo, Mojo, juju, or whatever you call the power to make you trip, and fall in love. Yeah you got that voodoo, mojojuju. Just a flick of a string and I can make you swing, Grindin' on that groove.

Moon Eyes 05:33
You've got your eyes wide open like starlight. You've got your mind up in the clouds tonight. Vision vibrates, kaleidoscopic colors collide, Shedding the skin that sheilded you from insight. You watch it revolve. You hear it resolve. The birth and death of it all. The rise and the fall, as the frequencies squall, yeah. These thoughts are too heavy to lift alone. (Heave, Ho) These thoughts are too heavy to lift alone. (Heave, Ho) Trying to tempt the truth out of the hungry hands of the lies. Their gluttonous grip will keep you up 'til sunrise. A stem of sunlight shines to quell your quickened mind. Short circuiting synapses circling when you've got the moon eyes. You watch it revolve. You hear it resolve. The birth and death of it all. The rise and the fall, as the frequencies squall, yeah. These thoughts are too heavy to lift alone. (Heave, Ho) These thoughts are too heavy to lift alone. (Heave, Ho)

Slow Dance 04:59
We're diggin' ourselves a hole, a fitting grave for the flagpole. Don't know if a single soul will escape the smolder. We're sinkin' so low that the floor is lava. Rock botton just keeps gettin' farther, Above our heads. We'll prob'ly wind up dead if it gets any hotter. So all we've got to do is dance with the devil now. Dance with the devil. Yeah all we've got to do is dance with the devil now. Dance with the devil. But Satan likes to dance slow. So you can feel the heat through your feet to your bones. The heaviest melodies weigh his bow. So Satan likes to dance slow. He's gonna mine the green right out of your dollar. He's gonna bleed the blue right out of your collar. You know he's out there spendin' your sweat. He drinks it like scotch and drives you like a Corvette. But he's got us dancin' with him, because the floor is lava. So all we've got to do is dance with the devil now. Dance with the devil. Yeah all we've got to do is dance with the devil now. Dance with the devil. But Satan likes to dance slow. So you can feel the heat through your feet to your bones. The heaviest melodies weigh his bow. So Satan likes to dance slow. Dance with me now.

You're so hungry, I can see it In your hips. Im so thirsty, and I'm sick and tired of just sittin' here lickin' my lips. It looks to me like you keep your garden green and tapered. You got the freshest fruit, and the world's most powerful flavor. You're spreadin' honey, suckle on me with your touch. You're so hot and spicy that you might make me spontaniously combust. Sexual feeding, Got the munchies? It's all peaches and cream, if you're lucky. Sexual feeding, Got the munchies? Won't you squeeze my lemon? I need somethin' to eat. I need somethin that's sweet. I wanna bon' apetite. So gimme somethin' to eat! Sexual feeding, Got the munchies? It's all peaches and cream, if you're lucky. Sexual feeding, Got the munchies? Won't you squeeze my lemon? I'm the ice cream man, 'cause I'm makin' you twist. Your sweat is so succulent. You're my all time favorite dish. We're wettin' more than just our appetites. Got me sweatin in the kitchen when you're cookin' it just right. So come around any time if you find that you like the taste. I'm always down to serve you up another round of the strawberry shakes. God gave you a mouth so I could feed it, And God gave you a cherry so I could eat it. Well God gave you a mouth so I could feed it, And God gave you a cherry so I could eat it. Sexual feeding, Got the munchies? It's all peaches and cream, if you're lucky. Sexual feeding, Got the munchies? Won't you squeeze my lemon?

High Noon 05:03
Well it's high noon, out in front of that old saloon. I've got my piece upon my hip and I aim to use it. At high noon, all the shadows, they cease to move. You can feel the heat in the hawk cry through the blue. I just can't wait to light this motherfucker up. I'm just hangin on my cue, like a drunk playin' pool, yeah. My ammunition bag is fully stocked up. Gonna blaze these saddles with my goons. They say I'm a crazy train, 'cause my motives are loco. Spittin silver bullets from my tongue, headed for Acapulco. With any luck, we're gonna get some gold. There's a bounty for the takin' there, or so I'm told. We rolled into the joint just about twenty past four. We hit that town like the fog before a thunderstorm. Lookin' to strike the red haired woman with the dark green eyes. She goes by the name of Sweet Mary Jane, and shes wanted dead or alive. We found her frolickin' in a field, ain't tryna hide. She said, "Hey there boys, what can I help you find?" I said, "We been lookin for you girl so don't you move," "Now I command you to put your hands at high noon."

Strawberries 06:13
We're all meant to learn, we're all meant to love. We're all meant to yearn, we're all meant to make it up as we go. We all want the pleasure, but none of us want the pain, Of a tender surrrender-a walk down lover's lane. But I just can't remember the night I tossed it down the drain. 'Cause I was on a bender, the bourbon boiled in my brain. You've got to let me down easy now. 'Cause your words carry weight like a horse on plow. With all those extra pounds that I'm draggin' around You've got to let me down easy now. It's all meant to bend, but often it'll break. When did it come to pass that we stop mending what we make? You used to make me burn, you used to make me quake. But the weather took a turn, you left me in this frozen state. But I just can't remember the night I tossed it down the drain. 'Cause I was on a bender, the hangover hit me like a train. You've got to let me down easy now, Cause your words carry weight like that northern-bound. All those tiny towns that it drags you around... You've got to let me down easy now. I'll set it aside, it'll never see the light. I'll set it aside, I'll never see you. I'll set it aside, it'll never see the light. I'll set it aside, I'll never see your face. I'll set it aside, it'll never see the light. I'll set it aside, I'll never see you. I'll set it aside, it'll never see the light. So if you're gonna let me down, Yeah if you're gonna let me down, Won't you let me down easy?

Shwagdad 05:10
I'm down in the basement. Puffin' on my paycheck. Chorus lines runnin through my mind. Well I can feel the burn begin. The smoke is hangin' heavy on my eyelids. Strange shit we inhalin'. Got me rockin that Cheshire grin now. I'm still down here chasin, Rhythms that are racin' Through my mind nearly all the time. Well I can feel the burn again. The smoke is hangin' heavy on my eyelids. Strange shit we inhalin. This strain's called inspiration.

Banana Hands 04:26
We say banana you say hands.

I've got a poison runnin' through my veins. I've got a little piece of heaven seepin' in my brain. I've got a poison. She is the finest strain of Mary Jane. You know without her I am liable to go insane. The Green Goddess, she gives me my insight. And I can feel it creepin' behind my eyes. Oh yeah. The Green Goddess, she gives me my insight. And I can feel it creepin' behind my eyes. Oh yeah. The Green Goddess, she gives me my insight. And I can feel it creepin' behind my eyes. Oh yeah. The Green Goddess, she gives me my insight. And I can feel it creepin' behind my eyes. Oh yeah. I've got a poison. It's hangin' on my breath. I let the water feed the fire 'til it cuts my chest. I've got a poison. You know i get my fix, When my eyes are glowin' redder than the Devil's dick. Yeah. The Green Goddess, she gives me my insight. And I can feel it creepin' behind my eyes. Oh yeah. The Green Goddess, she gives me my insight. And I can feel it creepin' behind my eyes. Oh yeah.

This girl has got me freezin'. Her Season's in the air. Every time I get to leavin, I'm trippin on her icy stares. You know she leaves me shiverin', when shes slitherin' down my spine. But when I get to reasonin', I see that somethin' here dont rhyme. But I like you, and you like me too, So why you got me feelin' so blue? I said I like you, and you like me too, So why you got me feelin' so blue? It's been a long damn time since I seen my sunshine. My shadow ceases to throw any form of outline. Loneliness can be measured by the length of the lines on the page. I can't imagine a more luscious lover lickin' on my neck than the rays of the sun. This girl has got me drinkin'. Whiskey warms the core of my bones. I don't need no overthinkin'. A lacquer of liquor is coatin' my throat. Her fury comes in flurries baby, so I might need another layer, To shield me from her wicked wind, lord, cause it cuts without a care. But I like you, and you like me too, So why you got me feelin' so blue? I said I like you, and you like me too, So why you got me feelin' so blue? It's been a long damn time since I seen my sunshine. My shadow ceases to throw any form of outline. Loneliness can be measured by the length of the lines on the page. I can't imagine a more luscious lover lickin' on my neck than the rays of the sun. Next time you come around town, If you know me, I'll be out, In the sunshine, it's lookin' so bright. It's got that radiant light that can make things come alive. Next time you come around town, If you know me, I'll be around, With my sunshine, she's lookin so fine. She's got those radiant eyes that can make me come alive.
