Citizen King - Under the Influence

Now out past
the cast of bordem
cards get dealt
i sift and sort 'em
table rooftop coming down
wooden nickles lost and found
apple pie i'm eating cake
now coming to the table late
now juke joint fights the fight of his life
immune to poision ivy snakebites
battery from start to chuck
got the outer limits voodoo luck
stand by on the hardball holiday
served fresh from a plastic tray
[Chorus]
I've been around and
up and down and over
board when
the ship came down
out of mind and sight
in the strobaphonic light
i'm under the influence tonight

now on the concrete
on the glass
beyond the neon green bus pass
nowhere fast thats where im goin
like a crack thats slowly leaking juice
on the floor
i do a little less i take a little more time
day to day and eye to eye
when these walls become alive
when these walls become alive

Chorus

now this sparkle helmet spins around
midnight streak in a twist-top town
crystal clear through amber glasses
bad with names but worse with faces
zig-zag wonder on the swerve
transparent mason dixon curves
i've got more nerve
than a tiki torch in a quiet storm
cause i'm searching for the third kind
blast off and cut the cord
blast off and cut the cord

Chorus
