Smog - paroles Dongs of Sevotion

Dongs of sevotion (2000)

1 Justice aversion

Happens on a side street, maybe
Happens on a main street, maybe
Lion bites zebra neck
Zebra stomps lion head

It's justice
Justice aversion
In a proper way, 'cause I don't today

And root for the underdog
No matter who they are
At the bank robber in the getaway car

It's justice
Justice aversion
In a proper way, 'cause I don't today

I could stay up all night talking
About animal nature
And universe hesitant
And the grand ??

It happened on a side street, maybe
It happened on a main street, maybe

It's justice
Justice aversion

And root for the underdog
No matter who they are
At the bank robber in the getaway car


2 Dress sexy at my funeral

Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
For the first time in your life
Wear your blouse undone to hear
And your skirt split up to here

Oh Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
For the first time in your life
Oh Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
Wink at the minister
Blow kisses to my grieving brothers

Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
And when it comes your turn to speak before the crowd
Tell them about the time we did it
On the beach with fireworks above us

On the railroad tracks with the gravel in your back
In the back room of a crowded bar
And in the graveyard where my body now rests

Oh Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
For the first time in your life

Also tell them about how I gave to charity
And tried to love my fellow man as best i could
But most of all don't forget about the time on the beach
With fireworks above us

3 strayed

Well, it's strange the way
You walk behind
But seem to lead the way
Oh, I know I,
Oh, I know I have strayed

I have taken you for a ride
Left you waiting in the car
While I played death games inside
Oh, I know I,
Oh, I know I have strayed

I have loved in haste
I've been an alleycat and a bumblebee
To your panther and your wasp
Oh I have loved
While thinking only of the cost
Oh, I know I
Oh, I know I have strayed

I've raised a sick child to your lips
And in asking you to kiss
What I would not kiss
Oh, I know I
Oh, I know I have strayed

Well I never thought I'd be
One of those men
With pin-ups on their wall
For all to see
I thought that was just mechanics
Oh, I know I
Oh, I know I have strayed

I have taken you for a ride
Left you waiting in the car
While I played death games inside



4 The hard road

I'll take the hard road
I believe I'll see you there
In a cyclone of stones
Wooden spikes in your hair
Or maybe you'll resting
Leaning up against a busted fence
Pluck a bird from the coop
Then we're back up on the hard road

We could sleep in a barn
Bathe in a lake
Steal the pipe
Let hunger dictate
The steps that you take
Along the hard road

And when winter comes
We'll bottle some
The nearest washing line
And when summer comes
It's almost impossible
Not to have a good time
Out on the hard road


5 Easily Led

I am not easily led
Despite the head
I was just trying to cross the street with you
I was just a step devoted

But I am not easily led
I'm suggestible at times, it's true
But only by you
I lay open jelly-limbed
To your smallest whim

But I am not easily fed
I'll turn my head
When you come at me with a spoon

No, I am not easily led
Despite the head
I was just trying to get along with you
I was just trying to be a human

6 Bloodflow

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Hold on, hold on with a grip so tight
It dams my blood, makes my head feel light
Well, hearts will start and hearts will stop
And the blood will flow until we drop

Bloodflow!

Bloodflow

No time for a tete-a-tete
Can I borrow your machete?
In this wonderful world

Hold on

Blood will spill and blood will spurt
Enemies keep the mind alert

Bloodflow

No time for a tete-a-tete

7 Nineteen

So she washed her cut in the sink
And picked up and once more along the way
Down to the bay, where I did stay

I was nineteen
And so relieved to be beating twenty

Without her clothes
She looked like a leper in the snow
I left her in the snow without her clothes

My movements were slow
Long, she didn't even know
What she was taking away

We didn't talk much
Oh, it must have shown
She must have known

The next day, she never called me again
The day after that, she gave me a call
She was all drunk

Her words came slow
Oh, I didn't even know what I had
I'm taking away



8 Distance

The curtain slaps in the wind
A human sound of fleshy flesh
Little fists pummel absently
To birth the spirit in the room

The wind it seems to lick
The wind it seems to suck
The wind is a great big woman
That makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up

My body seems to be lacking something
I remember the taste
That on a night like this
Wa sonly ever shed in haste
All these moments have passed through me
I have turned them all to waste

There are women on the street
They shine before me like teeth in a mine
And their are voices on the street
One of them is mine

If I watched from a high hidden window
I'd hear myself say
Oh I can't make it out
I'm too far away

But the conversation is like the beating
Taken in a dream
Where no real blows are landed
The only harm is in memory

All these women have passed through me
I have turned them all to waste


9 Devotion

There are some terrible gossips in this town
There are some terrible gossips in this town
With jaws like vices
And eyes like drains

There are some little weasels in this town
Scampering around loose
With yellow teeth
And the beady eyes

We should set a standard amount of words
That I am to say to these
We should set a standard type of look
That you are to give to me
When you wanna leave

There are some terrible gossips in this town
With jaws like vices
And eyes like drains

I won't tell what they say about you
I won't flourish the shit
You are my dearest friend
And I will protect you
Until the end

With a will like vices
Complete as a drain


10 Cold Discovery

I know your teeth have gnashed through death
Still you come to me
So gently
Find a soft place on your body
And rub me with it
Oh, this I won't soon forget
You're the one that will remain
You're the one that will remain

Bust a lock with a rock
Don't need a key to have me
This was your cold discovery

We needed a fever, we needed a cure
The bait no longer lured
Say goodbye, if you can
The car waits for me
Just across the border
Wish me luck, no good luck
No bad luck, just wish me luck
With my cold discovery

You are gone
My cold discovery

You're the one that will remain
Well, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor
Well, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor
And your teeth can gnash right through me
Looking for a soft place
And of this you won't soon forget
I had no soft place for you to rest
And this was your, your cold discovery
Your cold discovery

Well, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor
Well, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor
This was my, my cold discovery
My cold discovery

If you saw it for what it really was
My cold discovery
My cold discovery
My cold discovery

11 Permanent Smile

Oh God, can you feel the sun in your back?
Oh God, can you see your shadow, inky black on the sand?
Oh God, can you hear the saltwater drying on your skin?
Oh God, can you feel my heart beating in my tongue?

Oh God, by being quiet, I hope to alleviate my death
Oh God, by sitting still, I hope to lighten your load
When your shadow covers me from head to toe
Curtain every flies, tell me it's mine, my time to go

Seven waves of insects make babies in, in my skin
Seven waves of insects make families in my skin
(It's just like animals) It's just like animals that play
And the flesh...flesh...flesh...rotted off my skull
And then I will have earned my permanent, my permanent smile

Oh God, I never, never asked why
Oh God, I never, never asked why
