And it pleased the Lord.

"I Woke Up in a Strange Place" (MP3)
Love came crawling as a counter foot mistress
Steaming from the pockets of a sadomasochist
And she's mounting from his face like a tongue on crystal meth
Love came calling as a counterfeit mistress
Stealing from the pockets of a sadomasochist
And she's mouthing for this place like a tongue on crystal meth
Working so hard for the soap god.
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes.
Isn't that sheep coming to me, nearly?
Isn't that she coming to me, nearly?

Drop down we two to serve and praise love
Dude this is Hallelujah, not Mojo Pin
It's not a cry that you hear at night.
Memories fire Rythms fall slow
Black beauty, I love you so
Memory is fire Rivers flow slow
Black beauty, I love your soul
Memory is fire, Rivers flow slow
Black beauty, I love your soul
Memories fire, Rythms fall slow
Black beauty, I love you so
All that was sorry.
Oh, that was so real.
Blow that whistle.
That was so real.
Oh Dad, we're sorry.
Oh, that was so real.
That was sorry
That was so real
"The Sky is A Landfill"
We know you're useless
Like cats at the scene of the crime
We know you’re useless
Like cops at the scene of the crime
"Woke Up In A Strange Place (bootleg)"
