Wings Cost Extra

[00:43.36] I've been staring off this roof for as long as I can remember
[00:46.11] In an unspent hour I buried in late December
[00:48.82] Where the icy winds tug and unravel your raison d'être
[00:51.52] And the scene beyond swells in its dirty decadent splendour
[00:54.87] A mere blemish in a scene seldom relished
[00:56.97] Dogs howl and withering addicts hang at the chemist
[00:59.67] I shrugged of the lingering grip of the psychedelics
[01:02.34] And grabbed one his the neck
[01:03.45] To examine his drab aesthetics
[01:05.15] His skin hung like patchwork hammocks from his limbs
[01:07.82] Gaping mouth like an ink stain splattered on his chin
[01:10.46] The sweat cascaded from his palms
[01:12.41] With a stance reminiscent of a circus bear balanced on a pin
[01:16.07] I travelled on a whim aboard the final train to central
[01:18.79] To where the world's weirdest freaks and invalids assemble
[01:21.52] The torrential rain flooded our minds with squirming invertebrates
[01:24.44] That dictate our movements through pockets of heavy turbulence
[01:27.54] Pigs prod at a child, losers become cheaters
[01:30.65] Strange wild beasts eat buckets of lesser creatures
[01:32.40] All the dealers either shrunk to single cell amoebas, burnt their
[01:35.32] Features off, robbed their connections or found Jesus
[01:38.11] Disembodied heads in dusty corners
[01:39.85] Headless bodies inject liquor directly into their organs
[01:43.35] The never ending crux of a very strange performance
[01:45.96] The beauty's in the gutters
[01:47.65] This entire world is flawless
[01:52.57] Scramble for a seat at the centre, fangs on discount, wings cost extra
[02:02.39] Still freefalling on a seven day bender, leap from the cliff tops, wings cost extra
[02:10.77] Still in awe of it all, tear a hole in the head, cram it full of debris
[02:14.93] Bag of souls to injest
[02:16.17] Primal spasm for one, peel an inch from the brain
[02:18.84] Whisk the earth to a pulp, sit and drink the remains
[02:21.58] Air heavy with sin, name written in lights
[02:24.75] Wouldn't swap it for shit, eyes teaming with life
[02:26.91] Keep hold of your face, days mimic a dream
[02:29.75] Still chewing the sky, reboot the machine
[02:32.37] The smell of crack wafts from the brothel beside the chicken shop
[02:35.08] Above a sewer teeming with giant beetles and killer wasps
[02:37.89] Opposite the corner where kids gorge on forbidden slop
[02:40.66] And when their stomachs burst, wipe their innards off
[02:43.38] And go about your business
[02:44.96] Blind eyes in a barrel, a tycoon launches grenades at a herd of cattle
[02:48.22] Slimy little boutiques buried beneath the gravel sell portable weapons
[02:52.35] For the killer that likes to travel
[02:54.32] The modern mammal, a delicate balance of blood and flesh
[02:56.81] I spat the phlegm from my mouth and swung a left
[02:59.67] Past a crowd of braying patriots dying a dozen deaths
[03:02.12] And a crazed woman drilling a hole in her lover's chest
[03:05.74] I saw them all smeared across my vision
[03:08.46] You were always taught to fear the competition
[03:11.17] The gin took a hold of the scene and pulled it apart
[03:13.32] Revealing manic pigs slithering adders and rabid gibbons
[03:16.02] All tearing through the hours
[03:17.62] Fiends feed addictions
[03:19.22] Inpatients rattle off an endless list of symptoms
[03:21.99] The earth yawns and wipes a city from existence
[03:24.68] In a mouthful of crumbling buildings and little infants
[03:27.29] I leaned forward and ordered another double
[03:29.73] And tunnelled out of my mind through a forest of fat and muscle
[03:32.20] Fucked on every such substance you could fit atop a shovel
[03:34.97] I text my bredrin and tell her I've been staying out of trouble
[03:37.91] Yeah right
[03:41.83] Shuffle off the edge
[04:07.56]
