Young Fathers - The Guide lyrics
[Young Fathers - The Guide lyrics]
The guide on the road is the drips of blood
The book unfolds with a touch of love
Ears in the ipod head in the clouds
Took the silver lining shout it out loud
OPEN THE LOCKET the prince of chaos
Blessings upon you for joining in the seance
Let the milk spill heavy drill
Suits and ties coloured pils
Take the money out the till
Lay the concrete make them build
Smiley people hold my hand
Get the camera let it flash
Pacifistic flashing cash
I've forgotten how to dance
Where is my consultants
Taking trips while on remand
Make a list of my demands
Shifting from a saint into a sinner
All before dinner peek inside the hero lies
Deep within the inner
Motherfucker in this crucible of violence
The legends of the tyrant
March along to a song
Sticky tape your eyelids to be righteous
Vampires stay biteless biter stays stateless
Spaceman stays weightless
Have you hung from the highest
Yardarm in the navy
MAMI WATA you needn't bother
She's fastasleep with her baby daughter
CONCRETE FLOORS paper thin walls
If you close your eyes you can hear her call
HEAR HER CALL if you close your eyes
You can hear her call hEAR HER CALL
Blessing be upon you
(and that's the end of the story)
Sha la la la la
The book unfolds with a touch of love
Ears in the ipod head in the clouds
Took the silver lining shout it out loud
OPEN THE LOCKET the prince of chaos
Blessings upon you for joining in the seance
Let the milk spill heavy drill
Suits and ties coloured pils
Take the money out the till
Lay the concrete make them build
Smiley people hold my hand
Get the camera let it flash
Pacifistic flashing cash
I've forgotten how to dance
Where is my consultants
Taking trips while on remand
Make a list of my demands
Shifting from a saint into a sinner
All before dinner peek inside the hero lies
Deep within the inner
Motherfucker in this crucible of violence
The legends of the tyrant
March along to a song
Sticky tape your eyelids to be righteous
Vampires stay biteless biter stays stateless
Spaceman stays weightless
Have you hung from the highest
Yardarm in the navy
MAMI WATA you needn't bother
She's fastasleep with her baby daughter
CONCRETE FLOORS paper thin walls
If you close your eyes you can hear her call
HEAR HER CALL if you close your eyes
You can hear her call hEAR HER CALL
Blessing be upon you
(and that's the end of the story)
Sha la la la la
