Artist: Sage Francis f/ Saul Williams (with Will Oldham) Album: Sea Lion 12" Song: Sea Lion (Remix) Typed by: nexalacer@hotmail.com, Wammy Giveaway [Female] "A healthy distrust" Chorus: Will Oldham Force of my love was strong Sea lion laying down long A song in the air, why should singer care when Singer can be among song Repeat Chorus [Verse 1: Sage Francis] Ma, ma, look what I did, ma Look what I did to my hands, I broke 'em You gave me the stone, gave me the chisel Didn't say how to hold 'em Didn't say give away every piece Of the puzzle til I was left with nothin' But I took it upon myself To crush it up and distribute the dust Get in the bus Hop in the van Jump in the water, crawl to the land Build another castle out of the sand Break it down and then I get into the saddle again Gone city to city, I'm already lost, tell the boss Who is new in town I'm a ride this horse til it bucks me off And I'm forced to shoot it down I'm a take him out for some gasoline I'm a trade this cow for some magic beans Make mom proud of the deals that I've made Cause I'm just a modern day Johnny Appleseed But I'm glad that I never passed the gins And I never, put down the axe (Axe...) Piano man got a checkered dance floor To grace, and the painful look on his face Cause the crowd is packed, and the louder they clapped The less he is able to make the connection Between what he sees, when he hears certain notes And the hurt that is shown in his facial expression I Don't need your "go-ahead" to go ahead Yeah, I know no one said it was gon' be easy But sweet Jesus, who wants to sleep with me Way to many moves to learn But not enough people to put 'em on Look it, mom, no hands, I built this suit of armor with wooden arms Repeat Chorus [Verse 2: Saul Williams] Oh God, I think I'm dead (Dead) I can't see outside my head (Head) Brains and bloods and cryptic gang men Czars and warlords breaking bread (Bread) Thoughts are thought, what's said is said (Said) I thought that 'fore you said it (Said it) I didn't mean to think out loud My tongue slipped, but who let it Let it be Let me be Let me go Now let me out (Me out...) My manhood nods and whispers When my father screams and shouts Dear dad, I'm sad you dead, a new man Standing in the pulpit (Pulpit...) He bows before a wooden cross And forces, praise the culprit I'm a tenor, in the choir But I sing a different song (Song...) Of how the where's and why's of now All prove I don't belong But I'm staying I've planted seeds and planned to watch 'em grow (Watch 'em grow...) I've watered all my wishes, dreams Fulfilled, more seeds to sow And I promised To learn to love the way I learned to fear To unknot all the inhibitions tangled in my hair To let my ego mound my piles around the barber chair And make a graceful exit From my vexed and troubled years I decided I've been invited to my own resort (Resort...) When knights couldn't leave their armor neatly piled by the door (Door...) And every woman, child and man will gather by the shore (Shore...) And study how sea lions swim in cursive (Swim in cursive...) Repeat Chorus
