Lyrics
Devil's got a cut -- like a slit in a cattle's calf dollar-sign snakes I'm all in the -- damn god-less -- fearless of the flood -- or the blood of the coming Spring. Something is shedding its scales -- crying from the heat -- of the light or the empty shell on the stage... -- "And cash is the poor man's money.Cash is the poor man's money" -- "And cash is the poor man's money. Cash is the poor man's money" SO YOU SAY "GOD," AND I SAY, "SAY10" YOU SAY, "GOD" AND I SAY, "SAY10" SAY SAY SAY 10 Open your mouth, love like a gutted church my goat horns -- are napalm trees, and a crown of thorns -- is hard to swallow. -- You should pray now, -- Is it above or is it below? You should pray now, Is it above or is it below? SO YOU SAY "GOD," AND I SAY, "SAY10" SAY SAY SAY10 YOU SAY "GOD" AND I SAY, "SAY10" SAY SAY SAY 10 Cocaine and Abel I don't baptize whores I'm a legend -- I'm not a fable. Cocaine and Abel -- I don't baptize whores -- I'm a legend -- I'm not a fable. -- Cocaine and Abel -- I don't baptize whores -- I'm a legend I'm not a fable. Cocaine and Abel -- I don't baptize whores I'm a legend -- I'm not a fable. You should pray now, -- Is it above or is it below? You should pray now, Is it above or is it below? YOU SAY "GOD," AND I SAY, "SAY10" SAY SAY SAY10 YOU SAY "GOD" AND I SAY, "SAY10" SAY SAY SAY 10 SAY SAY SAY 10 SAY SAY SAY 10
Trivia
- The line "something is shedding its scales, crying from the heat of the light," is quite reminiscent of a line from the David Bowie song "Rock 'n' Roll with Me" from his Diamond Dogs album, "while the lizards lay crying in the heat."
- The line “is it above or is it below” could be a nod to Hermetic Alchemy and The Emerald Tablet. It’s opening lines being, “That which is below is like that which is above & that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing”
