T-Bone Burnett - Tooth Of Crime (2008) by T-Bone Burnett (보컬) on maniadb.com

People tell me I look like hell,
Well I am hell
I got a torture-chamber orchestra
And a delirium hotel
I got a hallucination rattlesnake
To twist my skills through
You're my friend,
But I'm gonna kill you

Somebody's got to monitor all this
Darkness, darkness, darkness
Somebody's got to
Locate the bomb. Dot com.
Somebody's got to break out
Through the night
So starless, starless, starless
Those who would overthrow
The status quo

Soul like smoke thrown into the sky,
Gotta cry, gotta cry,
Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
Target Arab Sheik MK ultra
Satellite blow up
Kill the pain, let it rain, let it rain

I will disengage your mastery
Until all your love is blasphemy
Then I'll break in through you idiocy
And twist your desire hideously
Then when you're the object
Of complete derision
I'll make you a star on television
Then if you want fame at
A greatest strength
Speak to my girl Friday
The thirteenth

Got no background, got no files
Crawl through the cable black op
Ground zero, no flight zone.
All alone, all alone, all alone

This is a story which is
Based on a true story,
Which is based on a lie

Don't jack with me, Sahib I'm history.
Don't jack with me, Lucielle,
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone.

We lived outside the law
We struck with wild desire
We blinded all we saw
We made the sun our fire

But now a line’s been crossed
Our intuition lost
Where yellow orchids bloomed
The land is scorched an doomed

We were both here and gone
We rode with cruel deceit
We took the moon at dawn
The stars fell at our feet

But now the die’s been cast
Our vision fading fast
Where rivers ran with gold
The fields are black and cold

Darkness falls through the banyan tree
Beating wings of no birds
Waves of loneliness break on me
In the sound of no words

But now the night’s gone dead
The hours filled with dread
Where blue magnolias laid
The colors twist and fade

We lived outside the law
We struck with wild desire
We blinded all we saw
We made the sun our fire.

It's cold
Hold me close
Don't fall down
Don't push me away
Stay still
Blind man.

We stood together in the open field
And heard the secrets that the night revealed
Then we chased the lie
Racing through the sky

Can we untangle guilt or innocence?
How hard we torture this ambivalence
Night will bring no dawn
Where has power gone?

For I'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping
And sell them for dust and cheap lust
And I'll slit your hope while you are weeping
And wipe the blood clean with morphine
Be my queen

The wind howls the black clouds
Around the storm at sea
I'm dropping at too great a speed

Come closer to me
On your hands and knees
Alone in the kill zone

How much is not enough, how much is through?
How long will I be getting over you?
How much grief and sin til a heart caves in?

Til a heart caves in
Til a heart caves in

I was conceived in a behavior station
Light years from civilization
I was born in oblivion
Half Balinese half Libyan
My father was a vector
My mother was a specter
As earthmen battle for their skins
I come down with the aliens

Is this not the rat age
The demented Photostat age
The time of no room

We've broken the genetic code
And left it bleeding by the road
Where murderers loom

You've changed your face you've changed your scent
You've even changed your fingerprint
Image is anything
But with all this electricity
You can't change your publicity
The lies the many sing

Down in the greed plex
Under a spike of light
Stop at the slave port
Enter the death resort
No stimulation
Nothing but mono thought
Re simulation
Depop but don't get caught

I dream to surf the rodeocean
Negotiate meaning with no emotion
If the kill is clean your still got time
To hone evil on the tooth of crime

I'm sober on the grapes of wrath
While running down the psycho path
Is this not a cruel world
Good morning little school girl
It's the rat age.

Swizzle stick
I can take you with a swizzle stick
Swizzle stick
And vanish you like a magic trick

In the neck is low tech
Through the heart is high art

Swizzle stick
I can stir you like a Bloody Mary
Swizzle stick
And turn your cool incendiary

In the back is Black Jack
Through the eye is Sci-Fi

Swizzle stick

The true source of light in a mirrored room
Doom baby doom baby doom
Whatever fools the eye is true
I can jerk the world from under you

Bleed
Distort

Swizzle stick
I can infiltrate your pride

Swizzle stick
And lace your faith with cyanide

Through the brain feel no pain
In the throat no antidote

Swizzle stick
Swizzle stick

Make me your king
I will make your soul ring.

Bongo rama lama ram das kapital
Bruja ya ya no no na nah nah
Call your marker darker darker
Call your marker darker darker

Church of Texas sky paint well born
Proper racial policy Abilene to Van Horn
Narcotrafficker particle beta
Strategy of tension eradicate all data

Can a mind be changed electronically
With all of our attempts we still don't know
Or perhaps it happens chronically
To those with no place left to go
I hear your lies symphonically
Deep in blank space galaxy halo

Governements lie in the elastopast
Keep your eyes open cause it happens fast
He'll seize his victim underneath his breath
Dante to fante the dance of death

Velocity coverage at headquarters
Gone to bug city with the activist reporters
It's hot this close to the plutonium core
It's the thing you face in the neverending war

I miss the stunning mafiosa
I miss the good old Cosa Nostra
Mystery witness, deception, machines
Here come the philistines

Bongo rama lama ram das kapital
Bruja ya ya no no na nah nah
Call your marker darker darker
Call your marker darker darker.

Time is quit
Look it in the eye
In blood we sit
In dark we die
Don't blink now
Sweet lullaby

Clock is stopped
Stare into this skull
Into the face
Invisible
Hold me close
Sweet actual

Come and drape across my knee
Rain through my street
Come and blow this candle out
Incomplete

Time is quit
Look it in the eye
In blood we sit
In dark we die
Don't blink now
Sweet lullaby.
