I'm floating in a black balloon
O.D. on Easter afternoon
My mamma told me, "Baby stay clean,
there's no in between."
And all you ladies and you gentleman
Between's all you've ever seen or been
Fit poorly and arrange the sight
Doll her up in virgin white
You disappoint me
You people rakin' in on the world

The devil's script sells you
the heart of a blackbird
Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart

Sun's risin' on a choppy glare
Rain dropping acid brought up in the air
A distorted reality's is now a necessity to be free

It's so disapointing
First I put it all down to luck
God knows why my country don't give a fuck
