Songtext Under the influence Citizen King

Under the influence

now out past the cast of boredom cards get
dealt i sift and sort them table rooftops
coming down wooden nickels lost and
found apple pie i'm eating cake now
coming to the table late now juke joint fights
and diamond lights immune to poision ivy
snake bites batteries from start to chuck got
the outer limits voodoo luck stand by on a
highball holiday served fresh from a plastic
tray i?ve been around and up and down
overboard when ship came down out of
mind and sight in the strobophonic light i'm
under the influence tonight on the concrete
on the glass beyond the neon green bus
pass nowhere fast is where i'm going like a
crack that's slowly leaking juice on the floor
do a little less i take a little more time day to
day and eye to eye when these walls
become alive the sparkle helmet spins
around midnight streak in a twist top town
crystal clear through amber glasses bad with
names but worse with faces zig zag
wandering on the curve transparent mason
dixon curves i've got more nerve than a tiki
torch in a quiet storm so i'm searchin for the
third kind blast off and cut the cord
