Keep What Ya Got







Yesterday came suddenly
Tomorrow will receive
Today now you're at the wheel
I'll ask how does it feel





Yesterday when Heaven's gates
I contemplate, they seem so far
Today they ain't so far away
And almost seem a drag





Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away





Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away






When your halo slips for good
You'll have to wear your hood
Good to feel the breeze of fear





On all the cynics, I'm your mimick
All you losers, all abusers
Wasting all my precious energy







Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away





Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away






Remember where you came from
Sisters who told ya on a rainy day
They said that Heaven holds a place






For all of those who prey
And if you don't believe in agony
Then you don't care anyway
Nobody or nothings ever gettin' in your way







Even as you played along
But don't feel you belong
No one's gonna notice if you never right or wrong





And if you and your next neighbor
Yeah, you don't quite get along
No one's gonna notice if you're singing anyway
Those not coming in for free will learn they gotta pay

Corpses In Their Mouths







You tell lies when the truth will do
You are the social chameleon
What on earth we gonna do with you?
Slip your neck into a rope






Show me a smile, you'd run a mile
Then you are free, so wheres the goal?
Wheres the style?
You want the dough







Got dead sea scrolls for you
And your woman too







Shes got corpses in her mouths
Still shes holding hands with you
Its cut like crystal chandeliers
Ill shine like diamonds in her ears






She smokes crack
Its off the beaten track
You are the social chameleon
Yes, you change to suit the people around you





Its like the waves that hit the shore
You cannot stand the force of law
Look man, I know it from your nature
Hit the deck, as the creator





Got dead sea scrolls for you
And your woman too







Shes got corpses in her mouths
Still shes holding hands with you
Its cut like crystal chandeliers
Ill shine like diamonds in her ears





Shes got corpses in her mouths
Still shes holding hands with you
Its cut like crystal chandeliers
Ill shine like diamonds in her ears





Shes got corpses in her mouth

I stellify






Yeah the first time
When you are stellified
Could be the last chance
I have to sanctify
So save the last dance
For me my love cause I
I see you as an angel freshly
Fallen from the sky

Heard your first words
Before I saw your eyes
Fell from your sweet lips
With you I stellify
So save the last dance
For me my love cos I
I see you as an angel
Freshly fallen from the sky

I made a shrine
With candles for you
I see you are an angel
All the things that you do
Now I found tomorrow
with you I stellify
Throw my arms above
Cause now I fly and touch the sky

I stellify

I'm miles high

I stellify
