Number Nine

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Deliver us from evil

Litter bugged amoeba simmer on the brimstone

Grim tone, bring him home

Authoritative restoration will be rationed righteously

To those deemed suitably fit to police their own sobriety

Standard law that wriggle intimate, mingle with coincidental mishap, then snap

Curse the digs

Yellow brick Zooka birthed the piss

I trust that every litigant will be his own worst pig

Thirst big, baby, I reckon y'all are a mess too, but insecurities will

Make your bio sound less cool

If fizzy lifting drinks are par for saddling your horse,

You might consider sawing Sea Biscuit off at the knees before

Few chew sacred like them sewer cougars

Patient 'til the Lugar movers daytrip with them super cookers blazing

Divvy up the remarkable carcass, what a relief

And y'all ain't even washed yesterday's blood off your teeth

Behind the buck-bin Duane Reade aviators plated with the dookie brown tint sit

The googly off the daily paper

Clip red or blue (Blue!)

Either way the shredder chew

Letter to the editor messenger, let him through

Engine engine number nine, sock it to me one more time

Said uh, un-gowa, we got the power

Automatic systematic engine number nine, sock it to me one more time

Said un-gowa we got the power

Okay, do your thing

Family, do your thing, do your thing, stop

I put a beetle on his back and take notes

Play a dealt hand. Kicks wing tips 'til the tank flips conveyor belt

Shelf a mayor saber for catering navy savior

Help who treat stray children like clay pigeons off the sailor's deck

He squeaks 'pull', I freak the wool over the owl eye;

Filter sheepish winter through it's sister on the outside

Meanwhile back at HQ, he's twisting his moustache, hatching a plan to hate you

Shark fin dollar pay a ghost guild buckets

Hard pill to swallow and he knows pills, trust him

Drunkards of the crystal palace suck assignment

Walk the diamonds in the soles of your chukkas back to the slaves who mined 'em

It's Raggedy Andy clan; fancy the pretty stitches

'Til he learned the skinny on the fragility's physics

Like he snag a button eye on the fly by the barbs

Super glue the parts, now his students are alarmed

No worries, it's snow flurries compared to what the sheriff wish:

Curfew the city that must not

Bust warn shots at a run-of-mill Waldo on a doctor hunt

He will make the most wonderful sarcophagus occupant

Engine engine number nine, sock it to me one more time

Said uh, un-gowa, we got the power

Automatic systematic engine number nine, sock it to me one more time

Said un-gowa we got the power

Okay, do your thing

Family, do your thing, do your thing, stop

Rotten egg, not to be pegged as fashionably tardy

The difference is the latter got the freebies from the barkeep

Wait, Aes-fucking-Rock is in the building

The room looked up, looked down, kept sniffing

Slit the neck and slip the chip in, sipping anti-governmental zombie grog

But zombied up gladly on your Swiss Army watch

As if twitching upon your authored condition's

Really that different from administered conditioning glitches

Kissing a firewater pitcher with the fatal Drano-chase game

It's hiding in the Nang labeled with the day-glow face paint

Some buckle when the T-Rex treks shakes the puddles

My huggable jungle

My son of a dove cry, humble, even doves die

I took the black outta something to judge the lung by

I took the mag out like the crack out of a bum's pipe

I hook the tag up like a flag over the plum sky

Mud pie cruiser with an oink for the innocent

I blame it on the ambiguous quote unquote system

If a quota needs some filling you're a whore

Sincerely yours, engine number nine conductor

All aboard!

Engine engine number nine, sock it to me one more time

Said uh, un-gowa, we got the power

Automatic systematic engine number nine, sock it to me one more time

Said un-gowa we got the power

Okay, do your thing

Family, do your thing, do your thing, stop
