Swizzle Stick

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
