The Spirit Vs. The Kick Drum
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.
I don't want the Spirit, I want the kick drum
i don't want the Spirit, I want the kick drum
I know how it works, oh I'm not dumb
I don't want the Spirit, I want the kick drum
Like sex without love
Like peace without the dove
Like a crime scene without the blood
I don't want the Spirit, you know I want the kick drum
I don't want the Son, I want a jury of peers
I don't want the Son, I want a jury of peers
Mascara's gonna run when you see my tears
I don't want the Son, I want a jury of peers
Like lies without the truth
Like wine without the fruit
Like a skydive without the chute
I don't want the Son, you know, I want a jury of peers
I don't want the Spirit, you know, I want the kick drum
I don't want the Father, want a vending machine
I don't want the Father, want a vending machine
I know what I want if you know what I mean
I don't want the Father, want a vending machine
Like heaven without gates
Like hell without flames
Like life without pain
I don't want the Father, you know I want a vending machine
I don't want the Son, you know I want a jury of peers
I don't want the Spirit, you know I want the kick drum
