Black Iguana

Have you ever fantasized what it might be like

to crack the sacred nut and have the world be your oyster

and like a leaf blowin' in the wind

fate always seems to escape you

leave you hangin' - jaded, bitter bottomed-out brother

If you could be anyone in the world - who would you be?

would you be a tolstoy, vasco da gama, or carlos santana?

would you strike a note resounding live in the chords of the hearts of men -

or would you just stand back in the shadows and let it all fade to nothing?

Jump on the black iguana

People been sellin' their soles long before it was fashionable

talkin' table talk about truth - justice - morality

but was your down on your luck and your starvin'

these things are meaningless -

just a mind fuck - a cold pat on the back

Lonely hearts long to be loved and they get their fair share of love

walkin' down the primrose path

red eyes, red lips, snowflakes

but passion like truth don't always stand the test of time

so you wipe the lipstick off and you start all over

Jump on the black iguana

lizards take their time when they go home

Phones - fax machines - bottled water - television -

they're all instruments of the devil

and ought to be encouraged

so remember this is your last chance to detonate adversity-

this is your last chance to twist the sands and hands of time -

this is your last chance to get 'chor shit together

'chor shit together

Jump on the black iguana

jump on the black iguana

jump on the black iguana

lizards take their time when they go home
