Keep Hope A Lie

keep hope a lie

no more lies

Have shown less man

than that homeless man

who roams this land

'cos I've been known to slam?

I pioneer in experiment like Dolly

but try and clone this lamb

you'll be blown to sand!

It's not a hostage situation

it's a loan, god-damn!

I rock progressive styles

like a stone(d)rock band

you''ve been caught off guard, man

you need a soft start

and an exceptionally tough card hand

your hands are cuffed hard

and you feel your wrists swelling up

you know it's H-I-P,

but you have trouble spelling HOP

Boo! I do boo at taboos

I'm not an out-of-control freight train

I'm an in-control caboose

Boo!

you always said

my devatating boo scares skins

even if I may look like one

who dares wins

you seem a bit shook, my son

I'd like to thank whoever took my gun

the Natives say Paleface cook Bison

I trust written word 'cos books lie none

authors often do 'cos it looks like fun

I - I promise to try and waste less money

than that tasteless honey

with the blue eye-shadow

depending on who I'd battled

maybe sound weaker or sound tougher

allow me to recapitulate

they never found Hoffa

enough of bargaining

verify the Spellbound offer

it's time to make the Silver Crown suffer

(...) you used to bomb in some red

in order to make the brown rougher

Santo Domingo Lingo su canto

A-sap! pronto!

you be Tonto and I'll play Lone Ranger's part

the Child in the Manger starts

to think that the stranger part

is this sudden change of heart

I embellish this hellish pain

tearing veins apart

they say my tongue's a narrow arrow

and my edgy brain's a dart

pain's an artform

and a Force to be reckoned with

the glove wouldn't fit the First time
