Lyrics
Oily Boker
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.
Still steadfast and strong
Remains my faith in song
I've seen a tender, violent throne
Ride the violence, the violence
Through we keep these songs on
On y va, Arcadia
Guard the house, you monkey mouse
On y va, oh la la
Someone forgot to say Oily Boker
Gentle man all day, Oily Boker
Stalters and full throttles
Well these days they're few, they're few and far between
I think I'll register my name
I'll register my name with a 60 skin puppet string
On y va, Arcadia
Guard the house, you monkey mouse
On y va, ouh la la
Someone forgot to say Oily Boker
Gentle man all day, Oily Boker
It's all a little too close to home
It's all a little too close to the bone
It's all a little too close to home
It's a little too close to the bone
It's all a little too close to home
It's all a little too close to the bone
Someone forgot to say Oily Boker
Gentle man all day, Oily Boker
