Hell Is Around The Corner

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 stand firm for a soil

i lick a rock off foil

so reduce me, seduce me,

dress me up in stüssy.

hell is round the corner where i shelter.

isms and schisms, we're living on a skelter

if you believe i'll deceive common sense says you are thief

let me take you down the corridors of my life.

tricky and martina:

and when you walk, do you walk to your preference

no need to answer 'till...

tricky:

i take further evidence.

i seem to need a reference to get residence

a reference to your preference to say,

i'm a good neighbour, i trudge,

so judge me for my labour,

lobotomy ensures my good behavior

the constant struggle ensures my insanity.

passing the indifference ensures the struggle for my family

we're hungry, beware of our appetite.

distant drums bring the news of a kill tonight.

the kill which i share with my passengers.

we take our fill, take our fill, take a feel.

i stand firm for a soil

i lick a rock off foil

so reduce me, seduce me,

dress me up in stüssy.

confused by different memories,

details of asian remedies

conversations, of what's become of enemies.

my brain thinks bomb-like,

so i listen he's a calm type.

as i grow

and as i grow, i grow collective.

before the move sit on the perspective.

mr. quail's in the crevice

and watches from the precipice.

imperial passage.

heat from the sun someday slowly passes,

until then, you have to live with yourself

until then, you have to live with yourself

i stand firm for a soil

lick a rock off foil

so reducee me, seduce me,

dress me up in stüssy.

martina :

hell is round the corner where i shelter.

isms and schisms, we're living a skelter

if you believe i'll deceive and common sense says you are the

thief

let me take you down the corridors.

tricky :

my brain thinks bomb-like, bomb-like

my brain thinks bomb-like, bomb-like, bomb-like

my brain thinks bomb-like,

beware of our appetite.
