Lyrics
Oswald Defense Lawyer
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.
How could he cope with the flashing-by past [/flash in
my past]?
Through my vid-earphone amp I had to tap
I relate the tract
Oswald Defense Lawyer
Oswald Defense Lawyer
Embraces the scruffed* corpse of the Mark Twain
Oswald Defense Lawyer
How do you think that jury made up of putrid mass
Embraced theory of triangle bullet lines
Turning in circles twice,
Then incredible, marvelous, exiting back of mind?
And Oswald's Defense Lawyer
Embraces scruffed corpse of Mark Twain
Oswald Defense Lawyer
Embraces scruffed corpse of Walt Whitman
Oswald Defense Lawyer
Embraces the scruffed corpse of Mark Twain
Decent lawyer fishes in buckskin hat
Raccoons drown beneath his embarking mass
When he sees CIA shit flying over head fast
Goody goody looks up
In cloudless sky enhancing theory of zig-zag
bulletline
Oswald Defense Lawyer
Embraces the scruffed corpse of the Mark Twain
He's liberal and insane,
He caught the good news horse
His opposite is vain
The cardboard fake in the witness stand
He's got an interview in Spin magazine
He loves the magazine
His mouth is in his brain
The prosecution lawyer
Turns himself to butter
Oswald Defense Lawyer
Oswald Defense Lawyer
Embraces the scruffed corpse of Walt Whitman
Cheap rifle photo touched up
Drawn on sky
Oswald's head added on a commie tie
While Oswald Defense Lawyer
