Cookie

From waters to the west i settled down

But in the belly of the city i carve my ground

And as the days go by and the seasons change

A red tide comes in from the bay

There goes cookie with his knife

There goes cookie with his knife

There goes cookie with his knife

With his knife

I took a dirty, dirty wind from my chest

And blew it down to the water's edge

There goes cookie with his knife

There goes cookie with his knife

There goes cookie with his knife

With his knife

I'm gonna take off my clothes,

And empty my bones into the river

I'm gonna take off my clothes,

And empty my bones into the river

I'm gonna take off my clothes,

And empty my bones into the river

I took the wind and made it speak

And woke up all the freaks

I taught the cripples how to walk

And send them running to the peaks

Til everyone was naked

They were naked, they were raw

I drew a line down in the sand and made them fight a war

But they ran around in circles

So i rationed all their thoughts

I took away their systems, i took away their laws

And some were on their knees,

And some were swinging from the trees

And the ones left to walk in sync

I taught them to believe

Oh, to believe

That i could rain, rain on this whole parade

And watch it roll, watch it roll away..
