You Will Never Take Me Alive
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.
Let's here it for circuits
lines drawn in the earth
cut to scramble for ramble
little mouse hole to park your new car
& chew off our arms
with teeth we are losing from slow, comfy screwings
three cheers for the backseats
you legs pin that look in your eye
you'll never take me alive
this is what you are
you are what you
let's here it for mirrors
with the ghost image clearer
hip hip for the pig that religiously belts you undone
this little piggy had none
'cause god hates our country
she told me she wants me to sing out "he's female!"
three cheers for the gal in the sky
you'll never take me alive
this is what you are
you are what you
this is what you are
do you know what it means to be doomed?
do you know what it means to be cursed?
when the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south
you they're hiding bodies north
did you know that we're sinking knee-deep?
did you nail down what you plan to keep?
when the poltergeist pushes his freight on your shore
you are done for
done for
done for
the caskets are coughing with quotable quoting
the graveyard is litters with loves who thought their was no doubt
the world could not live without
this is what you are
you are what you
this is what you are
if i live through the day when the comet does come
i will write every one on my list one by one
sharpen the axe
stomp the flames out on backs
i will be who you want me to be
i will be who you want me to be
do you know what it means to be doomed?
do you know what it means to be cursed?
when the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south
you they're hiding bodies north
did you know that your boot hills are stuck?
loosing feet worth the rabbits are good luck
when the devil is resting his head on your door
you are done for
done for
done for
you are done for
done for
done for
did you know that you nurse a beehive?
come & get it
come take me alive
all the nooses are in it; a grizzly frontier
we will show this cruel world
we will show this cruel world we were here.
