| John the Baptist wore wild minks
|
| Strewn 'bout the room with a swoon and a wink
|
| Big body Bethlehem links
|
| Top model, playing piano while he thinks
|
| What’s perfection when life’s interesting on the brink?
|
| Gregorian chants over drinks
|
| In reverence from legends historians seek
|
| Tone of Charlie’s good grief
|
| With the soul of James' good feet
|
| Those who never ate of strange fruits
|
| Think his tooth is unique
|
| Yet within his group he’s very couth at the least
|
| Jus' well in tune with the movements of beasts
|
| In the dark age he was unfazed by the new waves
|
| And stayed true to his old ways
|
| Word on the streets, was that he parted seas with ease
|
| And broke breads with saints and thieves
|
| The shade of his sleeve was the same as the slaves to kings
|
| The raven’s wit and the mood that brings
|
| The understanding of the enemy
|
| And power in the song one sings
|
| A boast that Joseph’s coat would beg to emote
|
| Feasting on meats that was bled from the throat
|
| Lambs and goats
|
| Wiping the grease from said treats on the sleeves of his coats
|
| Messages received from burnin' trees was translated to tablets so the heard
|
| could read, indeed
|
| He ghost wrote psalms, but few saw him on the scene
|
| Masterpieces for the paychecks
|
| Said he wants the same they cut Mike for the Sistine
|
| Been an umpteen since he pissed clean
|
| And stopped attending lessons, couple blocks from the bean
|
| Don’t try to rewrite your story when you die
|
| Johnny boy wore wild minks, and so will I
|
| Why not?
|
| Hey, hey sweetheart, bring me a glass, will ya?
|
| Not a cup, a glass, rhymes with class, ya understand?
|
| Come on, smarten up
|
| It’s alright, it’s alright
|
| Bobby Sherman, Christmas album, that’s where I got my style from, quite frankly
|
| And I had this Panamanian tailor, this guy name Mr. Holt, I mean this guy,
|
| I’m talkin' about a marvel with needle and thread, you know what I mean?
|
| You don’t find guys that make clothes like this anymore, you know?
|
| The linings he would come up with, you understand?
|
| His business card, it didn’t say fuckin' tailor, it said fuckin' interior
|
| decorator
|
| And he comes up with these own patterns, you understand what I’m saying?
|
| To the point where, you wanted to take the fuckin blazer off and turn it inside
|
| out and wear it inside out, you know, you understand what I’m saying?
|
| Because that’s how fuckin' marvelous you’d look here
|
| You know, we’re talking, it’s the '60s, it’s free love, and everybody’s got the
|
| fuckin', you know, the dashikis and the tie-dye on
|
| And you want to fit in, you know, you don’t wanna be the odd man out
|
| They got hot girls that look, you know, they got hot girls, you know,
|
| hot hippie girls
|
| You’ve seen a couple of them, yeah you know?
|
| The other broads, you don’t-
|
| Hey sweetheart? |
| Do me a favor?
|
| Hey sweetheart, you up there?
|
| Can, can you bring me a glass? |
| I’m thirsty here |
