We love therefore we are, a different kind of organism Inhaling atmosphere, undeniably a soul With every violent act, recorded cataclysm He can’t believe the lie, for heavens sake it’s such a bore We turn our cheeks as if our lives Are more important than the rest we say We’re not so easily confined the world is moving To be the one who falls behind Pulling Pangaea sounds so easy Pulling Pangaea sounds so easy Jot down a list of notes, a bit of holy candy Miraculously die in order of the bow We salvaged all we need, unriddled understaning It’s easier said than done, believing what we know A faulting fool who knows no lines Subduction only under tow In Panthalassa stretching wide circumference moving We repossess and overflow Pulling Pangaea sounds so easy Pulling Pangaea sounds so easy Pulling Pangaea sounds so easy Pulling Pangaea sounds so easy All we are in the stars Crust below our feet Falling off horizon Rounder than we see Pulling Pangaea sounds so easy Pulling Pangaea sounds so easy Pulling Pangaea sounds so easy Pulling Pangaea sounds so easy

Feed your mind Eat your pride Transcending the humankind smell the roses insight Healing the bond between man and his counter intuitive hide All is right Though the night Testing the waters for ice Wouldn’t want to meet the eyes Of the glacier that made sure your nature Was made from a single cell enterprise Seek what’s true Even you Have the ability old Ages, encounters have told Seizing the moments the only component To taking and breaking the mold

Brokers be trading on Wall Street Nine to five, nine to five, nine to five Evil man steals from the poor man With a knife, with a knife, with a knife Brokers be trading on Wall Street Nine to five, nine to five, nine to five Evil man steals from the poor man With a knife, with a knife Caught up in the system stealing paychecks for a living now I gotta make the most, I can but how It’s a mission for corruption like, it’s mine Sitting on the top I won’t stop I’m getting paper now Dirty money and you know its foul But baby it seems right, this time Brokers be trading on Wall Street Nine to five, nine to five, nine to five Evil man steals from the poor man With a knife, with a knife, with a knife Brokers be trading on Wall Street Nine to five, nine to five, nine to five Evil man steals from the poor man With a knife, with a knife Sit back in my office watch the clock and I want off now Maybe find myself downtown With a pretty lady by my side, tonight Blowing money quickly cuz you know that I won’t have no bounds A popping, busting bottles all around It’s that high class flavor player sound, thats right I take a look across the place and then I see your smiling face I get this certain itching feeling that I may just be your taste And now you might be rather shy, but damn girl you look so fine I get this filthy rich feeling that I’m going to make you mine Brokers be trading on Wall Street Nine to five, nine to five, nine to five Evil man steals from the poor man With a knife, with a knife, with a knife Brokers be trading on Wall Street Nine to five, nine to five, nine to five Evil man steals from the poor man With a knife, with a knife Brokers be trading on Wall Street Nine to five, nine to five, nine to five Evil man steals from the poor man With a knife, with a knife, with a knife Brokers be trading on Wall Street Nine to five, nine to five, nine to five Evil man steals from the poor man With a knife, with a knife

Welcome to our world, a universe that’s just around the bend Where we take what we want, and we take what we’ve always had Walk up to the edge with me and find out for yourself, it’s not as flat as they say Take what you want, take what you’ve always had Oh my, why why oh even try Oh my, why weep when I can fly Climbing this wall with nothing but my two bare hands Broken palms, no God just my intuition Looking over the edge I find the world is not as flat as a child once said Leave what you want, change who you are instead Oh my, why why oh even try Oh my, why leap when if I can fly Welcome to our world, a universe that’s centered ‘round the past Where we took what we want, took what we always had And I say hooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh hooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Sputnik crashing down And rushing, clashing sound In this pressurized hell, burning til your eyes burst Oh my, why why oh even try Oh my, why weep when I can fly

I go to the marketplace to satisfy my only wish Borschka says do not come home until you have the bread and fish Vodka on my breath I smell the smoked trout in the morning air Bazaar is a buzzing with the usual friendly atmosphere My wallet’s almost empty My flask is almost dry Staring in the mirror has never been so hard Makes a grown man want to cry I rise from the bed at night In a cold sweaty fear All I reach for underneath the mattress Is a Russian bottle Vodka tear Why can’t a man see it with his own two eyes Why must he live, family in full disguise Oppressed in the streets, we fall to our knees I’ve only walked forty miles They say nothing lasts forever, but judging by the moon All the stars and skies above us, are nothing but a ruse Don’t you take your daily bread for granted, no telling what ensues Listen what your mom and Dad would tell you, don’t you listen to the news But it will be alright

I could say you look nice in your black and white stripes I could say you you belong in a barred up hallway That would be unfair to you but fairs not really relevant Incarcerated abomination, no time to repent I once knew a man who turned himself in just like that I wound up penitentiary bound, criminal kind of cat So come on charge me, charge me with first degree murder I stabbed him right in the chest Lock me away and turn off the lights And I’ll be fine with the rest Take your breath give yourself some room to breathe No need to suffocate There’s a sentence headed your way right now And parole’s not too far away Twenty five to life is not so bad, oh no Spending it all by yourself in a room Is another story to be had So come on charge me, charge me with first degree murder I stabbed him right in the chest Lock me away and turn off the lights And I’ll be fine with the rest Rotting away in the darkness Never my idea of fun, oh oh Twenty five Justice is a bitch She slapped me across the face one too many times I once knew a man who turned himself in just like that I wound up penitentiary bound, criminal kind of cat So come on charge me, charge me with first degree murder I stabbed him right in the chest Lock me away and turn off the lights And I’ll be fine with the rest

What’s that noise? Sounds so nice It’s a little bit like victory, take my advice I was just a boy when I was burning it down I was mix n’ matching day by day Trying to figure it out I’ve been working like a dog Stressing that nine to five It’s a little bit contradictory To a healthy way of life What keeps me sane in this ole Dog eat dog world Is the baddest cat on tattoo strip Well that’s my kinda girl And I do, I want you I do, I need you I do, I want you I do, I need you baby What’s in your drink girl? It tastes so smooth It’s a little bit like licorice A little like Vermouth Couldn’t seem to chit-chat I couldn’t remember my own name A little bit too much whiskey in the morning time That’ll make a man insane And I do, I want you I do, I need you I do, I want you I do, I need you baby What’s that noise? Sounds so nice It’s a little bit like victory, so take my advice I was just a boy when I was burning it down I was mix n’ matching day by day Trying to figure it out And I do, I want you I do, I need you I do, I want you I do, I need you baby

Las Cervezas 07:53
If I had a dollar for every time I heard the one about the beers That never came I just might have enough, to buy all my friends three or four rounds What Does this mean? I said si is, one more cerveza sounds good to me, How does that sound to you all Las Cervezas, Las Cervezas We’ve been sitting here for hours, how about I order us all around of Spirits and lubricate the gears What is a man supposed to do, making amends with out a brew or two I said si is, one more cerveza sounds good to me, How does that sound to you all Las Cervezas, Las Cervezas If I had a dollar for every time I heard the tale of the beers I just might have enough, To treat every man and woman in this establishment What Does this mean? I said si is, one more cerveza before we leave How does that sound to you all? Biting my tongue Las Cervezas, Las Cervezas
