SNAKE OIL
Pragmatism
Inherent magnetism
Propensity parade
Flag of chauvinism billows
Bleeding pallid colors
It only takes one moment
Imposing fall from grace
Satanic sacrilege
Lethal wounded pride
Delusional catharsis
He drowns in holy water
Snake oil seals the deal
Angels cry for innocence lost
Social trauma princess
Tragic phantasmagoria
Glaring lack of remorse
Solemn pledge of eternal love
Left broken on the alter
"Down and out in London, Los Angeles and Paris, too, uh-huh
I drank a river in my time
To get on through, yeah
Well, the night, it rise above you, rise above me
And the blues, they swirl around me
To the heart of soul
You got to bleed a little while you sing
Lest the words don't mean nothing, no
Get to the heart of soul
Gotta get to the heart of soul,"
HEART OF SOUL
