Crowfeathers

Something stinks to high heaven- goodbye Reverend
Check my weapon, it’s 9-11 side-steppin’
Five less than seven still believe that they were destined
That’s two too many for the million dollar question

Make sure I’m strapped in with God as my captain
Co-pilot's just a parachute with a brass pin
Tailspin convinces me its the pale end
My own spine sayin' go 'head and bail then

Somehow the payphone caught me on the way home
And all the stray souls called me every name known
Allow the stranglehold on me, what your brain froze?
Tryin' to keep the fire warm which ever way the flame blows

Surveillance cameras only seen blurry images
Clean get aways/ dirty witnesses
Strobe light flashing in your living room the whole night
Hold tight, I hear the ride down isn't so nice

Chorus:
I'm just around the bend
With crow feathers in the wind
Hear the howling hounds begin
There's no measure to the end

Push button ignite, all systems go
Exhaust out the tailpipe, motor oil in snow
Lurch through the cold city blocks while they sleep
Steam out the sewer grates; ghosts in the street

Wires rattle with electrical tape straddled
Nest under the hood built with twigs, leaves and gravel
Hard-headed asshole on my right waving his gavel
Cursing ‘bout the miles traveled under his saddle

Steel-toed stepper rainwalkin’ out his coffin
Talkin’ his brains out to whoever acknowledge him
Claims he owns Austin but he’s never left Boston
Been known to crucify any crunk creep that cross him

Scewface outlined his territory with blue tape
Built a brickwall around 52 new states
Rattle the rattlesnakes and poison the fire
We go fishing in dead lakes with lead on a wire

Casino robbed you blind with a smile for your industry
You don't remember last night, past lives run vividly
Flash flood left you with a body full of bad blood
Now the rides are shut down and all the tents are packed up

Black light bulb in my flash light skull
Past life shimmers in a jack knife dull
Unsatisfied, scan the room with rapid eyes
Zombie in a rec room now call me back to life

Chorus
