Sucker of Pistol City Lyrics
[Verse]
An ancient bird flips out
And mumbling something heavy
About the frozen arena of the stars
The sucker of pistol city
No, not the one from China

Will they crown you?
Sit still for the emotion police with tranquilizer guns
Will they destroy you?
[Bridge]
Son, your heart is everybody’s throne
From the worker to the drone
Do your part and we'll let them all come piss
[Chorus 2]
In the pool baptizing them, crystallizing them
But will the lifeguards drown you?
Let’s spend the summer blind and get it on all the time
I waited so long but I found you
