Slanted and Enchanted
SUMMER BABE-winter version-
Ice baby
I saw your girlfriend
She's eating her fingers
like they're just another meal
She waits there
In the levee wash
Mixing cocktails with
a plastic-tipped cigar (goooo)
My eyes stick to
All those shiny robes you wear
on the protein delta strip
In an abandoned houseboat
I'll wait there
I'll be waiting forever
Waiting Waiting Waiting Waiting Waiting Waiting Waiting (go)
Minerals, ice deposits
Daily drop off the first shiny robe
I've got a lot of things
I want to sell but but
not here babe, you took it all
Everytime I look around I find that I'm shocked
Everytime I look around I find that I'm shocked
Everytime I look around I find
Everytime I look around I find
Everytime Everytime Everytime Everytime Everytime Everytime
You're my Summer Babe
Summer Babe

TRIGGER CUT/wounded-kite at:17
lies and betrayals
fruit-covered nails
electricity and lust
won't break the door
i've got a heavy coat
it's filled with rocks and sand
and if i lose you
i'll be coming back today
(i got a message for you)
i'll be coming back today
(i keep it in my hand)
ya know i'm coming back one day
(i've got a sister or two)
and i'll be coming back today
ex-magician
still knows the tricks
tricks are everything to me
until it's free
i've got a trigger cut
and i can't pull it back
but if i learn how i'll be
coming back today
(i got a message for you)
you know i'm coming back today
(i keep it in my hand)
and you will look at me and say
(i've got a sister to you?)
that you just wish i went away.
sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
i learned the truth,
the truth of the words,
truth i made for you
because it's just as good
and if i spit it out
before i chew the
ring i'll rearrange it
till it looks just right today
(i got a message for you)
and i'll be coming my way
(i keep it in my hand)
and you will look at me and say
(i've got a sister or two)
that you just wish i went away...today.
owhoo sha-la-la-la-la x 3
NO LIFE SINGED HER
take me down from the ridge where
the summer ends, we'll watch the city
spread out just like a jet's flame.
i've got a secret for you, i cut your
angel in two, i left her bleeding
and soaked it with a dry sponge
no life has singed her now
(i can see it fade)
we've got a license to live, it's our only one,
if it expires we float up to the dust haze.
i've got a secret for you, i cut your
angel in two, i saw her spinning and dripping
on your new dress...
IN THE MOUTH A DESERT
can you treat it like an oil well
when it's undergroud out of sight?
and if the sight is just a whore sign
can it make enough sense to me?
pretend the table is a trust knot
we'll put our labels down faith is down
and watch the yards of twine unravel
and you'll never get it back-
it's what i want don't you know
we could make it dry-
"i've been crowned, the king
of it and it is all we have so
