lyrics

when the dam gave way in north l.a.
there were people crying on the silver screen
semi-nightly, parents fighting
then it's christmas eve, and i'm thirteen
in the alley frightened animals
huddle round and spill their souls
in swirling mixtures, hidden pictures
poisonous, mechanical

you opt for the life of a slave
draw pictures on the walls of the caves
lay down your arms, i don't mean you any harm
the sun rises and sets again on the grave

cancerous this malady eats its way through you and me
getting thinner, every winter, physical comedy
craven monsters in the shadows preying on our piety
when you hear shouting after midnight, you'll come to strike a deal with me

you'll opt for the life of a slave
draw pictures on the walls of the cave
fall from my arms, i don't mean you any harm
the sun rises and sets again on the grave
