lyrics

Look over my shoulder
Look back at the runway
Watchin' for that cloudburst
Waitin' for that better day

I really oughta run away
"I really oughta look", he say
He took my dollar bill away
I taste a billy club today

Run to the big ship
Run from the shanty town
My skin pink as kitten's mitt
My skin pink as Brother's brown

I really felt alive today
Sweatin' on this island bay
Soakin' up the manna rays
Stumblin' through the wild waves

I'm a sweatin', fearin' Ghetto Tourist 'board this boat
---------

On the water, whales are fodder for a bloody end
Their white tails reddened by the dead-end of their last ascent
My head is swimmin' with this vision and I can't pretend it's alright

In this port-town on the low down, Brother's hand in my pocket
Sister hisses, "Mr. Heart Is Open, you better lock it"
I try to lock it - in this fake like I lock it.

On the airplane I can stare pain straight, anxiety wanes
Waxin' drunk on gin and gin and tonic bumps
Slumpin' low I catch a windowed glimpse of heaven's magic gaze

On the record he afford my soul infinity
Warped and moldy, Scratched he boldly curse my luxury
I try to rock it, on this cursed tape I rock.
We gotta lock it, in this fake like I mock, "I'm alright."
