2004-01-22 - Fire Escape -- THIS WAY

I'm snoop doctor doggy drop draying

let me see now, what was I saying?

[oh yeah that's right]

something 'bout fascination

[hit it]

emin-evane-sensation

[split it]

dude, something on your play station

[quit it]

crude method of divination -- did it

ooh - you don't have to go too far to see

who you don't ever want to some day be

and you won't get a second look from me

if you think what it means to be free

is selling out for selfish fantasy

because I know that only leads to misery

let me kick this to your head fa'real

many people think they know the deal

and they fiercely hold to what they think is right

even if it means they have to spend the night

sleeping with that psycho in a bed

that is crawling with the living dead

and they squirm in slimey byproducts of sin

no, they don't assess the danger that they're in

as they stew in random broadcaster derision

with a twist of what they saw on television

their power of deduction is selective

perhaps they've gone acedemy, became defective,

the elementary persuasiveness has hooked 'm

chasing leads they've left behind -- amnesia crookdom

and when they catch the enemy (once they have booked him)

they'll wonder how that it could be -- they overlooked him

because they're lawyer, judge, jury (bailaf forsook them)

a victim of a free mis-trial

convicts of heinous denial

and once they throw the book at him

they'll realize he's really them

and then the pure white mask of suicide falls down

upon the shiny mirrored tiling on the ground

as they look and see their faces by reflection

everyone of them sees their own predilection

we cannot judge this as mere men

we cannot limit this again

let's leave the past and greet the new

we'll turn away from what they do

and we will steal away in vineyards of the dawn

a brand new highway that ascends up on and on

advancing toward the perfect pinnacle of time

the highest point to which the hallowed can climb

we'll wash away the sin of arrogance and grime

receiving all that makes existence here sublime

and we will fly above the visceral and learn

there is no sin for which we'd ever have to burn

excepting that which would refuse and make us turn

away from all that has been given and not earned

the gift delivering us from evil things that spurn

and break the laws which turn the angels' faces stern

they don't forgive such human qualities as fail

and you don't want to make those friendly spirits bail

because your soul will be bereft

the only ones that will be left

will be the demons who forgot their former state

the ones who feast upon the misery you create

and they squirm inside the innards, infestate

using you to bring beginners up to date

so don't wallow in your pride and think you're live

or a case of humilation could arrive

just to humble you and make you see the truth

you won't burn in hell for evil in your youth

nor for sins that you commit most everyday

nor for abortion, sin is sin, straight or gay,

you'll only burn if you don't take the only way

the fire escape (the words that mean just what they say)
