I'd rather choose my soul to lose
Than leave around just one confused
And lose desire
Don't know if I'll ever learn
Can't wait ‘til I get my turn
To burn in the infernal hell fire

I'm waiting for my last drive
While the bugle of my backside
Blows a losing beat
Hope I don't run out of gas
Bet my sacrilegious ass
Ain't nothing down there that scares me

Oh yeah!
And you know!
I'm in league with Satan
And you know
There can't be no debatin'
My hell-bound trail
I was born with a tail!

I'm evil!
Yeah, and I run free
There's molten lead in me
So let's get the hell
Got the goods
Brother bring it on
My mother done brought me up wrong
And you can use my dick
As a walkin' stick as well

Oh yeah!
And you know!
I'm in league with Satan
And you know
There can't be no debatin'
My hell-bound trail
I was born with a tail!

It's time to fly the finger
Yeah, that middle digit brings your point
And it drives it home
On my head there's no crown of thorns
This evil scalp has earned its horns
I'm on a highflying time with your mom before I go

Oh yeah!
And you know!
I'm in league with Satan
And you know
There can't be no debatin'
My hell-bound trail
I was born with a tail!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
