The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave Lyrics

There's a time to fuck and a time to crave,
But the Shah sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave!
There's a time to shit and a time for God,
The last shit that I took was pretty fuckin' odd!
There's a time for drugs and a time to be sane,
Jimi Hendrix makes love to Marilyn's remains!
There's a time to live and a time to die,
I smoke Elvis Presley's toenails when I wanna get high!
There's a time to fuck and a time to crave,
But the Shah sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave!

:shut up:

Don't look back at me, I see you trembling
You look like shit
I am the ultimate god
God is second to me
I'm number one motherfucker
don't even look back, don't even look upon me with your naked eyes!

:shut up:

"There's a time to shit and a time for God, The last shit that I took was pretty fuckin' odd!"

Easily the best line ever produced by a musician.

I especially like how the entire end of the song is one of Gibby's characteristic LSD and alcohol-induced psychotic episodes.

It's one thing to read about how his entire personality was pretty much one big drug-addled psychotic break with reality, but to hear it in person is a real treat :-P
