Still Life with Hot Deuce on Silver Platter Lyrics
You're going through phases -
are you some kind of man
or a moon?
Either way, these here boots
they're gonna walk
all over you
It's all true, isn't it?
There's no real altruism, kid
It's just a new set of clothes
on the same old selfishness
- cold piss!
Out, walking the street
looking for these
alleged elegant truths
It's just me
lonely me
and the other relevant dudes
arrogant enough to believe
this is developing news
I exist just as a fish
stuck with the pelican blues
- hot deuce!
Here it goes again
I hear you took it to another level
Here it goes again
[53x]
Tonight I'm crying for a baby
who's never going to be born
my authentic self was aborted
at the age of four
You know I'll always be a junkie
you see me spread across the floor
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 angels
don't come around no more
But I'm not gonna cry
I'm not gonna cry
I'm not gonna cry
thinkin' bout that baby
But I'm gonna die
die if I don't try
try to bring that man to life
But what of the classic contest,
Content versus Context?
They have a fight -
Context wins
Con men contact Content's next of kin,
saying “I'm looking for your least-feminine lesbian
we're gonna pump her so full of bovine estrogen
she won't be masculine, I'm high on mescaline
but no one knows, 'cause I shit on some Mexicans”
- Hot deuce!

1-2-3-4-5-6-7 angels, kind of a subtle nod to the six dark winged devils from the monitor? maybe.
Definitely. The original lyric on The Monitor after the dark-winged devils line was "Seven angels find me spread across the floor". This time it's "You see me spread across the floor. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 angels don't come around here no more".

There's also a reference in The Monitor about being a "fucking junkie", a sentiment echoed here as well.

I'm not sure if the last paragraph means much, but I like it it a lot.
