Lyric discussion by Socodax 

Cover art for Gold Fronts lyrics by Portugal. The Man

Some changes to the above lyrics, as I hear 'em. You be the judge.

The son went down and spoke with the last lips... They spoke of hell and things they knew they'd never miss Bridge shelter 'round the cold creek bed Breaks backs and leads eyes down Faces drag against the dirt and ears shiver in this muddy sound Where the white waves roll just once a year Arms feed the hatchet with an African appetite Matched machetes, sparkle shine Shape the small-scale guillotine

I've been getting pretty sleeping in these boxes The blackened mule faces outside my door Shouting, shouting (x2)

Oooohhh

The club met the seal and the seal met the dog It carried the man to the end of the trail Where they, walked down the street Pavement black beneath their feet I've had a little trouble with these black glass lungs I'm dealing with the man with the gold tooth grin

I've been getting pretty sleeping in these boxes The blackened mule faces outside my door Shouting, shouting (x2)

Oooohhh

I've been getting pretty sleeping in these boxes The blackened mule faces outside my door Shouting, shouting (x2)

Oooohhh

On a literal sense, BlackGhost might have it, but Sk8terpunk seems to get the metaphor behind it all.
