Under The Influence - Citizen King

now out past the cast of boredom cards get 
dealt i sift and sort them table rooftops 
coming down wooden nickels lost and 
found apple pie i?m eating cake now 
coming to the table late now juke joint fights 
and diamond lights immune to poision ivy 
snake bites batteries from start to chuck got 
the outer limits voodoo luck stand by on a 
highball holiday served fresh from a plastic 
tray i?ve been around and up and down 
overboard when ship came down out of 
mind and sight in the strobophonic light i?m 
under the influence tonight on the concrete 
on the glass beyond the neon green bus 
pass nowhere fast is where i?m going like a 
crack that's slowly leaking juice on the floor 
do a little less i take a little more time day to 
day and eye to eye when these walls 
become alive the sparkle helmet spins 
around midnight streak in a twist top town 
crystal clear through amber glasses bad with 
names but worse with faces zig zag 
wandering on the curve transparent mason 
dixon curves i've got more nerve than a tiki 
torch in a quiet storm so i'm searchin for the 
third kind blast off and cut the cord
