lyrics

Sometimes the shakes can overtake my body
Sometimes I feel like such a bad man
I didn't mind all the ugly things that she was saying
When she's putting on that smile so graciously

Please could you help me out with a little money
Please tell me what's that you're holding in your hand
I believe that somebody might be dying
and all these little things you'll never understand
Never Never

I got held up at the station
No I took the wrong color pills
missing that clean and sober feeling
I was alone. I took a ride. I didn't know you. I didn't know you then

But I see
How it's gonna be
I'm gonna be your devotee
and I'm pulling off that smile
so unceremoniously

so how many times is she gonna have to call Bobby
and how many times am I gonna have to wash my hands
Those satellites are up there everywhere watching.
Just circling me all the time
All the things I do
All the things I did
And I feel them up there. I feel

The feverish anticipation
The seconds stretch until they break
Arrythmic atrial fribulations
and that mumble deep down in my chest, it can't be heard. it can't be decifered.

Still it's gonna see
How it's gonna be
Can I be your detainee
Let me be your detainee
and you're putting on that smile so graciously.

The Gomorrans Oakland, California

Catharsis is a religious experience. Sin is universal. The Gomorrans seek to blend the two into a transcendent soul happening. Seeing the them is like smoking a $50 cigar that's sealed with the sweat from a Cuban woman's inner thigh, or freebasing powdered absinthe: you'll never be quite the same person. You'll know something the others don't. The Gomorrans tarnish your soul, but in a good way. ... more
