The Strange Mind of Buddy Lackey

the candy cane calliope comes rushing ever slow for me the paling shades of indigo are raining from the sky the storybook chameleon smiles the dreamer stays awake awhile detune the discord violins play them long for me two tries second flies spider ties the little flies wide eyed sky spies idolized the bible lies realize they hypnotize, remoralize, dehumanize futilize, finalized the lies advise or otherwise you know your shoes, my plate the god love you only feel through hate your soul is dead, you're only living in your head these pills you taste, they drag your shadow onto your face your knees may bend, it don't matter if they bled sometime you'll find the heaven that you all left behind was all the time just a picture in your mind the thing that's sad, I mean the thing that really makes it bad is you knew it all along man, you knew it all along whispering things to the everflow the blue changing yellows that painted the sky colors the place that I want to go the slow breathing mescaline circus rows by shadows that drip through this fluidness they sink to the surfaces fluttering high from me voices tell no one about me here I sing to them slowly as they wave goodbye to me two tries second flies spider ties the little flies wide eyed sky spies idolized the bible lies realize they hypnotize, remoralize, dehumanize futilize, finalized the lies advise or otherwise you know in a pierce of light, sharp with the fragrances of the thin and tired dawn the silken and burning face of her sleeping frail picture you know . . .

would you believe what's going down inside my brain I don't believe you'd understand pay no mind to the ghetto man I know the world is cold well that ain't nothin' strange but the way you push me down well it's gettin' old and I know it's never gonna change now I'm gonna start pushing back maybe that'll make you understand you can't push down on a ghetto man I think you'd finally understand once you had to be the ghetto man it's a ghetto man well I've got more love than money and I got more hope than fame I'l like to buy the world from under you someday and leave you sleeping in the rain and eating from the drain maybe that will make you understand once you had to be the ghetto man it's a ghetto man

I ain't looking to put you down I have no reason to try it's just the strange way that the world is turning 'round as if I need a reason why five years in the underground shaping sound it's just a question of ten or two it's just a matter of time more and more with life it comes through knowing you it's just another trip of mine five years in the underground counting down five years in the underground longer now my soul is lifted above ground I think I'm learning to fly so why's it feel as if you try to hold me down when all my life that's kept me trying five years in the underground shaping sound five years in the underground counting down I know what this means to you but am I part of your dream 'cause wheels are turning and I've got to see it through though I ain't expecting nothing five years in the underground shaping sound five years in the underground counting down five years in the underground longer now over now?

remember when I came just to sing a song to you and you came up for a touch of my hand you painted on the shirt you wore words I wrote some time before words I think you didn't understand I think you didn't understand you saw that I was sinking and I couldn't reach the shore and you looked down to me with a smile you said drowning angels make pretty circles in the lake and I'd rather see you struggle for a while oh I think you didn't understand I fell from the sky with a word from the grey a kaleidoscope singer, a son of the day the ghost of the windsong a write of the play the god of tomorrow's the freak of today hey, do you want to free the butterfly well then just open up the jar the patterns on the wings have more colors in the sky oh but you can't see their beauty from so far will you open up the jar?
