lyrics

Put That Bronze

Red delicious for my baby,
Bed delicious for my body.
If you keep givin me that eye boy,
It's been a long, long time.
Open mouth and climb inside,
The life in his eyes is the life in mine
(You don't mind me saying that huh?)
The life in his eyes is the life in mine.

I was just slinkin’ down the street
in the jungle summertime.
Just thinkin about my life,
can't believe that I'm still alive.
After all those nights of
bloodied hands and banished eyes;
Those five o'clock shadows
against them three o'clock thighs.

Blackfoot sky will open wide
'till you feel the fear in thunder;
Sweet little candy have pity on faith,
How hard it must be to know only one way.
Pure jellybean prayer for the apple core of my eye,
Got a red delicious for my baby,
Bed delicious for my body.

I was just slinkin on down the street
in the jungle summertime
Jus' a thinkin about my life
can't believe that I'm still alive.
After all those nights of bloodied hands
and banished eyes--mannish cries, manic highs, and Spanish sighs;
Those five o'clock shadows against them three o'clock thighs

Go 'hed and put that.... (in) bronze
