Mountaintops - Shemp

Hard men were sold down the river Styx

For cold bones of women they walked with

Another rebel reveled in the dark

Stole self from tomb, looked back towards doom

My friends were sold down the river Styx

On the river, on the river I walked

With another rebel, another rebel of the flesh and blood

The word came out not boy or girl

I’m just an infamous spy of the other kind

I wonder what happens on the inside

We’re just a couple of guys

Take turn off each other’s rides

I speculate of world’s behind-

My letter for years remains covered in dust to Men and woman of the world

Take hold of my girls

I’ve got so many fucking girls

They’ve all got brown hair, light eyes, a big smile, real cheeks

They look so good with their pants and accessories.

I walked out to say, «You're next to me»

And if I was a golden boy then I’d be just another toy

For the one who’s gone across the coast and not an ocean that I can boast

I watched the videos;

I’ve watched the tapes

But still I can’t play, play, play the game

I looked at you, you looked at me too

We both thought that maybe it would work out in the end

I looked at you, I looked at me too

I’m gone

I’m gone, I walk out the door

They call his eyes a number

I call this a chance to fumble

As skins touch artificially

In the mind I see just sheets

A mind can only follow and I’m not in control

So I send regards, goodbye

Do you need more to know?

When I walked out of the cave I had 12 million followers

They followed me, followed me I didn’t watch and they didn’t respond, so I turned a cheek and sighed

They didn’t look on, no one looks on Expectation’s demise, but there were real tears in their eyes

Real, real tears in their eyes, I swear

Through the glass, their shape stayed the same

A pose frozen and it was beautiful even if it wasn’t real

No shadows go, if there’s no light

You find the figures are fake

You need some air

I know, I know

Walking out still not here

So it’s a long walk, it’s true

Rickety course

It’s a walk out from your house

Destruction of the home

Could it be what I perceive?

I burned down

Still won’t stand down (2x)

Still won’t stand down

Stand down (2x)
