Atmosphere (slug) Tears For The Sheep Lyrics

Tears For The Sheep Lyrics

[Verse 1: Slug]



A city of fools



I wanna bash whoever's responsible for this incomprehensible lack of passion



The sucker's been seduced down to the stick



And the peasants fill their bellies with the poisons you omit



I've come to seperate the heads and shoulders



Of these tracin' paper soldiers



That have been designated to take it over



I'ma roll a couple of boulders off the cliff



On the road below (look out below)



'Cause I don't know what I'ma hit (yeah)



I live by the word until I die by your sword



Even when I'm dead my head will live inside your RCA cords



I wait for the right time, but it resembled now-a-days



Descended on the Earth to put an end to all your holidays



The assassin covered in plain clothes



Smothered the sunlight and set flame to your rainbows



And then came the storm (and then came the storm)



Bewildered those that didn't contemplate



Fake disguised as the norm (as the norm)



And when the smoke evaporated and the damage was accessed



The casualities were counted as they looked upon the mess



As they focused their eyes on the horizon, who'da guessed?



All that stood on top the hill was number seven silhouette







[Chorus: Slug]



(And with this) head splitting tears, cement breaking



Weeping for these people walking in their sleep



(these people walking in their sleep)



My talk is not as cheap



And my thoughts are not as deep



As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep



Head splitting tears, cement breaking



Weeping for these people walking in their sleep



(these people walking in their sleep)



My talk is not as cheap



And my thoughts are not as deep



As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep







[Verse 2: Slug]



They say a picture's worth a thousand words



Well I beg a thousand pardons for each word I've used for personal games



But the letters that float through my head, that mold my sentences



Could never be contained by your simple picture frames



For every intoxicated moment, I hate life



I strive to balance my aura by dancing with the light



And sometimes it's difficult to stay quiet



I fight it, each time I find myself walking across your eyelids



Wishin' the malnutrition, the imagination of yours



Could see the truth you breathe through each one of your pores



And now the days are drastic, the nights last forever



Wanna tear this motherfucker up and put it back together



I'd like to ask the cats that act like they might hear



If you spent the energy I've spit, tryin' to count the tears



One of these days you're gonna climb the tallest building of all



Give a warning to those below and let the tears fall







[Chorus: Slug]



(And with the) head splitting tears, cement breaking



Leaping for these people walking in their sleep



(these people walking in their sleep)



My talk is not as cheap



And my thoughts are not as deep



As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheet



head splitting tears, cement breaking



Leaping for these people walking in their sleep



(these people walking in their sleep)



My talk is not as cheap



And my thoughts are not as deep



As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheet







[Brief Singing: Some Female] (2X)



Nobody sees 'cept my mirror on the wall







[Verse 3: Slug]



The damage...overseen by anyone that comprehends



The anguish...felt only by the ones that confessed



The language...was primitive, the listener complex



And everybody was trying to define success



All the self-proclaimed prophets dressed up to look like poets



Pretendin' to be martyrs that they're not



You can learn all their names



And engrain them on your brains



Memories so you can spout them off the top (spout them off the top)



Yo kill 'em all, and let God give 'em haircuts



The flood has begun, and no one has been paired up



So I'ma take a second and beckon the downfall



Of your so called civilized nation



(Yo yo yo yo yo) stop the sound now!



(Cough)
