SNAKE OIL

Pragmatism

Inherent magnetism

Propensity parade

Flag of chauvinism billows

Bleeding pallid colors

It only takes one moment

Imposing fall from grace

Satanic sacrilege

Lethal wounded pride

Delusional catharsis

He drowns in holy water

Snake oil seals the deal

Angels cry for innocence lost

Social trauma princess

Tragic phantasmagoria

Glaring lack of remorse

Solemn pledge of eternal love

Left broken on the alter

Down and out in London
Los Angeles and Paris, too, uh-huh
I drank a river in my time
To get on through, yeah

Well, the night, it rise above you, rise above me
And the blues, they swirl around me

To the heart of soul
You got to bleed a little while you sing
Lest the words don't mean nothing, no
Get to the heart of soul
Gotta get to the heart of soul,

HEART OF SOUL
