Carpetbagger

[Intro: E L U C I D]

Whoa

[Verse 1: billy woods]

Olive drab army jacket linin'

That's how I ride around shinin', like the Pope

Thermals under coat, coins for the boat

Forked road, I took both

Frostbit in flurried snow

Passed towns choked with black smoke

"No water needed," said Black folk

"We seent it when them cracks showed"

Exchange pounds, lit the dro

Let it go 'round, then kept it movin' twice as fast though

(Twice as fast though)

[Verse 2: E L U C I D]

Bombed out by dawn

Long john arms furs and flannel

Hobo commando, rusty revolvers, haunted pianos

Look out below!

Splash, cold water wake-up, don't pray for us

Rose and faced the sun

Stared down through taco shell colored eyes

I and I survive, destiny or by design

Restless Canaanite, fading light, shake the dice

Rolling trip till that elevator cable popped

Weightless faith like make a wish

Hope play broken myth loopy

Polish biscuit tucked inside of a trench, goofy

[Verse 3: billy woods]

Serpentine roads, Gabardine robes

In dreams, fire rolls

Wake to cold coals, cinders, ash

Pyramids glass

Pharaohs laugh behind death mask

Panic Rooms filled with cash

Tombs pried open, smash and grab

Split the stash in sand dunes, shared sour gas

Cowards cowering as the final hour passed

No fiery lake

The crafty ape left to his fate
