Billy Woods – Marlow lyrics

[Intro]
The simplest story, and, if you stay home and watch this on television, uh, you'll s-, it'll be told again and again and again and nobody, every, ever-, nobody ever gets tired of this story. I call it "Man in a Hole", but it needn't be about a man in a hole. Somebody gets into trouble, gets out of it again
Ah, ha ha

[Hook: billy woods]
World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way
World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way
World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way

[Verse 1: billy woods]
Colors fade and bleed, a carousel in grey
New Years Day in Maine, week before work, you rang
Wonderin' the nerve it take to lay under lurchin' waves
Leapin' and crazed, spittle sprayed
The preacher overstayed the pulpit
We shoulda stayed a caged wailin' at the sepulchre
The hunted draws vultures, a sea of mea culpas
Tidal-ed out the culture, crawled inside
Skin walkin', they cast me out the tribe
You caught the freedom party, I caught a vibe
Amidst the revelry, Black Orpheus caught [?]
They killed it just to see it die
Don't believe they lies

[?] naggin' pain in my side
Laugh in yiddish, thinkin' get ya English
Grimace, hunchbacked to the canvas Gregor Samsa in the bed
Family's wishin' this ugly business was finished
But you laughin' instead, you got plenty of meds
You orderin' movies with the spiney legs splayed, antennas spread Blind eyes twistin' out ya head
And the smell of rotten apples

[Hook: billy woods]
World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way
World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way
World gettin' warmer, we goin' the other way
