He said, It's like the grass that grows between the cracks of ghetto streets, relentless inspite of the neverlasting, I said baby dam you got lyrics, make it like poetry! [Verse] The thugged out pimped out imagines release them save those roles for the young souls who believe them I want the undefineable, indescribleable and more, but yet so clear when you walk through that door, I said I want it hard, mystical, tender and correct without expectations but all of that met. Take me around the world, but please come direct, speak to me, speak to my heart [Chorus] Make it like poetry, make it like poetry, poetry, poetr

Cheepnis.
Let me tell you something, do you like monster movies?
Anybody?
(YEAH!)
I love monster movies, I simply adore monster movies, And the cheaper they are, the better they are. And cheepnis in the case of a monster movie has nothing to do with the budget of the film, although it helps. But true cheepnis is exemplified by visible nylon strings attached to the jaw of a giant spider. I'll tell you, a good one that I saw one time, I think the name of the film was "It conquered the world" (YEAH!) And the... Did you ever see that one? The monster looks sort of like an inverted ice-cream corn with teeth around the bottom. It looks like a, like a teepee or a sort of a rounded off pup-tent affair. And ah, it's got fangs on the base of it, I don't know why but it's a very threatening sight. And
W Objecia Smierci Lyrics
[bonus track: Polish version of "Into Death's Arms"] ...... Death is part of life And life is part of death Here on ancient tumulus Of our ancestors May our awareness, will and spirit Join the past and the future Of our blood and folk To reach roots of our strength And restore ancient glory... Here among tumulus and stone circles Our fate is bound Our heritage and spiritual identity Hidden deep in the earth Reach hidden heritage And restore ancient Power and glory... ......
then he's got a frown and, you know, ugly mouth and everything, And there's this one scene where the ah monster is coming out of a cave. See? There's always a scene where they come out of a cave, at least once. And the rest of the cast...it musta been made around the 1950's. The lapels are about like th[bonus track: Polish version of "Into Death's Arms"] ......

at wide, The ties are about that wide and about this short, And they always have a little revolver that they're gonna shoot the monster with. And there is always a girl who falls down and twists her ankle. Hey hey! Of course there is! You know how they are, the weaker sex and everything, Twisting their ankle on behalf of a little ice-cream corn. Well in this particular scene, In this scene folks, they ah, they didn't wanna re-take it 'cause it musta been so good they wanted to keep it, but they... When the monster came out of the cave, just over on the left hand side of the screen you can see about this much two-by-four attached to the bottom of the Thing as the guy is pushing it out, And then obviously off-camera somebody's goin': "No! Get it back!" ...and they drag it back just a little bit as the guy is goin': "KCH! KCH!" Now that's cheepnis.
Right. And this is cheepnis here: One two three four...
I ate a hot dog
It tasted real good

In The Cathedral Lyrics
Sinful rain bathing this narrow square soaking my vein, infolding my stare Yes, they are goading me... as if shame will survive me An old woman's knees kissing the tiles spirits lie broken, salvation is ice Little by little, darkness is spreading I've lost all ny bearings, need some accomplice My behaviour is cursed, I drown in this dirt days once composed on the alert drowning in guilt, drowning in dirt... and still insight is far away In the cathedral, peeling my fear, in the cathedral, dirt even here athirst for comprehension, my soul can't stop it's depredation ...as if shame will survive me
rom Hollywood Sinful rain bathing this narrow square soaking my vein, infolding my stare Yes, they are goading me... as if shame will survive me An old woman's knees kissing the tiles spirits lie broken, salvation is ice Little by little, darkness is spreading I've lost all ny bearings, need some accomplice My behaviour is cursed, I drown in this dirt days once composed on the alert drowning in guilt, drowning in dirt... and still insight is far away In the cathedral, peeling my fear, in the cathedral, dirt even here athirst for comprehension, my soul can't stop it's depredation ...as if shame will survive me

Little Miss Muffett on a squat by me
Took a turn around, I said: Can y'all see?
The little strings on the Giant Spider?"
The Zipper From The Black Lagoon?
The vents by the tanks where the bubbles go up?
(And the flaps on the side of the moon)
The jelly & paint on the 40 watt bulb
They use when the slime droozle off
The rumples & the wrinkles in the cardboard rock
And the canvas of the cave is too soft
The suits & the hats & the tie's too wide
And too short for the scientist man
The chemistry lady with the roll-away mind
And the monster just ate Japan
Ladies and gentlemen,
The monster,
Which the peasants in this area call FRUNOBULAX
(Apparently a very large poodle dog)
Has just been seen approaching The Power Plant
Bullets can't stop it
Rockets can't stop it
We may have to use NUCLEAR FORCE!
HERE COMES THAT POODLE DOG!
BIG AS A BLIMP WITH A RHINESTONE COLLAR
SNAPPIN' OFF THE TREES
LIKE THEY WAS BONSAI'D ORNAMENTS ON A
DRY-WOBBLE LANDSCAPE
KEEP IT AWAY! DON'T LET THE POODLE BITE ME!
WE CAN'T LET IT REPRODUCE! OH!
SOMEBODY GET OUT THE PANTS!
The National Guard has formed up at the base
Man Of Conviction Lyrics
God bless here's a man of conviction With evidence enough to convict him so he stands by the Side of the victim has strength enough to forgive him Hopefully nobody saw him hopefully nobody saw him The means justified by the ending sinner and saint for defending The bastard by him that is bleeding throws salt in the wounds of the needy the blood from the Cut that is seething he gasps for the air we are breathing Hopefully nobody saw him, hopefully nobody saw him The means justified by the ending, sinner and saint for defending Our hero is gone God bless here's a man of conviction

of the mountain
And is attempting to lure the enormous poodle
towards the cave
Where they hope to destroy it with napalm
A thousand of the troopers are now lined up
and are calling to the monster...
Here Fido
Here Fido
Here Fido
GOT A GREAT BIG SLIMEY THING
GOT A GREAT BIG HEAVY THING

C'mon! Everybody! Let's go!
Get the distilled water! Get the canned goods!
Get the toilet paper! You know we need it!
GO TO DA SHELTER
MY BABY, MY BABY,
GO TO DA SHELTER
GO TO DA SHELTER

Little Miss Muffett on a squat by me,
Can ya see the little string danglin' down
Makes the legs go wabble an' the mouth flop shut
An' the HORRIBLE EYE, HORRIBLE EYE, HORRIBLE EYE
Go rollin' around
Can y'see it all
Can y'see it from here
Can y'laugh till yer weak on yer knees
If you can't, I'm sorry `cause that's
all I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis please
Baby, I'm sorry `cause it's all I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis please
Baby, I'm sorry `cause it's all I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis please
