Promised Land

You seen me running away
Around midnight that one day
Im sorry i couldnt stay
The night called, it was time to play

It was storming outside
someone must have died
that is probably why i cried
I was overcome with fear inside

I ran down the street
running so hard in my bare feet
I saw a man in an alley getting beat
Was a cruel and unusual treat

A streetlght blew above my head
A man was on the corner...right up ahead
My heart dropped and was filled with dread
My feet got heavy as if filled with lead

He said his life was about to expire
I told the man "it is you i admire"
He pulled out a match and yelled "LIAR"
As he lit himself on fire

I began to run once more
My body was so utterly sore
I passed a local street whore
Who flashed her tits and asked if i wanted to see more

I was in a lot of pain
My barefeet splashin in the rain
My life was anything but plain
Wait a sec, let me explain

My mind is an expression
An utter act of transgression
No point in making a confession
Because anyone i meet gets the impression

My actions are chaotic
My mind is psychotic
My words are hypnotic
And the meaning of all this is symbolic

So sit there like that all bound
All gagged up so as to make no sound
But you better not turn yourself around
If you do you'll see your burial ground

I know that you dont understand
So here, i hold out my hand
This is it, here i make a stand,
Come with me, to the sinister promise land
