Slayde is my buddy, my pal, he is my brother I¡¯am one, he is the other
|
When the sun shines, he is my shadow
|
And when the moon is high, it's at his feet I¡¯lie
|
But i'll never listen to what slayde says
|
I'll never listen to what slayde says
|
Slayde's always talking, and it's rarely nice
|
He's always whispering his poisonous advice
|
He is secretive, ruthless and cold
|
He mentions just enough and leaves the rest untold
|
He said, "don't ever risk an open attack, just smile into their faces and then stab them in the back"
|
But slayde, I¡¯said, what about the weak,
|
The helpless and the small?
|
He just sneered and said, "fuck 'em all, fuck 'em all"
|
He said I¡¯am a murderer, although i've killed no one
|
You talk in puzzles slayde, I¡¯said,
|
What have you really done?
|
"I've cut the twining cord, i've shot the turtle dove, i've shut out that precious light that shines from above" Slayde, you are a poet, I¡¯said
|
But what are you truly speaking of?
|
He smiled and whispered, ?I murdered love" he smiled and whispered,
|
?I murdered love"
|
I guess I¡¯hate him, no, that's not really true
|
He's not completely bad,
|
Sometimes he'll crack a joke or two
|
I guess i've grown accustomed to his funny ways
|
It's not his fault that he was made that way
|
I hear him in my sleep, I¡¯see him in my dreams
|
I see him crouched before some terrible machine
|
And then I¡¯face a mirror and he steps in between
|
Can you tell me, what does this mean?
|
Can you tell me, what does this mean?
|
Now I¡¯lay me down to sleep and pray to god my soul to keep
|
If I¡¯should die before I¡¯wake
|
You'll know i've made my escape but there is one step i'll never take
|
I'll never listen to what a slayde says...
