lyrics

Beads of sweat run down the hourglass
Time is runnin’ out from behind these prison bars
I signed regicide and I stamped it with my name
Bein’ free is bein’ King but I signed it anyway

And now I’m locked behind two walls and lace runs up her leg
Her dress is creeping up her thigh and up over her head

Grab the ravens like grabbin’ runnin’ sand
Slippin’ through your fingers and its rainin’ red sedans
Her eminence supported on her heels
Six inches above the ground and coke under her nails

Crawling all along the ground in leather instead of cotton
Black strap lass and drippin’ in satin, the kinda girl who’d wear a black dress to a wedding

with the gentle & intimate.
