From Jonestown to the Cozonostra

by Johnny Crimson

We could compete in climax showdowns.
Some peace we make with our minds.
With god blowing us to the surface
the devils got his feet on the ground.

Something i forget then remember
a small little piece of a clue.
I talk to much when it matters
you know my name and that's fine.

A funeral to pass a long summer.
A wedding takes place underground.
The distance between our bodies
measured by breadcrumbs in the night.

The snake falls from towers above here.
The goddess meets death with the news.
A single symbolic light gesture.
The stroke of a cheek,the beginning of something new.

Legend but I forgot the origin
An epic with nothing to prove
She twists away in the darkness.
A candle would prove her a prude.

From Jonestown jungles of winter.
to the Cozonostra weddings in rain.
I'll take Italian over Kool-Aid.
A cyanide summer, a mix that we can't explain.

A lions teeth through her armor.
Her pride lay down in the sand.
Avid admirers wanted.
A hotel room screams in the night.
