Jewels For Sophia

I got a flashlight in my pocket

And it goes right through the socket

Of a dead man's strum my thumb so numb

And I'm gripping on the handle of a Roman septic candle

And I can't let go or I'll fall into the dark

But in my other hand gripped tight

In the fingers of the night I got

Jewels for Sophia

Jewels for Sophia

I been basted, really wasted

Chock full o' nuts and ifs and buts

It tasted great, shade, but I got another mouthful of desire

I got Lucas fruits, zoons, Barney, Pat Pat Saturday

Call in one for Nixon and another one for Stipe

This may read like a fax

But in the hand I never relax I got

Jewels for Sophia

Jewels for Sophia

Oh Lord I just amalgamated saturated clams

Dig Rex in tunnels with gerbils in your annex

I got Lord fluff ginger silicone pusscat

Never make a bad one out of all the stuff I weave

But up my sleeve, yeah, up my sleeve I got

Jewels for Sophia

Jewels for Sophia

Jewels for Sophia

Sophia shine on, shine on Sophia

Sophia shine on, shine on Sophia

See, I bring you colored ones

Yeah, I bring you colored ones

Onion glove, my kind of peelers

I feel as if a drain has opened in this world

That sucks out all the guilt and leaves fresh air

And free health care and good hair days

And an amazing pair of lips

That sucks your pips into infinity, pops, and so I gots

Jewels for Sophia

Jewels for Sophia

Jewels for Sophia

Jewels for Sophia

Jewels

That sucks out all the shit and leaves fresh air
