Up, Down, Sideways and Strange

Up down sideways and strange!

Deep in the desert
Riddlin' the sphinx
I’d stay forever
But it isn’t what she thinks
(Don’t say nothing)
(Don’t say nothing)

Here in the desert
Living is cheap
Cross on a mountain
And the lion there asleep
(We could take him)
(Missy rude awake him)

You should have known it
It never ends!
Big black clouds here for you
And all your friends
God send some shelter from the rains

Up down sideways and strange!

They’ll take your issue
Offer them game
Mark up the young ones
As they barter off the lame
(Imperfection)
(What a sad reflection)

Untie the harness
Set ‘em all free
K-keep the ashes of the flowers
They’re from me
(And those who laugh)
(Can kiss my ass)
First to last

Into position
Get with the system
Dealing favours in a debtor’s prison my son
No word no luck no change

Up down sideways and strange!

In this existence
Gotta seek assistance
With something toxic
Coming at us from a distance
So I get get high
Look her in the eye

Tell her a well-told lie
Into the subway
Down to the train
Can’t say what it is
Brings us here again
(Escape a breadline)
(Partake a mainline)
(Disgrace a bloodline)
Hand on the mic is mine
Excuse the violence as evidence of age
You better feel it coming at you from the stage
Outrageous
Out of range (Up down)

Up down sideways and strange!
(Up down sideways strange, up down sideways strange...)
Up down sideways and strange!
Up down sideways and strange!
