SOMETIMES THE WIZARD WILL JUST GIVE YOU DONKEY BRAINS IF YOU'RE NOT SPECIFIC WITH YOUR REQUEST
Track #12 on Immortality Snake Oil
Lyrics:
You knelt at the altar with tongue-tied desire
Mumbled your cravings through smoked liquid fire
No details no edges just soft blurry pleas
A wishlist of whispers that bends at the knees
The wizard leaned in grinning through his teeth
Eyes like black mirrors reflecting your grief
He granted exactly the shape of your void
Vague enough dreams get precisely destroyed
Sometimes the wizard will just give you donkey brains
If you're not specific with your request
He'll hand you the gift wrapped in beautiful chains
A mind made of straw and a heart built to wrench
You asked for a brain when your mind tested absent
The yellow brick road led you right back to Kansas
You wished for a kingdom got four walls of straw
A crown made of echoes that nobody saw
Demanded forever he gave you one night
A love that dissolves in the morning's first light
Begged to be fearless he stripped off your skin
Now courage is something you fake from within
Monkey's paw's got your back always wishing you well
Take the bloody red road's escalator to hell
Sometimes the wizard will just give you donkey brains
If you're not specific with your request
He'll hand you the gift wrapped in beautiful chains
A mind made of straw and a heart built to wrench
You asked for a brain when your mind tested absent
The yellow brick road led you right back to Kansas
He's not cruel he's literal you cast the spell
Showed up half-assed wishing got half-assed hell
Close enough thinking digs hooves in your grave
Lazy limp dick prayers are two sided blades
Spellcheck your thoughts before thinking out loud
Your words write the laws while your destiny drowns
Sometimes the wizard will just give you donkey brains
If you're not specific with your request
He'll hand you the gift wrapped in beautiful chains
A mind made of straw and a heart built to wrench
You asked for the world but you mumbled the terms
Now chew on your words while eternity learns
Sometimes the wizard will just give you donkey brains
If you're not specific with your request
Next time write it in blood idiot spell it out plain
Ask the West's Wicked Witch if she needs a new petmore
