"Ali Baba"

*Violent J*
(while saying the following backwards
"apocolypse, Kadesh, the judge
Kadesh, Egypt, carnival, the pyramids
Stonehenge, this is Stonehenge")
*Marz*
this is the lord of the gods
this is the lord of the universe
this is the hero, the wind sphere
this is he right here, right here
having the voice to his commandments
the lord of Offin
king, ruler, and helper
hear me now, make our spirit subject onto me

*Shaggy 2 Dope*
venomous snakes magically charmed
all of this appear with the wave of a wand
pharaohs eternally rest in they tomb
hexes unleash and allow doom to consume
nomads wander, where do they go?
scholars go insane
*yelling in background*
at the minds to juggalos
sand grain burns when the sun beats down
skin rots more as the earth spins around

*Marz*
i get visions and flashbacks of me on horseback
dressed in black, a severed head on my lap
lips and assholes hangin' from my ear lobes
a sack filled up with slashed out pussy holes
we roll
*All*
Dark Lotus
*Marz*
that increase the control
powerful forces creepin' through my black soul
the blood and screams of hieroglyphic dreams
the tragedy that I bring will set you free

%Chorus starts% (repeat twice)
*All*
God have Gamesh
*Violent J*
shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh
*The Monoxide Child*
ban
*Shaggy 2 Dope*
laugh
*Unknown*
cuppen urges
*Violent J*
known by the lips of the seven churches
%Chorus ends%

*Violent J*
float down a magic carpet with a fat sword
it's Joe Bruce of the Lotus ward
*backwards "Violent J"*
you can try too rub my lamp
I might float out and spike your ass like Vamp'
I bow to the pyramid, I do confide
the secrects of the carnival are deep inside
disrespected, foolish, hokus pokus
I'll split your forehead and plant my lotus
you don't know what this killer's all about
I might severe your head and fuck your mouth
bells and chimes ring seventeen times
faceless souls act out like mimes
pegasus cry as gargolyes take eye balls from heads
like skinless grapes
even kings will fall to they knees and end up only knowin' one word
see

%Chorus starts% (repeat twice)
*All*
God have Gamesh
*Violent J*
shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh
*The Monoxide Child*
ban
*Shaggy 2 Dope*
laugh
*Unknown*
cuppen urges
*Violent J*
known by the lips of the seven churches
%Chorus ends%

*The Monoxide Child*
come with me to the legendary land of Ali Baba
a place of genies and flyin' covers
would you wish for a rub a lamp?
take a chance in the land where the genies and the gypsies dance
magical realms are held high, visions of witches
now I can seem them all dyin' cause the vision is vicious
I'm a warlock wand waver, vagibond
have ya talkin' backwards, Ali Ba...
(*backwards* "ali baba")

*Jamie Madrox*
Ali Balibaba
frog legs
eyes of a cat
teeth of a pirahna
scale of a fish
a dream of a wish
sight beyond sight you'll never picture this
talk in reverse and it shall appear
standin' infront of you with a smile ear to ear
summoned, called upon
from world to world
and now he leavin' with the souls of the boys and girls

*Blaze Ya Dead Homie*
welcome to the dead waste land
children of the damned
demon throw me out a sector searchin' out the doubtafession
black magician, falling christian, warlock
wang wishes, anything that I imagine
freakin' you without ammition
callin' Ali Baba
*All*
help me with the savior
*Blaze Ya Dead Homie*
pray to the father
*All*
with words that he will save ya
*Blaze Ya Dead Homie*
now ya left to burn forever
all the demons crowd together
tear ya body limb from limb, only demons call upon him

%Chorus starts% (repeat four times)
*All*
God have Gamesh
*Violent J*
shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh
*The Monoxide Child*

*Shaggy 2 Dope*
