G.R.R.L. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gorilla warfare British armed forces
Cowboy we ride out on horses
Jedi mind I know where the force is
Intelligent wanna know where my source is
No remorse I'll take your soul of course
Sunken place I'm gonna numb your face
With this Novocaine I'm gonna open my brain
And remove the pain
I'm I Psycho or insane feeling so low on a high
Jacked plane
You can sit down never mind that stain
Gorilla glue you know I like that strain
You better tiptoe when I reload
Aiming for the skull
Boy better know I move grimy got my
Dopp3lgang society
Right behind me
I am what you seek so come and find me
So much pain still stuck inside me
Don't wanna release the beast
I wanna keep the peace
Take your tongue
And knock out your teeth your the walking dead
I'm what lies beneath
I'm about to branch out you should take a leaf

If you only knew what I know you could see the
Truth with your eyes closed
I've been starched though that black hole
And came out the other side as Dopp3l

Grinning while I'm sinning
Got me feeling like the joker
Your dealing with a straight face call me poker
Wild with the twist got you moving like soca
I pop up like I was sat up in a toaster
Heavy like heavy metal
Bang my head never settle
Love me pic a petal
Sippin detto
Gas mask on my face like a freckle
Have a cup of tea
Smoke trees till we look Vietnamese

If you only knew what I know you could see the
Truth with your eyes closed
I've been starched though that black hole and
Came out the other side as Dopp3l
If you only knew what I know you could see the
Truth with your eyes closed
I've been starched though that black hole and
Came out the other side as Dopp3l

Look close its all an illusion
I can understand the confusion
Just hopped off a train in Euston
Ready to overthrow that's my solution
All in my got nothing on my pinky aim for the
Head make sure you don't miss me
Don't trust anybody looking all Squinty
Fuckin up my throat cos I smoke like a chimney
Stay away coz the shit that I say won't fade
Away
Your saying that you can
But just wanna spray
I'm feeling rapped up wanna brake away
Hanging on a lifeline think I lost my hairline
Sticking to the guideline
Ready when it's my time
Fellin the heat no sunshine
Floating through the cosmos
Fellin then heat no sunshine
Floating through the cosmos
Tell em I'm ready it's my time I'm coming in with
Combo's
Fellin the heat no sunshine
Floating through the cosmos
Tell em I'm ready it's my time I'm coming in with
Combo's
Would it be a lifetime before I get mine got me
Hanging on
A lifeline for the ninth time got me thinking bout
The pass times all the good times
Floating though the cosmos like a star sign
Shout out to my demons creepin
Its midday there ain't no point sneaking




Third eye there ain't no point peeking
One of the best there aint no competing

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
I saw this, at Riverside Park, in Agawam, MA, in the early 1970's, under a big tent. Think i was around 4, or 5.

Grandpa and I were the only ones interested. I was sat, on his shoulders. When she 'broke out of the cage', everyone screamed and scattered, but my grandfather didnt move!!!

I remember spurring him, like a horse. Trying to get him to run!!!

The 'gorilla woman' played it off really well. She got face-to-face with my grandfather and tilted ger head, from side to side, started sniffing the air, but never touched him then moved on, to scare those more willing.

My grandfather was my hero. 😂

@alexinmechanicsville4817

I did this when I was 15 and played the gorilla at a haunted house setup at a church in Wilmington Delaware around 1990. So much fun.
