Shrine
Willjoy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you're going to need is yelling to be embedded down
What you're going to see that through my teeth I'm gonna lie
What's good to me I get to pat my own behind
It's clear to me I should be now able to fly
You can't cut my feathers like a piece of pie
I'm gonna see now to my drink that cost a dime
I'll smoke my feathers till I feel I'm getting highI'll take a pill I wanna chill to past the time
I'll numb the pain and make it rain on the divine
Passing on a bill that's getting me to cut in line
I'm in my prime I'm feeling fine the world is mine
Oh lord of mine
Throw me a sign
And pour me wine
Double time until I get the tunnel eye
Until I find the road that leads right to your shrine
I'll make it sleek I'll make it shine
I don't know how but I'm seemingly now just tumbling down
Boy little who flew so little he knew, new new ne new
Oh lord of mine throw me a sign that you're around
I keep rising, rising higher until I'm coming down
I'll take a pill I wanna chill to past the time
I'll numb the pain and make it rain on the divine
Passing on a bill that's getting me to cut in line
I'm in my prime and feeling fine the world is mine
Oh lord of mine
Throw me a sign
And pour me wine
Double time until I get the tunnel eye
Until I find the road that leads right to your shrine
I'll make it sleek I'll make it shine
