Sage Francis - Hang Time (Bang Bang Boogie) lyrics

Bang, bang, boogie Up jumps the party I know your name And the hours that you operate are grave Yard, Shift my body weight out the gates He came Like a thief in the night This hell hounded off his leash Teeth clenched tight You might know my face Not the expression that it's left in When I taste A loved one's blood, my forked tongue Makes y'all protect your next of kin Take it like pain k**ers Spill the pills and medicine right down the drain Flush the evidence Then claim your innocence b**h, this just isn't their game In fact their rules don't apply here It's a shame that you're going to die here Underneath my thumb print All over some dumb sh** Run quick 'cause You're about to get your punk a** beat in public Like bang, bang Bang, bang, boogie He beat down her door With an alibi full of childhood I k**ed time While it stood still for her Moments must have adjusted accordingly But on his watch The minutes were fast, giving him whiplash Beat by the hands of my clock Lots can happen in an hour For some days don't fly by They make a crash landing I flee by night and only return for emergencies Just so I can listen to the ambulance sing Sirens rang The colors of the flashing lights Painted the town red in the blackest of nights So I will not taint beauty In the ugliest of moments Its that strange side of a poet I'm writing you out of my will to live and let live And to give you some perspective I'm a changed man in that respect You best get professional detectives and motion detectors To protect your relatives That's as much warning as your a** will get I hold my aim This is an invite To my domain Pick me up while I hitchhike On memory lane Sit tight while I backseat drive you insane And beat your brains until you see nothing but pitch white And keep you breathing just long enough to have you explain what its like And how you like it Convince me I want to believe I want to believe that you bleed I want to believe that you're bleeding Just as much as she did I'll experiment with your life Until I find it's f**ing meaning You will hang, hang Bang, bang, boogie She beat back her attackers With a childhood full of alibis As I understood She had to lie The battle cries must have adjusted accordingly Her stopped calls for help never were answered back And for that beat by the hands of my clock Lots can happen in a matter of seconds Ask for a repentance from a looking gla** Self shattered reflections Before you blame your anger on adolescence Listen to the symphony of ambulances sing So beautiful So nice Tell me where were you last night? As usual You lied Tell me where the f** you hide It goes bang, bang, boogie Up jumps the party I always notice when she has new marks on her body
