Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro (x2)
---> Play Riff 1 over:
Nick: Talkin shit like shut up and listen to me Because cutting through the crap is my specialty Like a bomb I'm dropping yes a ton of lead You're trying to figure out the last thing that I said---> Play Riff 2 over:
Nick: I'm a redwood I'd love to be a tree Yes I'm a druid My words are flowing out like a fluid Never give in never conform I'll be busting out rhymes in a triplet form---> Play Riff 1 over:
SA: Dead leaves on the trees in spring Can't hear the birds sing A light powdered snow on the ground is glistening Vipers slither atop a colder ground they quiver---> Play Riff 2 over:
SA: A crack in the sky snow is falling and inside we shiver With a brownskin friend claiming kin to Crazy Horse I stink of veno my greasy clothes are rancid But I tip the bottle back the spirits are in me kid---> Play Chorus over:
Nick & SA: Firewater - Call it liquid rapture Into the flash and flames of my crazy nature Firewater - The world's a mixture Of broken liquored people get the picture Firewater - Call it liquid rapture (Nick repeating "firewater") Into the flash and flames of my crazy nature Firewater - The world's a mixture Of broken liquored people get the picture---> Play Riff 1 over:
SA (?): Whiskey be spittle at the corners of my mouth I'm rather liquored a light flickers I got the shakes and jitters I roll I'm like Raging Bull bumrushing the snow Hand to my head sway in the fire I've waded into---> Play Riff 2 over:
SA (?): All alone except the whiskey voices Whores laugh neon signs flash other choices I stagger stumble to toast the past while I mumble Slur my song slow porno show marquee words crumble---> Play Chorus over:
Nick & SA: Firewater - Call it liquid rapture Into the flash and flames of my crazy nature Firewater - The world's a mixture Of broken liquored people get the picture Firewater - Call it liquid rapture (Nick repeating "firewater") Into the flash and flames of my crazy nature Firewater - The world's a mixture Of broken liquored people get the picture---> Play Ending over:
Nick:
You're hanging around the house with all your friends steady drinking
Smokin the green weed and your head is sorta blinkin
You're going with the flow and everybody's getting plowed
And the voices and the music and the noise is getting loud
You've got a heavy buzz on when seven o clock rolls around
So you pile into the clunker and start heading downtown
Only nineteen but you know where you can get it
So you slide inside the bar and everything is hitting
By about eleven o'clock your brain is near dead
You really cant remember who was the one that said
"Let's go in the bathroom, and meet this guy Chuck
He's got a thirty dollar white powder pick-me-up."
Ten minutes later the whole vibe has changed
You try for conversation but you know you're acting strange
Your eyes are wide open but your smile is gone
You just keep fiending till the fucking break of dawn
