Lyrics:
I got a flashlight in my pocket And it goes right through the socket Of a dead man's strum my thumb so numb And I'm gripping on the handle of a Roman septic candle And I can't let go or I'll fall into the dark But in my other hand gripped tight In the fingers of the night I got Jewels for Sophia Jewels for Sophia I been basted, really wasted Chock full o' nuts and ifs and buts It tasted great, shade, but I got another mouthful of desire I got Lucas fruits, zoons, Barney, Pat Pat Saturday Call in one for Nixon and another one for Stipe This may read like a fax But in the hand I never relax I got Jewels for Sophia Jewels for Sophia Oh Lord I just amalgamated saturated clams Dig Rex in tunnels with gerbils in your annex I got Lord fluff ginger silicone pusscat Never make a bad one out of all the stuff I weave But up my sleeve, yeah, up my sleeve I got Jewels for Sophia Jewels for Sophia Jewels for Sophia Sophia shine on, shine on Sophia Sophia shine on, shine on Sophia See, I bring you colored ones Yeah, I bring you colored ones Onion glove, my kind of peelers I feel as if a drain has opened in this world That sucks out all the guilt and leaves fresh air And free health care and good hair days And an amazing pair of lips That sucks your pips into infinity, pops, and so I gots Jewels for Sophia Jewels for Sophia Jewels for Sophia Jewels for Sophia Jewels (hidden track -- Mr. Tongs: Hello, you've reached Goodfellas, Martin Scorsese's classic Tale of Italian-American manhood starring Ray Liotta, Bob Deniro, and Joe Pesci. Unfortunately, we're all busting Each other's [noise] at the moment. You've got to find your way around me And everywhere you look Ahh, little priestess, are you ready for Mister Tongs? Well, I sure hope so Matter directs itself Inch by frozen inch Toward the plinth The benchmark so tidy With feet all sewn up in their heads Hoot hoot Curling whistle blow Remember the Memsahib With a sack that burned himself out Automatically toward your house I could kiss your tree now If you said your branches would bend Hoot hoot Curling whistle blow Every sound I make is mine But you have to leave the time out For the funnel of dreams Marking your own time together When I could kiss your one or two of them Bend like that And snap I said worm away each evening With your jewels and your finks And all your friends Do you think that it counts? Of course my dear, everything counts But everything must be aborted eventually And then you are left with the stones You've got to find your way around me Oh, little priestess are you ready for Mister Tongs? And his friends? Hoot hoot Hoot hoot Hoot hoot Sometimes, Leslie I can't believe your grasp of the bicycle) (hidden track -- Don't Talk to Me About Gene Hackman: I'll have a warm bath I'll have a bottle of wine I'll put myself to bed And I'll feel just fine But don't talk to me about Gene Hackman He's got an evil grin He's got curly hair And every time he smiles It means trouble somewhere So don't talk to me about Gene Hackman He's in every film Sometimes wearing a towel And if it isn't him You get Andie Macdowell So don't talk to me about Gene Hackman Don't talk to me at all Don't say hello You could be Gene himself for all I know In Unforgiven He was totally mean But when he got his I really felt for Gene But don't talk to me about Gene Hackman I'll have a cold shower I'll have a bottle of pop I'll get a dog named Laszlo From a Laszlo shop But don't talk to me about G-E-N-E H-A-C-K-M-A-N Gene Hackman)
