Fox on Socks - Back Alley Tony Lyrics

People want what they can't have
People ban what they don't understand
People ravage the damage - laboratory damage
People want what they can't have
People ban what they don't understand
People need the pain to end
Back Alley Tony strikes again

Memories illicit - dangerous mystic
Business as usual - money nostalgic
Posted motto comin' into orbit
Sharp sand stung like hornets
Sleazy air compliments whore's lipstick
On the corner, a loner, flashin' somethin'
Coppin' copper like it's nothin'
Back alley archive huntin'
Trash bin takin' in
Malnutrition ridden atmosphere sin
His proposition is allurin'
Endurin' his guile and his coy smile
And his comedy co-aligns
Pat and I had a bad feelin' about this

In the sticky heat and steamy city
Ya never know; space serendipity
We followed him to his vendor
Photographs and videos; rendered
Far wall: a mural of Denver
Next to a portrait of Vader
One displaying Eagles and old regals
And porn media: Smeagle
Pictures of actors long past
Sit and ferment and recollect
Stacks upon stacks of loved ones
Smiling in the hot sun from a time long gone
Video tapes reeling claymation feelings
Seems heinous to involve this in dealings
Lockets and boxes of various mementos
Pockets protected from criminal transacto

Up at the counter the seller says
Snapshot a moment it's appraisal is a bit dull
That filter was a pain in the ass to get
It'll cost ya extra, take it or leave it
A lense's special way, in a scrapheap it lay
You think it over, I've got all day
Visual manipulation or sexual tension
The sweet ignition of optic explosion
Aesthetic anesthesia pleases ya
Rhetoric "wouldn't wanna be ya" s teases ya
Melancholic medulla longs to breath "ahh"
The film of emotion is a pipe dream
All of these things are reassuring
Change will come and injustice will be undone
But I have a job and a life to commit
The past is nonexistent unless you got the credits
