Jason Vitelli - Sweet Lyrics

He sits in a chair, looking so spare
Drinking some lemonade in the moonlight air
Gazes at the blade he set upon my kin
The ground glistening their sordid end

I am calm, as I lay beside his path
With a notion to ambush a man savoring his wrath

Reverse my course, thoughts start to flood
Memory reminds me I was once so pure
Had enough steam for a million dreams
Now where can they be, where can they be?
Step beneath a fountain to wash away soot
Gathered from my escape route
But an infection resides just under my skin

Endless turmoil turns innocence gangrene
Any earnest expectations have gone to seed

Ooh
I've always been just like him with contempt for those who win
Ooh
So where do I go from here, it's my move now
Nothing else remains
Oh

But to crawl back in haste, where my enemy awaits
Dripping all over I grab him by the nape
Knifing a slice, a big happy face
Ripping flesh ear to ear all over the place
Streams of him wasted mix with the shards of glass and lemonade
And it tastes so sweet as I lie down to dream
Upon the concrete, I lie down to dream
Ain't life sweet I say as I lie down to dream
