TTTTT here may be no golden fleece but human riches I'll release
T oh, my head is spinning like the world and it's filled with
T beasts I've seen, let me put my bag down and I'll tell you
T it all right from the start. like the scarlet woman who
T would pick on the boys she thought were green, and the
two faced man who made a hobby of breaking his wife's heart.
seems the more I travel, from the foam to gravel, as the nets
unravel, all exotic fish I find like jason and the argonauts there
may be no golden fleece but human riches I'll release.
I was in a land where men force women to hide their facial
features, and here in the west it's just the same but they're
using make-up veils. I've seen acts of every shade of terrible
crime from man-like creatures, and I've had the breadth of
liars blowing me off course in my sails. seems the more I
travel, from the foam to gravel, as the nets unravel, all
exotic fish I find like jason and the argonauts there may
be no golden fleece but human riches I'll release.
I have watched the manimals go buy--- buying shoes, buying
sweets, buying knives. I have watched the manimals and cried
buying time, buying ends to other peoples lives.
jason and the argonauts there may be no golden fleece but
human riches I'll release.
