1
Tonight, tonight, tonight
2
[Matthew Santos]
3
The stars are alive, and the path is colliding
4
the plan is arriving, and she's out there smiling
5
the fear is upon us, the skies tried to warn us
6
their perils are goners, no children to mourn us
7
it's driving me crazy this whore is my lady
8
we've lost all our babies and God is amazing
9
the tick of the timer, the slip of the rhymer
10
the pimp and the riser your cross there you'll find her
11
hey, hey
12
[CHORUS]
13
Death is on the tip of her tongue and
14
dangers at the tip of her fingers
15
streets are on fire tonight
16
Death is on the tip of her tongue and
17
dangers at the tip of her fingers
18
streets are on fire tonight
19
[Lupe][Verse 1]
20
Disease the virus is spreading in all directions
21
no safe zone no cure and no protection
22
no symptoms define the signs of an infection
23
no vaccines, remedies, and no corrections
24
Quarantine the dreams and seal off the connections
25
don't let them in not a friend not a reflection
26
everybody's got it and want you to have it next and
27
don't accept them if you want to stay as an exception
28
no pill can heal the ill of this
29
sickness some are still in doubt of its existence
30
some call it forgiveness and some call it the vengeance
31
some say it's an exit and some say it's an entrance
32
the poor say the rich have the cure
33
the rich say the poor are the source
34
revolutionaries say it's physiological war
35
invented by the press, just to have something to report
36
some say the first case came from a maternity ward
37
some say a morgue, some say the skies, some say the floors
38
whores say the nuns, nuns say the whores
39
and everybody is sure
40
the scientist say it only affects the mind
41
the little boy said it only affects the girls
42
the preacher man said it's going to kill off the soul
43
a bum said it's going to kill the whole wide world.
44
[CHORUS]
45
[Verse 2]
46
Believe some say the neon signs by the
47
loudspeakers repeating that everything is fine;
48
a subtle solace to demolish the troubled conscience
49
of a popus with no knowledge and every freedom denied
50
every dream is designed and broadcasted
51
from the masters to the masses
52
from the antennas on the top of the shrines
53
refine the receiver and plant it
54
during the panic and short it, it reports back
55
everything in your mind, everything is lying
56
everything is dying, everything is a rule
57
everything is a crime, everything was here then
58
everything rewind the new
59
weather burned the feathers off everything flying
60
(And she likes it, and she loves it)
61
the sadness, the madness, the bash it
62
the lavish, the fastest, the clashes, the ashes to ashes
63
everything intertwined
64
my femme fatale my darling fraudulent angel
65
once caught her changing the batteries in her halo
66
receipt for her wings and everything that she paid for
67
and the address to the factory where they made those
68
scientist said she's all inside my mind
69
the little boy said what happened to all the girls
70
the preacher man said she's going to kill off your soul
71
the dope boy said it's the whole wide world
72
[CHORUS]
