The Bad Arts

Absolve, absolve, absolve

We spent the better part of the day

Waiting for the wave to hit our side of town

It didn't

Absolve, absolve, absolve

I wash my hands of the stuff of legends

And what news of the horizon?

I hear it's all just a horizontal myth

So stop your cruising, start your criticizing, oh

Indulge yourself for once

Feel medium between them

Goddamn your eyes

They just had to be twin prizes waiting for the sun

And goddamn your eyes

They just had to be twin prizes waiting for the sun

They just had to be twin prizes waiting for the sun

See them sporting those eagle iron-ons

You made me swear never to wear?

Why did you spend the 90's cowering?

Why did you spend the 90's cowering?

And they're singing those inspirationals

You penned back in '72

And the hotels of choice are now toasting your voice

As the spas ring out

"What's another word for 'sacrament?'"

The world woke up one day to proclaim

"Thou shalt not take part in, or make, bad art."

In these tough, tough times friends like mine

Would rather dash than dine

On the bones of what's thrown to them

When a wave of her wand has us back at the pond

Taking notes for our crooked underground

The world woke up one day to proclaim

"Thou shalt not make or take part in the bad arts."

You see, the singer sold us out

The guitarist lost his clout on Life-Of-The-Mind Day

When signs become impure again

The crowd doesn't know where or when

To let it all hang out

Bloodlet yourself, street style

You've got the spirit, don't lose the feeling

You've got the spirit, don't lose the feeling

You've got the spirit, don't lose the feeling

You've got the spirit, don't lose the feeling

Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit) Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit) Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit) Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit) Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit) Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit) Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit) Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit) Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit) Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit) Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit) Don't lose the feeling

(You've got the spirit)
