Masters of Reality Re-Release Lyrics

 

The Candy Song

Lay it down little honey child
Got something I wanna taste

I got myself a hatchet
To lay these woods to waste

And when my work is through
I'm gonna bring my cash to you
Go down and see my sugar girl
She knows just what to do

Sugar girl
Wanna piece of that stuff
Crawlin' outta my skin
And I'm down on my luck
Sugar girl
Knocks me off my feet
Yeah the price is high
But the candy's sweet

Been workin' so hard baby
Workin' all night and day
Sometimes I feel like gettin' blind
And jumping in the bay

If you feel like I do too
You know just what to do
Go down and see the sugar girl
She knows just what to do

 

Doraldina's Prophecies

Good morning!
Oh my, little shiny thing
Gets me in the morning

Bringing me round
From the deepest sleep
Wakin' me up
And layin' me down

When I was just a little boy
I tried to cross the river
Jumped on an alligator
I thought he was a horse

Oh my, little shiny thing
Get me, get me everything
Oh my, little Doraldine
Get me in the morning
And bring me 'round
From the deepest sleep
Wakin' me up and layin' me down

Layin' me down

Oh my
Oh sister Doraldine
Get me in the morning
Bringing me 'round
From the deepest sleep
Wakin' me up
And laying me down

When we were just a little girl
We tried to catch the bluebird
But he grabbed her and he ate her

Oh, look out!

 

John Brown

John Brown
Bring him down
Pull his body
To the ground
Left him up
For long enough
Let me be
The baby gruff
John Brown
Bring him down
Pull his body
To the ground

Holiday, holiday
I declare a holiday
Holiday, holiday
No matter what the doctors say
Holiday, holiday
We pull John down
At noon today
Tomorrorw day, nothing rings
Nothing rings and nothing brings

 

Gettin' High

My, my, oh my
Gonna ride
So high

Got one life
And it's mine to live
Ain't gonna make it
Workin' nine to five
Just to stay alive

Got no fins
For to swim in the sea
Got no wings to fly
But I'm gettin' high

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Yeah I know
Times are bad

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
All I got left
Is a prayer
And a bottle of wine
And I'm feelin' fine

 

Magical Spell

Don't she look good
Don't she look fine
She needs to be picked
Like fruit off the vine
Ain't she got class
Ain't she got style
She's got the right ass
But all the while

Ain't I a wreck
My can't you tell
I fell into her magical spell

Been movin' round
Two ships in the night
In the same town
Somethin' ain't right
Am I too nice
Or am I too mean
Does she even think twice
It needs to be seen

Domino

Walking down the street
I can feel the tension
Everybody on me
Like I'm some kinda suspect
It's gotten me to thinkin'
Life's some kinda survival
Hell, that'll be the day
When love is my rival
Get me on a plane
To the Himalayas
I'll find a little ruby
To waste my time with and...

Paint me a picture
And make it the devil
We'll run down the hole if
The roof ain't level

Domino
Domino

Well, I'm shit outta luck today man
Now I'm callin' in my favors
Seems that I can't chew on whipped cream
Without me wakin' up some neighbor who'll...

Paint me a picture
And make it the devil
We'll run down the hole if
The roof ain't level
Domino's fallin'
Black spiders spinnin'
The white gloves flashin'
And I ain't winnin'

Domino

The Blue Garden

Then when the circle spoke
The light fell
The spell broke
Come down on me

Lightning
Came downward
And I fell
As a tear

It's been a sad life
As I stood
Holding the light
To the dark

The eyes that seek me
The eyes that hold all the pain in the world

 

The Eyes Of Texas

The eyes of Texas...are upon you
The eyes of Texas...are upon you

Now here come the girls
In that pretty red Ford
Yeah they're packing the girls
In that pretty red ford

And out of the engine
Came the flame with a name
It burned up my mind
It made me insane

The eyes of Texas
Are upon you

I put on my boots And I got down to work
Yeah I sang her a song
And I got down to work

And out of the engine
Came the flame with a name
It burned up my mind
It made me insane

The eyes of Texas
Are upon you

Get me a bottle
Get me a smoke
I gotta kick back
Gotta let it all go

In the middle of nowhere
Is where I wanna be
In the shade of the pines
Is where I wanns be

 

Lookin' To Get Rite

Baby don't you be so put off
Don't go putting your tail up like that
Cause I take it
Like there's somethin' goin' on
Like somethin' goin' on in the middle of the night (yeah)

Lookin' at your legs
Lookin' at your eyes
Looking at your heart
Lookin' real fine
Baby, I'm just lookin to get rite

I let dollar bills
Slip right from my hands
Let the wind blow
Got no reason to stop

 

Kill The King

I was askin’
For two dollars
Two shots
To kill the king

"if you really love me
And you’re thinking of me
You’d do just about anything"

It happened on a sunday
The liqour stores were closed
Thank heaven for the blue laws
We were swimmin’ in our sunday clothes

I was askin’
For two dollars
To cook up somethin’ cheap
I was shakin’ like the rabbit
That was hangin’ from her teeth

"and in many degrees of heat
The fire looked at the meat
And said ’if I cook you
The least you can do
Is lay there and be sweet’ "

Call the fire in winter
When it snows it won’t be cold
Call the wind in summer
If the salt should reign as gold

Eraticus
Kill the king
Magantas
Kill the king

 

Sleep Walkin'

Don't know where I'm going
My horizon is prone
Got nothin' in my eyes
I got an achin' in my bones

Gotta keep movin'
Don't know what else to do
Gotta keep walkin'
Gonna walk on through

I've been movin' in circles
Been around many times
But I'll never see the light
I'm a sleep walkin' baby
All the time
Sleep walkin'

I got taken away
When the sun went down
I stood there in my own mind
The way a stranger prowls around
