lyrics

Telling all the kids to conform
Begging them to take your arm
Leading them through the rapture
with your poor old roving jewel

The meek are how they get their meat
Come on in and take a seat
Tell us what you're scared of
so we don't go in the streets

Did you forget about me
I didn't forget about you
I'm out here with the rest of them
and we're trying to hold up the seat
of the Kingdom Illusion
Where they feed us their poison

Slanging the gift of void
settle in for old bar stools
you're alive with revolution
come and get one more round
here's the way to keep you calm
slanging you to their old clowns
who spit you up out on the streets
and toss you into the can

Did you forget about me?
I didn't forget about you
south of loving Jesus
up north with a perfect view
of the Kingdom Illusion

They try to keep you on the gridlock
I say lose them

Baby baby baby light your head on fire
there's nothing there's nothing there's nothing going to keep you alive
If you keep running around and around
keep telling everyone about your rebel sound
How everything is changing
gotta keep your head down
take cover wake up keep quiet alright alright

I'll forget about you
If you swear that you never knew me
and we'll both breed more babies
walk out on the flooded streets
of the kingdom illusion
I can see the kingdom rocking back and forth
it's an illusion
Why can't you take me out of hell mama
I'm losing it
Oh lord, illusion

I got a house on the hill
looking out on the ruined world
I got my ice I got my ride
A couple cigarettes for the drive
going south on the I-5
going to find a way to forget
who I am
who I've been
how I lost my way again
Illusion

Whiskerman image

Whiskerman Oakland, California

"When they're revved up, Whiskerman sounds like a gospel and soul band that can make you feel like raising your hands in the air in praise of its talent. In their quieter songs, there's a storytelling vibe with intricate melodies."
