Under The Influence (album Version) - Citizen King

Now out past the cast of boredom

Cards get dealt I sift and sort them

Table rooftops coming down

Wooden nickels lost and found

Apple pie I'm eating cake now

Coming to the table late now

Juke joint fights and diamond lights

Immune to poison ivy snake bites

Batteries from start to chuck

Got the outer limits voodoo luck

Stand by on a Highball holiday

Served fresh from a plastic tray

I've been around and up and down

Overboard when the ship came down

Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light

I'm under the influence tonight

Well on the concrete on the glass

Beyond the neon green bus pass

Nowhere fast is where I'm going

Like a crack that's slowly leaking

Juice on the floor

I do a little less I take a little more time

Day to day and eye to eye

When these walls become alive

When these walls become alive

I've been around and up and down

Overboard when the ship came down

Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light

I'm under the influence

I've been around and up and down

Overboard when the ship came down

Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light

I'm under the influence tonight

The sparkle helmet spins around

Midnight streak in a twist top town

Crystal clear through amber glasses

Bad with names but worse with faces

Zig zag wandering on the curve

Transparent Mason Dixon curves

I've got more nerve than a Tiki torch in a quiet storm

'Cause I'm searching for the third kind

Blast off and cut the cord

Blast off and cut the cord

The time has come to go out of your mind

I've been around and up and down

Overboard when the ship came down

Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light

I'm under the influence tonight

I'm under the influence tonight

I'm under the influence
