Under The Influence Lyrics by Citizen King

Mobile Estates

1999

[Intro]
(Everything you do is for music)
[Verse 1]
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 poision 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
[Chorus]
I've been 'round 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
[Verse 2]
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
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
[Chorus]
I've been 'round 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 'round 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
[Verse 3]
Now 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 wander on the swerve
Transparent mason dixon curves
I've got more nerve than a tiki torch in a quiet storm
So I'm searchin' for the third kind
Blast off and cut the cord
Blast off and cut the cord
(Fascinating, the time has come to go out of your mind)
[Chorus]
I've been 'round 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 'round 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
[Outro]
I'm under the influence tonight
I'm under the influence
