Reincarnation Lyrics by Detroit Leprechaun

Reefer-Tip Shark

2015

[Shark]
It’s hard to paint a mountain skimming off the top
And it’s hard to earn respect with a word and a hart
Beacon to beacon, twilight to casualty
Clamping my tongue ‘cause there’s no tolerance for anonymity
Could’ve been Nietzsche or Soprano
Bread & circuses snag the sad clown’s plans go…
They told me pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
Unless it’s steel, but that made me feel Byzantine
An impious cloud skirting through ashes on morphine
How’d a crumbled Frank Lucas endure?
He had a concrete prime no doubt could obscure
Poke it with a stick, call him a stupid mick
Tell him he’ll never escape the Irish confetti
God created whiskey to stop the Irish from taking over the world
And the Irish sold liquor to take over America
Stones hurled in hysteria, that’s his fate
Or he can be Nucky Thompson with a little faith
A luxury a phantom could never afford
[Black Sheep]
Drifting beacon to beacon
Lightbringer to lightbringer
And then the lord said let there be light
And then the light was horrified when it gazed
Upon a dark fin, but even worse at dark wool
So it recedes
And knowledge of this great light affects the two extremes
The shark denies it and his stubbornness is bare
The sheep feels purposeless and cries because he can’t express
Because doing so just makes the light repulse even further
Cling, latch, hold on
What am I supposed to do? I must chase the light
And the shark must chase me
And hopefully I’ll secure the light before
I’m secured in his jaws
They say I’m overthinking
They say it’s impossible
But if I’m the only one, I must
And if I’m not, then there’s another black sheep for me
The older I get, the bigger I dream
I want to be loved for what I am
But the light loves me, still
The light in the darkness is more beautiful than a daylight full of shadows
Take my words and do what I never could do: rise
The shark devoured the black sheep inside
