The first attempt didn't go quite as planned but I didn't let it get me down
After all you always said we don't make mistakes we just have happy accidents
I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe those words were true
So I'll go back to the drawing board and destroy this hellspawn I raised from the remains of you
In a Florida cemetery
Book bound in human skin clasped in my hand
I stand over a grave
Trying to bring about the dawn of a new age
Of joy and painting of taking care of the earth
My chose prophet understands these things but right now he's buried six feet under me
And as it turns out
Black magic isn't as easy as wet on wet painting technique
The stakes are a bit higher
If I fuck up the whole world could end in fire
Oh Bob what would you do
If you found yourself in my shoes
Oh Bob I could really use
Some soft spoken reassurances from you
Oh how I love thee
Arise and shed your light upon me
If I could just get this incantation right
I would have the means to give you divine might
Everyone's forgotten your name
And the world's just a blue and green ball of hate
I know I know I know
Your second coming could take that pain away
Oh Bob what would you do
If you found yourself in my shoes
Oh Bob I could really use
Some soft spoken reassurances from you
Oh how I love thee
Arise and shed your light upon me
If I could just get this incantation right
I would have the means to give you divine might
I've been here all day
And I'm prepared to stay all night
If I ever get discouraged
I'll just pull out my phone
Watch you paint mountains for a while
