Strychnine-like
Caught in my rib
It's a morpheme-like
Walk like a water drip

Tonight I play
The part of a Sulky Angel
Born to breathe air
The first one to sing out
Becomes the last one to survive
Soul jive

Mad jive
Unceasing beat
Her blue, blue eyes
Must be a black-eyed pea

Tonight I play
The part of a Sulky Angel
Born to breathe air
The first one to sing out
Becomes the last one to survive
Soul jive

Too cruel to be a hero
Breathe in, survive, breathe out, soul jive
Beat those big bird arms
Breathe in, survive, breathe out, soul jive
Alter the circumference of the sky
Breathe in, survive, breathe out, soul jive
Like a dream
A dream

Tonight I play
The part of a Sulky Angel
Born to breathe air
The first one to sing out
Becomes the last one to survive
Soul jive
Soul jive
Soul jive
My soul jive
