Traps & Trumps lyrics

This album can be found here. 

1. Trapped & Trumped...The Mundane Existence of Our Holy One

Instrumental.

2. The White Light Burns at a Nonexistent Height (Blue Mint Mountain)

Blue Mint Mountain: Chew him down,

Traps 'n' trumps, traps 'n' trumps.

Burn another cigarette: Light it up,

Traps 'n' trumps, traps 'n' trumps.

Whistle blows steam: The tracks end at me

Traps 'n' trumps, traps 'n' trumps. 

Join the team: The team ends with me,

Traps 'n' trumps, traps 'n' trumps

Trump your friend,

Trap him down,

Twist and bend 'til he can't see the light

(The White Light).

Blue Mint Mountain: Chew him down.

3. Not Enough to Get Me Stone Cold Kumbaya High 

Too much pride,

Too much consolation.

Too much inspiration,

Not enough insulation.

Too much veneration,
Not enough ventilation.
Too much jealousy,
Not enough time to eat.

Too many women

Too many people sinnin'

Too much hope,
Too much pride
Optimism bit your eye.
Not enough, not enough: To get you by or high
Not enough to buy your fuckin' high

Too much people,

Too much steeple.

Kumbaya

Too many cats,
Too many baseball bats.
Playin' games in the street
While a police man passes,

He's just on a Sunday afternoon drive

Just drivin' by
Stone Cold high.

4. The Dude Feud

Instrumental

5. Fire in the Rain (Bright Angry Red Light)

Just dirt on the ground,

No grass cover here.

So thick,

It bleeds underneath.

The Earth's hair's gone.

Hope shovels heaping needs.

Our race erased from the page,

A single note played.

Squealing missles echo: Shine.

Bright angry red light, bright angry red light.

Our skin burns all the same,

All of our cultures drain into the same pipes.

Down into the center of the Earth, center of the Earth.

Burnin', churnin', deservin':

We earned nothing. We owe nothing. We are nothing...

To the eye in the sky,

Fire in the rain.

Gas burns yellow,

Same as sugar cane.

We lost the game that was given

from the eye in the sky.

To the eye in the sky,

Fire in the rain, Fire in the rain.

6. A Pink One

My mom ran away when I was just 16.

She drank heavily: Drained every bottle in every box.

My brother pawned the house and now I'm on the street.

I guess it's what I need, now I'll never sleep.

Dreams of the past:

Pacin' in the basement.

Giant insects bite my knees and crawl into my heart.

10 left fingers in the octagon,

With the mastodon:

Blazed to pieces in the back of a truck.

All right ones gone 'cause they're stuck in the steel rung. 

Saw my father in the dirt: He dug a tunnel of rebirth.

There's no place for him in the light.

His feet don't like the heated ground: the ground that brought him down.

But he dug too deep, now he's burning churning 'round.

Dreams of my past:

Saw my dad at the corner drug,

Buying Oxycontin from a man wearin' a thong.

Haha... Yes,

A pink one.

7. Rhinestone Leaf Blower

Like it was the Rhinestone on the block,

Like i was the man with my fiddy cocked, 

If I was only the one that I meant to be, 

Then I guess I wouldn't have to smoke trees, 

I guess I wouldn't have to blow leaves (for a livin'),

Yeah I'm on the block with the leaf blower, and I brought the extra clip:

Battery operated,

So I'm not askin' if I can use an outlet, 

It's more professional to have your own source of power.

8. No Where In Between (Limousine Driver)

Movin' 'cross the bay,

Just 100 ton of steel and man.

I cant wait to dip my toes in the sand,

I cant wait to for my feet to kiss land
I'm goin home to see my baby:
She's gotta be waitin at the docks

When the ship comes in:

The majesty's navy,

Last stop

Scannin' the crowds,

Wheres my lady

Thinkin' shes hidin',
is she gonna pop out?
Maybe,
A suprise:
A limousine ride:

By and by

Ridin' high.
She'd rent it out,
Wouldn't cost much more than a dollar:
She's knows a guy, he's a limousine driver...

Wait a second, where's my baby?
She never showed up, So i took a taxi home.
Strangers in our apartment
And they told me:
The last tenant moved down to Miami.
Somethin' about a limousine driver
Takin my baby for a ride on my dime,

You see, 'cause I left her all my money.

And when i went to the bank,
They told me she cashed out our joint account

I'm goin insane,
So I bought some heroin on credit.
Shot it up and now I'm in heaven:

Cloud to cloud, searchin' for my baby.

Near and far, I'm no where in between.

9. A Mountain So High, A Range So Wide

Nobody wants to go up a mountain that's so high.

I mean, I don't feel the time.

Do what you want me to:

I don't wanna know nobody that's so hopeless.

And I don't wanna go around no range that's so wide.

10. She Rested Full of Laughter

And after the rain,

The light lifted clouds of green.

And God she spoke with a tongue the length of the Nile.

She spans all of the Atlantic now,

And now she rests full of laughter, full of life... Stolen from underneath your seat.

To be heard,

To be murdered,

To be a man or a turd.

I choose the one who denies the belly-up beast.

He's got a meal ticket, you aint got grammar school,

Let alone a choice to make.

And when the rain came,

it washed clean the brain.

And then it stopped.

Dried out and refracted: Our lives were forever changed.

And she didn't offer any forgiveness, 

No, just the truth

For our own interpretation: 

Well, we went down to the shore and we rode the waves down.

He came down from Mississippi,

He knows a man down in New Orleans,

He'll install one in your body for damn dirty cheap.

Yeah, damn near free.

And he came with a wallet for a brain,

Pictures and cash hanging out and he's walkin' with a cane,

That he got from Kane.

And the light lifted and the clouds of green dissipated,

And God she spoke with a tongue the size of the Nile.

Spanning all of the Atlantic now, 

She rested full of laughter, full of peace.

11. Yugoclavakian Dance

 Instrumental

12. Echo Out His Vest

Shot 'em in the vest

Parents put 'em down

Echo out his vest...

Echo out his vest...

Echo out his vest...
