lyrics

Temptation (S. Sinner)
I seen your pumpkin smile
Soon the top will fall in from the heat
And the blood will run down through1 those razor sharp trick or treats
You see the clouds in our eyes think we're dazed
Well its more like a calm yeah, a prophecy of storm
And when the blood runs down you will have been forewarned
I see your slow starvation ways
My temptation to turn you inside out
Expose your Lincoln log jam bones as the blood runs down
I seen your shape shifting ways
You go on and anoint yourself now
The devil in the lamb's clothes as the blood runs down
With the lead in our veins
Colosseum shadows on the schools in decay
And as the blood runs down
Those (g)Nats2 buzz away.
You say let eat cake
My temptation to toss you in bound
I say let them eat pork as the blood runs down


Footnotes
1 This song references a scene in 100 Years of Solitude where José Arcadio kills himself, the blood runs from his head, across town,
to his mother's feet.
2 Short for the Washington Nationals. A sports team. The song is in part about eminent domain actions in the early 2000s in
Washington, D.C.

American Sinner Maryland

American Sinner is a rock n' roll stiletto switchblade dance along the edge of a knife that opens up for stabbing. They are not your run-of-the-mill musical tricksters in harlequin unitards holding bouquets of flowers behind their backs. No!...they got it all -manliness like Bowie and femininity like Tina Turner. They got it all so when these boys are randy to rock, you better let 'em. ... more
