Seikilos Epitaph Lyrics

I used to treat her like a minor bitch, the love of my life

I got complacent 'cause it made me rich

See her frequently when I was coked up and pissed

We were on the same wavelength for a bit

Amped up, turned on, tuned in and copped out

Vinyl junkies with the munchies till I got too used to it

Who needs a friend when you can get a fix

Confused I refused the second opinion 'cause I was used to it

Strong-headed horny devil no less

Music to my ears when I would confess

I was blessed, whenever I had the urge to itch

I had to consult the witch doctor for advice

Reading throwing bones was the only satiation of appetite

Acting on what she revered was like dancing on tyrants graves

Mastering slaves, roles played, souls saved

Played the most brave, outsourced bought and paid

All material gained is transient, scoring the highest pitch is relevant

So is the promotion, if you can register in your fifth element

Music love it, don't abuse it

Going through some changes since I'm looking like I was gonna lose it

That melody on that scale got me licked hard

Kicked around, giving a beat down in class

I was upbeat even though I was snared at through the looking glass

Aim high if you wanna hit the 16th fast

Metaphor in 4-4 the high priest wears a mask

Ate by Satan no debating, if you argue with me you're only masturbating

Grand wizard of this game, from Oz, till it's revealed

Using kids as a human shield as a degenerate's detergent

Or the poor man's pacifier, or as it's known in the field

I'll retreat to dig in my own ditch, switch up the phrase but repeat the patterns

That's what's nice, now we cruising in a major way

Don't love me but I'm so far away

Ego finish up here 'cause I'm done for the day

Fishing for symbols, from god, crash, Wilson, cast away, cast away

Now, here's the one ingredient that is very, very important in order to hold this whole thing together

And that is a clothes peg, so here we go with the clothes peg

Now we're going to put the old clothes peg into the old cauldron

And here we go, woohoo, my goodness that was a good one
