Cookie by The Mess Hall Lyrics

From waters to the west i settled down
But in the belly of the city i carve my ground
And as the days go by and the seasons change
A red tide comes in from the bay
There goes cookie with his knife
There goes cookie with his knife
There goes cookie with his knife
With his knife
I took a dirty, dirty wind from my chest
And blew it down to the water's edge
There goes cookie with his knife
There goes cookie with his knife
There goes cookie with his knife
With his knife
I'm gonna take off my clothes
And empty my bones into the river
I'm gonna take off my clothes
And empty my bones into the river
I'm gonna take off my clothes
And empty my bones into the river
I took the wind and made it speak
And woke up all the freaks
I taught the cripples how to walk
And send them running to the peaks
Til everyone was naked
They were naked, they were raw
I drew a line down in the sand and made them fight a war
But they ran around in circles
So i rationed all their thoughts
I took away their systems, i took away their laws
And some were on their knees
And some were swinging from the trees
And the ones left to walk in sync
I taught them to believe
Oh, to believe
That i could rain, rain on this whole parade
And watch it roll, watch it roll away..
