FAST LIFE CAFÉ

Welcome to the fast life café
where minutes turn to days
that waste away in ashtrays
days turn in to month's
& a year feels like a decade
same shit new day, get high or get paid
you know the game
selling sunshine in the rain
in an alley way trying to get away from everything
taking anything till I can't feel a thing
auto pilot mind state spreading wings over paper plates
crashing like paper planes with a suicide note to explain
my scattered brain
In this anorexic food chain
clouded by the snow in the snow globe
I’m just trying to get high so that I can crack the ozone
And I aint even from here I’m just a E.T. trying to go home
Living life at light speed I got no time to be free
Hitching rides with D.U.I.’s
As I swerve from side to side
Trying to make it outside, this sad place
Where minutes turn to days and colors turn to shades
Where honey’s parade the sex trade
Trading aids for Band-Aids
But never mind that’s a piece of mind you never pay
But a piece of ass is worth the cash
If the victim is a slave
Cuz it feels good to feel your pain
Without hearing you complain
trying to make the change with the change in your pocket
but all that really pays is giving brains and getting topless
can you please help me sir? What do you prefer? Officer?
In the office-or a motel for your pleasure
A slave for your leisure with pain you couldn’t measure
But whatever let’s talk weather and forget about it, Money we all about it
& we wilding for the wallet that be growling loudest
We all sick of feeling powerless
Where predators prowl where we rest
new age miners dig with blades
Blasting trough any lucky body with the lottery the size of caves
and you aint got to be Jhonny to get blazed
Trying to get the maximum collecting minimum wage
crime pays even politicians surf the crime wave
I’m searching for my blind date so we can team up and escape
From this fake faith set in place
Setting us in place in rich men’s waste
I be racing till the end of time
Till it’s the end I find
And all that’s left of me are my dying lines

Welcome to the fast life café. Now what can I get you?
Yeah we got over the counter drugs we got under the counter drugs. We got kids we got girls we got androids we got steroids we got guns we got bombs you can gamble or you can pawn
Anything goes as long as you are ready to go.......
Now, what can I get you?
